Road Cleanup
We have been doing this community project for a number of years.
We currently clean Highway 97 once or twice a year.
We typically meet at a local business office in the Business Park for coffee and doughnuts and then head out. Maximum time for this project is 2 hours.
Many Rotarians and other volunteers get involved with this event.
The project is in cooperation with Deschutes County, who provide the garbage bags and safety vests. We pile up the bags and they pick them up.
