VO: Keep Omaha Beautiful Event
Below is information regarding the August volunteer activity we have assembled. I understand this was something that was attempted last year but it got rained out so we will try again (we will again cancel if rain or other bad weather happens). Keep Omaha Beautiful needs our help in the area of town around 60th and Center for a couple projects. I have attached information sheets on what the below summary is referring to as well as a more printable version of this information. I also understand everyone is busy and we have other options around the city to participate in but it would be great to see a few of you out on Saturday August 10th at 9am.

What to bring:

KOB will provide trash bags, recycling bags, and vinyl gloves to each volunteer. Litter collection ‘grabbers’ can also be loaned to volunteers upon request. While everyone is welcome to use the grabbers, they are best suited for reaching into drains and ravines, and for older volunteers or volunteers with disabilities. Additional supplies that can be provided for a litter cleanup include: safety vests, water skimmers, brooms & dust pans, rakes, and yard waste bags. Please request these items before or during your supply pickup. (Scott will take care of gathering the necessary supplies from KOB)
