Subject: Rose Creek Stewardship CLEAN UP! Hi Friends! Here is your friendly reminder about our Rose Creek Stewardship Roadside (and creek) litter clean up as a part of Keep Oconee Clean and Beautiful Commissions GREAT OCONEE CLEAN UP!   Click on that link to see the story I wrote for Patch, and why Melvin Davis wants us to step up our efforts for this event.  It's an interesting story! The event takes place all over Oconee County on April 21st, but because I will be involved in those efforts on that day, I have scheduled our ROSE CREEK STEWARDSHIP clean up the Sunday before, on April 15. I HOPE YOU WILL PARTICIPATE IN BOTH EVENTS, but at the very least, let's get our area litter free! I am hoping that you will meet me at The Covered Bridge at 2:00 on Sunday April 15 and we can sort out the rest of the details from there. I will have safety vests, bags, gloves (I think) and pick up sticks, and also orange cones to help keep us safe in our efforts...

Pick up trash in your neighborhood or consider volunteering for the Tour D'Oconee bike ride early Saturday morning, May 7 Subject: Rose Creek Stewardship Dear Friends and Neighbors, Happy Earth Day! Last March we all banded together to clean up roadsides and creek banks along Elder Mill Road, Big Rose Creek, and Little Rose creek.  We collected 85 pounds of trash and a whopping 220 pounds of recyclable materials! I was so thrilled and honored that you all wanted to be a part of that project, which is attached to my upcoming art exhibit. I am contacting you again on behalf of Keep Oconee Clean And Beautiful Commission's "Great Oconee Clean Up Project". KOCBC has joined with county officials to name April 30 and May 14 as special clean up days.  You can meet up with groups at Harris Shoals Park to go to designated areas, or, you can clean up in your own neighborhood.  Please see the attached flyer for more details. After our successful clean up last March, I f...
