Adopt-a-Highway cleanup set
Summer is here and more people are traveling
to the San Bernard Refuge and FM 2918 boat
ramp � some leaving reminders of their
visits. Friends Of the River San Bernard is
looking for 12 volunteers to help clean up 2
miles of FM 2918 from 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Thursday as part of the group�s quarterly
commitment to the Texas Department of
Transportation Adopt-a-Highway program.
Children 7 to 14 years old must be
supervised by a parent. The state requires
that no children younger than 7 participate.
Volunteers will meet at 10 a.m. at Bernard
Grocery, where chairman Pat Jankowiak will
distribute safety vests, bags, trash poles
and give final instructions before beginning
the cleanup at 10:30 a.m.
Participants should bring mosquito spray,
sunscreen, hats, gloves and boots. Trash
bags and cold water will be provided. A
picnic lunch will be provided for volunteers
following the event. In the event of rain,
the clean up will be Friday.
For information, or to volunteer, call
Jankowiak at (979) 964-3168 or e-mail
adopthighway@sanbernardriver.com .
