🗓️Date: Sat. March 14th

🕘Time: 9am

📍Place: Walgreens 2550 N Hiawassee Rd

We are seeking volunteers to assist with our community clean-up event on Sat. March 14th. The Pine Hills Community Council has joined the Adopt-A-Road program to express our gratitude, pride, and commitment to maintaining the beauty of Pine Hills.

By participating in this clean-up effort, we hope to inspire others to take similar actions. A clean community is visually appealing and enhances the quality of life for its residents. It fosters a sense of pride and ownership among community members. Moreover, clean communities attract businesses, residents, and visitors, which can lead to increased property values and stimulate economic growth.

For any questions, please contact Candie Washington, the Chair of the Adopt-A-Road Initiative, at Lwashington@pinehills.info.
