Purple Bows in support of the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer will appear on mailboxes at the end of March.

St. James P.R.I.D.E. Seeks Volunteers
Research shows that cleaner roadways have a several benefits: 1-people are less likely to throw things out of their car windows if the roadways are well-kept; 2-the perceived value of the community is increased (i.e., desirability of living there, home valuations, etc.); 3-less food garbage means fewer animals foraging and ending up as roadkill; and 4-reducing cigarette butt litter means less opportunity for accidental fires. Nature, your home and the environment are protected in all of these.
Our volunteers will remove litter from 2-miles of Hwy. 211 this coming Saturday (March 3rd) starting at 9:00 am. We are usually done by 10:30 am. For more information or to pre-register to help, just send an e-mail to either Steve Cherry (scherry3@ec.rr.com) or Sandy Cherry (sandy.cherry@gmail.com) or call us at 910-253-9022.
Clean The Highway is our flagship litter removal program. We do this 4-5 times per year.
