MILTON, Ga., Oct. 17, 2014 - Don't forget that the City of Milton will hold two great events tomorrow - River's Alive 2014 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Better Together's Business Connection Event at CJ's Talk of the Town from 2 to 5 p.m.
RIVER'S ALIVE
On Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Milton's annual "Rivers Alive" waterways cleanup, education and protection program will be held at locations across the city.
The Milton Grows Green Committee (MGG) is co-sponsoring the event with Bailey Farm & Gardens, Inc., which has been involved with the project for 17 years. Rivers Alive 2014 will kick off from its traditional location at Bailey Farm & Gardens, 255 Hickory Flat Road, one mile west of the Birmingham Crossroads (click here for directions).
Volunteers will gather at 9 a.m., then clean up identified streams, roadways and school sites to help keep our city and waterways pure and beautiful. Everyone, regardless of age, is welcome.
Depending on age and capabilities, volunteers will be assigned to predetermined local waterways to remove debris deposited from upstream and left by passers-by. Waders and boots will be a plus for those who want to get in the river.
Milton Adopt-a-Road groups are encouraged to have a clean-up during the event and stop by for refreshments and recognition.
For information or to register for the clean-up as a group or individual, please contact Milton Grows Green at mgg@cityofmiltonga.us or Bill and Julie Bailey of Bailey Farm & Gardens, Inc. at baileyfarmandgardens@mindspring.com or 404-310-6344. You may also contact Cindy Eade, environmental sustainability coordinator for the City of Milton, at 678-242-2509.
CJ'S TALK OF THE TOWN
Make sure you're at CJ's Talk of the Town Saturday, Oct. 18, when Better Together, the city's citizen volunteer committee, holds the fourth in its series of business connection events.
This free event will take place from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct.18, at CJ's Talk of the Town, located in the Deerfield Place Shopping Center (click here for directions). The entire community is invited.
