Slidell residents can spend a few hours sprucing up the town during the annual 2008 citywide spring cleanup Saturday.

The event takes place from 9 a.m. to noon, and a free lunch, sponsored by the Krewe of Dionysus, will be provided for volunteers.

A number of prizes will also be offered to the team that collects the most litter.

Volunteers will fan out to their designated routes across the city in areas where litter tends to accumulate more quickly than others.

Group leaders should show up at the park between 8:30 and 9 a.m. In the event of rain, the cleanup will be held Sunday from 1-4 p.m.

“Come on out and show your civic pride by volunteering at this great event,” said KSB Executive Director Bill Mauser. “We’ll provide trash bags, safety vests and gloves.”

The city can always use more volunteer litter-busters. So, if you’re just now learning about the cleanup and want to pitch in, just show up at the park before the kickoff.

For more information about Keep Slidell Beautiful, its programs and projects, call Mauser at 265-5029 or Wanda Beelman at 646-4307.
