Itinerary:


Come out and join me for my annual participation in Rivers Alive!

The Annual River's Alive event in Woodstock will be held at Olde Rope Mill Park.  We'll meet @ the pavilion on the right as you drive in.  There is plenty of parking.

The Rivers Alive clean-up starts at 9am and goes until 1 pm, but I would like our group to meet at 8:45 am.

FREE Rivers Allive T-shirts will be giving to us for our volunteer efforts, but are at a first come first serve basis.

Gloves and trash bags will be provided, but if you have heavy gloves or prefer to bring your own, please do so.

This is a volunteer event sponsored by the following organizations:
Rivers Alive
Cherokee County Water & Sewer Authority
Upper Etowah River Alliance
City of Woodstock
City of Holly Springs

The sponsors will provide a few breakfast items, snacks and water in the morning prior to the cleanup.

Notes:

This is a land based cleanup.

If the water levels are high enough at the time of the event, then I might give a shout out for kayaks.  At this time (9-24-12), the river is too low to launch a canoe/kayak.


* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.
