Ms. Michelle, may I introduce you to www.AdoptYourBlock.com?

Ms. Michelle, thank you for your positive comments about our area's litter problem. Please visit the Adopt Your Block - Be a litter-Gitter website at www.AdoptYourBlock.com.

We have close to 600 volunteers in Huntington who have been "litter-gitters" for the past year. Our website reflects the amount of litter we have removed from our neighborhoods. Please join us! I will gladly deliver one of our litter pickup sticks, bags and gloves. We only ask that you commit to keeping just your own block free of cigarette butts and other litter. We focus on eliminating litter - one block at a time.

Our noble cause is being joined by others each day. We are committed to making our area shine! Again, thanks for your on-going ideas and encouragement.
