Citizens Respond To Anti-Litter Mission!

The following citizens in Fairfield West have taken the Adopt YOUR Block - Be a Litter-Gitter pledge: Courtney Bell, Damon Core, Rebecca Glass, Gloria Green, Loretta Hagler, Brandi Jacobs-Jones, James Page, Ruth Page, Toni Page, Shanna Johnson, and Teresa Johnson. My compliments to each of you.

And exactly what is the litter-gitter pledge (it's a tough one)? Here goes: "I promise to be a good Litter-Gitter."

It is that simple. We give you a litter-gitter-pick-up-stick and you agree to keep the block on which you live free of litter and cigarette butts. Just YOUR block. We want you to just be on the lookout on your block and if you see a piece of litter (before any build-up), just grab your litter-gitter and pick it up. With the stick you don't have to bend over and you don't have to touch it! Just put it in a plastic bag and put it out with your regular household trash. The city has agreed to pick up all bagged litter that you put out on your regular pickup day.

Call me! I'll help you get involved and I will even help you clean your block the first time. Richard Cobb - 523-7902.
