This weekend -- over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday -- we organized Beach Clean Ups in Madeira Beach -- meeting volunteers in Archibald Park parking lot at 8:30 AM -- through the Biden Inaugural Committee's MLK Day of Service volunteer program.
This morning 28 volunteers came out at 8:30 this morning — from Orlando, Land O’Lakes, Seminole, Largo, Belleair Bluffs, Redington Beach, St Pete, and MadBch — and got right out there in the beach, nearby parks, along Gulf Blvd - and picked up more than 110 lbs!!!
Over the course of the three days, we picked up more than 155 pounds of trash!
Several of the volunteers who joined us over the last 3 days offered to come out and pick up trash with us again in the future! So we hope this is just the beginning. And we look forward to doing our part to clean up our beautiful beach community for all to enjoy.
I just love how the new Administration is already bringing people together to solve problems. Thank you to all who served across our country today in honor of Dr. King's legacy.

I brought the trash home with me (!) -- sorted it into recycling, trash, and then pulled out some pieces for our recycled arts and crafts projects
