Kiwanis Club of Aurora Announces Fox River Cleanup “One Day” Service Project April 2, 2016 8:00 am – 12:00pm The “One-Day” objective is to unite volunteers to participate on the same day in a hands-on service project to better our community. At the last cleanup event in 2015, there were over 325 volunteers who helped in removing trash from in and around the Indian Creek area. The goal for the Fox River this year is to have 300 volunteers come together and impact our community. Kiwanis is partnering with Fox Metro Water Reclamation District, City of Aurora, Aurora Township, Fox Valley Park District, and other local agencies in conducting what we hope will be another successful cleanup event. Volunteers are required to sign a liability waiver; youth under 18 must have a parent or guardian signed waiver. Adolescent groups are required to provide 1 adult supervisor for every 10 children. A 2.5 mile portion of the Fox River from Ashland Avenue to the Fox Valley Park District’s Cole Center will be the target area this year. Headquarters will be at the Cole Center located at 101 W. Illinois Ave. After check-in, breakfast snacks will be available. Transportation to and from the various river segments will be provided. An appreciation lunch will conclude the event back at headquarters. Please bring proper attire and dress for changing weather conditions. Please contact Pat Divine at (630) 301-6817 regarding the cleanup. You may also e-mail your questions to
[email protected] Additional notes: Fox Metro will be present at the “One Day” cleanup event collecting expired and unwanted medications. The mission of Fox Metro is to prevent improperly disposed of medications from entering our water ways. Medications will be turned over to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for proper disposal. Use this opportunity as one more way to protect our environment.
