The Chelsea Kiwanis Club picked up over 30 bags of trash along I-94 during its weekend Adopt-A Highway clean-up efforts. The club also recovered more than $10 in returnable cans and bottles thrown from vehicles on the side of the highway.
“We would like to encourage the community members and those just passing through, to consider disposing of their trash properly. It would be far more productive for our Adopt-a-Highway volunteers to spend time and effort on other community service projects, said Bob Milbrodt.
On Monday, April 27, the club will welcome Aubree Shemwell and Dana Emmert, board members from the Chelsea Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). They will talk about activities they have pursued with students in the past, and those planned for the future.
“We have worked together for many years on the Finale Day project, fun for kids and families, which is at South Meadows Elementary School on May 8 this year,” Milbrodt said.
The Kiwanis has also assisted the PTO with the Bulldog Jog and Punt, Pass and Kick in the fall and hope the PTO can help them start a K Kids Club at both elementary schools. The clubs are a way to introduce the children to ways they can serve the community while having fun with their classmates.
The meeting begins at 6:15 p.m. in the St. Joseph Mercy-Chelsea Hospital cafeteria, and the speakers begin at about 6:45 p.m., and everyone is invited to the meetings to learn about Kiwanis.
