This last weekend - September 27-28 - was another busy one for City of Columbia volunteers. Pictured here is a father and daughter who picked up trash near Flat Branch Park as part of the Hinkson Clean Sweep. Volunteers left their mark on our city several ways:- volunteers assisted at the Columbia Festival of the Arts with set up, children's events, surveys, staffing the information booths and booth sitting for artists.
- the TreeKeepers planted trees at Auburn Hills Park, a new neighborhood park on the north end of Derby Ridge Road.
- volunteers from Karis Community Church and other concerned citizens worked to remove graffiti in the central city.
- more than 200 volunteers worked to pick up two tons of trash in our creeks through the Hinkson Clean Sweep.
We live in an amazing community where literally hundreds of people share their time each week. I invite you to view a slide show with more photos from Saturday.
