Saturday, Sept. 12--James Island Pride Clean Up and Dedication for Ben Rd., Jeffrey, and Lemontree Rd.

This Saturday will be busy for the Town of James Island.  Starting at 9:00, James Island Pride will be holding another regular Community  Clean-Up.       

Volunteering is a great way to benefit your community. We can not keep James Island beautiful and litter free unless there are volunteers willing to donate a little time and effort into making this Community Cleanup a success. Beyond being unsightly, litter presents a threat to wildlife and public health. Pitching in and cleaning up some trash is an easy way for anyone to help out.

Pick up 'Lunch Ticket' and Supplies between 9:00-9:30am. Lunch provided, served at 11:00am for volunteers at Town of James Island.

We Provide:
Water
Safety Vests
Work Gloves
Trash Bags
& Lunch

What to Bring:...
Comfortable Shoes
Sunscreen/ Bug Spray
Your Friends!

 

At 11 there will be a dedication ceremony for three roads that have been paved in the Town--Ben Road, Jeffrey Road, and Lemontree Road.     This will be at Stephen Washington Park, which is the City of Charleston Park located at the corner of Honey Hill Drive and Fort Johnson Road.

The Town initiated both of these paving projects.   The Town contributed its own funds and requested matching funds.  Some of the matching funds for the Ben Road project came from the 1/2 cent sales tax.  The matching funds for Lemontree and Jeffrey came from the Charleston County Transportation Committee, which is made up of representatives of local governments and disburses funds provided by the state. Charleston County Transportation managed both projects on behalf of the Town.  Thank you.

 

I plan to combine the two activities, picking up trash along Fort Johnson, Ben Rd., Jeffrey Road, and Lemontree Road so that they will all be nice and neat before the ceremony.
