If you've got time to clean...

Dozens of community volunteers heeded the call to help clean up the Keizer Civic
Center grounds on Saturday, March 12.
The cleanup, sponsored by the City of Keizer, was coordinated by the Claggett
Creek Watershed Council and hosted by the Rotary Club of Keizer.
Volunteers gathered trimmings from shrubs, trees and grasses, removing weeds,
and dumped the collected debris into a drop box, donated by Loren’s Sanitation.
Volunteers included families, church organizations and others. The days activities
were overseen by Mark Caillier, of the Claggett Creek Watershed Council, city coun-
cilor Dan R. Kohler and Matt Lawyer, who sits on several city commissions.
For the first time in years of civic center clean ups, good weather was the order of
the day on March 12.
“It’s the best weather we’ve ever had,” said Caillier.
