Adopt-A-Highway Trash Pick-Up Is Coming

Derek Desgranges, aka “Captain Highway”, fearless leader of the SPY’s Adopt-A-Highway project, wants to remind everyone about Saturday July 11th. will be the second highway trash pick-up of the season.  Anyone wishing to help out is asked to meet at the Best Tax Service building at 9 AM.

The SPY's pick-up trash along M-43 from Round Lake Road on the west side of town to Shaytown Road on the east side of town, three times a year in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Transportation program.  If for any reason you can’t make it for the July 11th. pick-up day but would still like to help out by doing some picking up on a different day of that week, just give Derek a call at 269-838-7686 and get some bags and he will give you a small section to take care of.  What do you say, let’s have a great turnout and spiff-up the roadsides leading into our community.

·      Did You Know Section:  When Buzz Aldrin joined Neil Armstrong on the surface of the Moon, he had to make sure not to lock the door behind him because the “Eagle” lunar module had no exterior handle.
