Westport Lions Roar
By Lion Bob Reddick
On Saturday, April 29 the Westport Lions in conjunction with Rideau Lakes Township is organizing a PITCH-IN day to collect roadside litter. Participants will meet at the Lions’ clubhouse at 63 Mountain Road between 9:00 and 9:30 and will be given bags and assigned an area road.
Volunteers will meet back at the clubhouse to enjoy a free barbecue lunch provided by the Club. Last year, Lions and volunteers picked up a total of 41 bags of litter and 280 beer cans.
Yellow PITCH-IN bags are available free of charge from libraries, the township office, or by contacting Ben Rothwell at 1-800-928-2250 Ext 230 or emailing him
at brothwell@rideaulakes.ca. The Rideau Lakes’ PITCH- IN initiative runs from April 16 to 29.
Please place only roadside litter in the bags and leave them for your regular garbage pick-up. No tags are required.
This is a great opportunity for families to enjoy a memorable time together. What can be better than spending time with your grandchildren or children working together to keep our environment clean?
