Truckee Day
Truckee Days Saturday June 7, 2008 Truckee Day
is a group of volunteers (Champions) who are coordinating a town-wide
street clean up day. Who:
Truckee Council Members and Truckee resident Beth Ingalls are coordinating
the event. Representatives
from the various homeowners associations, the Town of Truckee, the Truckee
Fire Protection District, the Truckee Donner Chamber of Commerce, the
Truckee Donner recreation and Park District and others are all
participating in the planning. Who else: Recruitment is underway for a number
of neighborhood “Champions” who will act as the local coordinators
on the day of the event. The
most important element of this day will be the actual volunteers who come
out to pick up trash, and we’re planning for 900 volunteers.
Children will be discouraged from street-side pick-up; however,
there may be options for children to pick up trash in the local parks.

and is an annual event.
Trash pick up will commence in the morning and a block party will be held
that evening. Where: Every neighborhood will be represented
by a number of “Champions” who will serve as the local coordinators on the
day of the event. The desire
is to clean the roadside of every road in town; however, volunteer numbers
will dictate the streets to be cleaned.
It is anticipated that the roads will be cleaned in order of use;
that is, the primary roads will be the priority, then the secondary roads,
then the tertiary roads, and so on. How:
The event will be coordinated with neighborhood headquarters.
In some neighborhoods that will be the local Fire Station; in other
neighborhoods it will be the home or office of a Champion.
Bags and instructions will be provided to volunteers the morning of
the pick-up. The bags will be
picked up and placed centrally so our garbage contractor can easily pick
them up the same day. Why?: To pick up roadside garbage and display
our civic pride. To come
together as a community and have fun while doing something worthwhile.
To have fun during the Town-wide Block Party to be held at Regional
Park that evening. For more information please contact Beth Ingalls updated: 05/24/2008 |
