Lafayette lawyers and staff from Hunsucker Goodstein & Nelson PC will be ditching pinstripes in favor of something stylish, yet washable, for "beautification" during the Second Annual Earth Day Lunch Hour Cleanup Friday, April 20 at the Reservoir. Volunteers from the Lafayette Chamber Green Committee along with members of the public are encouraged to pitch in picking up trash; bags, gloves and vests will be provided for all volunteers. Adventurous trash seekers are invited to scour the shoreline in paddleboats provided courtesy of EBMUD.
"It's a great way to contribute to the community," says Marie Montoya, paralegal, PR and marketing specialist for the firm. "We plan to meet at the Visitor's Center at noon, get equipment and branch out from there. It was really fun last year." She explains that the Reservoir is short staffed, so completing some of the clean up gives workers the opportunity to focus on other projects. The event officially runs until 2 p.m. Someone will be at the paid entrance to allow helpers complimentary access and to direct drivers through to the Visitors Center. Sunshine, paddle boats, making the Reservoir a better place for all to enjoy and doing something positive for Earth Day - you can't beat that with a litter pick-up stick.
Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes and look for the annual membership gate; cars will be let in at noon free of charge. Volunteers are asked to confirm with Marie Montoya at mmontoya@hgnlaw.com or by calling (925) 299-5113.
