Adopt-a-Road
The Englewood Democratic Club (EDC) is rolling up its sleeves to keep Sarasota County beautiful—one cleanup at a time.
As part of the Adopt-A-Road program, EDC members hit Pine Street every quarter to take on litter and debris. During the Spring Cleanup on March 14 at 8:00 a.m., nine volunteers showed up ready to work, sporting bright yellow, can’t-miss T-shirts.
The result? A whopping 80 pounds of trash and 20 pounds of recycling cleared from the roadside. The most unexpected find: a discarded car headlight.
Want to make a visible difference in the community? EDC members are invited to join the next cleanup. Contact sponsor David Evans at drevans.217@gmail.com or 941-500-3063.
