Individual volunteers or team leads are asked to visit the Beautification Committee tent at the Tewksbury Country Club parking lot to receive bags, gloves, safety vests and cones for collecting trash during the event.

Each team will receive a contact card to call or text for their trash and supplies to be picked up when they are finished.

Any amount of time is appreciated and clean up will continue throughout the five hour event.

This is an ideal opportunity to earn Community Service hours, and there is a free raffle for donated prizes from local merchants.
