Participate in 'Spring Clean-Up'
The Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce's Spring Clean-Up was a success this year, according to Director LaShaunda Holly The clubs/organizations and businesses that picked up litter on Saturday included over 100 participants that collected over 1,500 pounds of garbage. "I would like to thank the wonderful volunteers who took the time to pick up litter," said Holly. "Jackson is blessed with community-minded individuals and groups who are dedicated to improving our wonderful city." On April 21 volunteers were able to come by the chamber office and pick up trash bags, gloves, vests, coffee, orange juice and water. While there, they were treated to breakfast provided by McDonald's. Holly thanked everyone who participated in the event. The clubs, organizations and businesses that participated included Pine City Ambassadors (top photo), Interact, Wal-Mart, Jackson Women's League, Junior Garden Club, Girl Scouts Brownie Troop 26 and Girl Scouts Troop 401 (bottom left photo), Ezell's Contemporary Dance Theatre, Noel's Expressions, Jackson's Civitan Club, CCARC's People First, St. Union Missionary Baptist Church.

"Please remember that litter is a problem 365 days a year- a problem Jackson must combat if we are going to meet our potential of becoming a thriving community of commerce with small town charm," added Holly.
