The Bluffton Clean Up Facebook page reported a fantastic response to the invitation to pick up litter near the Buckeye Park in Bluffton. An April Clean Up invitation follows.

"Wow, what a turnout! The rain didn’t stop us.

"Thank you SO much to Girl Scout Troop #2011 and to the rest of these fine volunteers. We even had four citizens of Findlay come lend a hand. We were able to get three different areas in town thanks to the number of people that showed up. So if you see any of these faces today, tell them thanks for helping keep the community free of litter.
