Mayor Janice S. Mironov, and the East Windsor Clean Communities Committee celebrated the 2015 Adopt-a-Spot program with a recent wrap-up event.
Under the program, participating groups “adopt” one of the public properties identified by the committee and keep it clean during the year. A placard is erected on the site indicating that it has been “adopted by” with the name of the group.
The groups are expected to perform clean-up three times a month from April 1 through Nov.1.
The 2015 Adopt-A-Spot program participants included: Beth El Synagogue, Boy Scout Troop 59, Boy Scout Troop 5700, Brownie Troop 70215, Cub Scout Pack 53, Girl Scout Troop 70105, Girl Scout Troop 70773, Girl Scout Troop 70205 and 70111, Girl Scout Troop 70342, Daisy Troop 72350, East Windsor Police Athletic League, and the Casciano Family.
“The Adopt-A-Spot program has been a tremendous success and we are proud of the participants’ efforts in keeping East Windsor litter-free. It’s is a great program in not only ensuring public areas of our community are well-maintained, but also has been a wonderful educational tool for teaching our young people social responsibility and community pride,” said Mayor Mironov.
“The Adopt-A-Spot program has involved hundreds of young people and, each year, continues to be a success, providing our next generation of residents an awareness of the value and satisfaction of giving back to their community, while helping to support the activities and service of these worthwhile youth groups,” said the mayor.
