Participating organizations are Pima Youth Partnership, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Ajo Rotary Club, Ajo Elks, Ajo Masonic Lodge, PPEP, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Ajo Lions Club, American Citizens Social Club, American Legion, and Ajo's RV parks. Each group has been assigned an area to beautify. Individuals are invited to join any group they like, to form their own groups and adopt an area of their own, or to clean up along Rasmussen and Well Roads. Can mural display. From 9 a.m. to noon groups will be picking up litter and trash and chopping weeds that are an eyesore.
Organizers caution that the idea is to bag trash and litter that is manageable.
Anything risking health and safety should be avoided. They urge participants to take hoes, shovels, and rakes to chop weeds growing from cracks in sidewalks and around street signs, and to wear gloves. Collection and counting of bags will be done between noon and 1 p.m. at Bud Walker Park. A collection truck is being provided by Malin Lewis Distributing. Between 1 and 3 p.m. is picnic time at Bud Walker Park.
