Before we celebrate ILGCA's third birthday, let's start the day by giving back to the community!
Join us at Robert T. Jackson Clearwater Park for a one-hour Cache In Trash Out event before heading over to ILGCA Birthday Bash 3.0! (GCBH6M3) later in the morning.
We will meet at 8:30 AM and spend the next hour cleaning up litter around the park. Come for the entire hour or help for as much time as you are able.
What should I bring?
If you have your own gloves, grabbers, or other cleanup supplies, feel free to bring them.
Don't have supplies or forgot yours? No problem! I will have cleanup supplies available for anyone who needs them.
Please dress appropriately for the weather and terrain.
After the CITO...
Once we've helped make the park a little cleaner, you'll have plenty of time to grab some breakfast, find a few caches, or head over to Arlington Heights for the main event!
