Kingwood To Do tagged interest

Travis McCormick, a longtime community volunteer with Kingwood Association Management, died shortly before the first Kleenwood Day in 2004. His widow, Ethel McCormick, said it was her husbandand#39;s idea to have a community-wide cleanup day. 

"Travis suggested the project at a Kingwood chamber meeting," said McCormick. "He thought we could get the Scouts, the Key Club, the National Honor Society and homeowners to come out one day a year to help clean up our area. Travis was able to do some organizational work in the beginning, she said. But it was Kingwood Chamber of Commerceand#39;s Sparky Nolan and Alspaughs Ace Hardware owner Rick Alspaugh who took it on and ran it for more than 10 years."

After a hiatus in the post-Harvey years, a group of volunteers, led by Humble Noon Lions Club, Kingwood Rotary Club and Keep Kingwood Green, has decided to start it again on Saturday March 20th of this year. Participants will meet at their neighborhood community pool at 8am to pick up trash in their village. They then work through their assigned area collecting items into trash bags where possible or moving them to assigned spots on the side of the road for later collection. The project is planning to supply a few trash grabbbers, gloves and heavy duty trash bags. 

The project is looking for volunteers to sign up as Village Captains to lead the effort in their village, and also to be members of their village team. They will meet once or twice before the event to be briefed on the rules and particularly safety recommendations. Sign up HERE.

All volunteers will meet at Town Center Park at noon to celebrate the project. Free hot dogs and sodas will be provided.
