The University of Alaska Southeast Alumni Association is sponsoring a work party to weed the Auke Bay roundabout, will you join us?

The group will meet from 10am to 2pm this Saturday, July 16th. UAS will provide tools, safety vests, traffic barriers, and drinks.

Bag sites are open from 8 am – 10 am. The bag site for Auke Bay is Squires Rest.

Litter Free provides bags, (yellow= trash, green = recycle aluminum, plastic, tin, NO GLASS!!!), plastic gloves, sign up sheets, wrist bands to allow entry to the Coastal Code picnic, and information on the cleanup.

The cleanup is for public property only – including streets, sidewalks, parks, trails, beaches, streams, etc. – no private properties in this event, thanks.

Many of you may not be on Facebook where this has been advertised so thought I would post to this group in case you have not heard by now. Please see the information below by the UAS Alumni Association. Some have reached out asking if they can help keep the garden in the round-about weeded. This is a good chance to do just that but ask about continued maintenance in this highly visible space.

Roll up your sleeves and help spruce up the Auke Bay Round-About with UAS Alumni & Friends on Saturday, July 21!

UAS Facilities will provide safety equipment, weeding and landscaping tools and Alumni & Friends will provide some light refreshments and snacks. Gardening or landscaping experience is not required. Get some fresh air and help beautify our community!

Meet UAS Facilities in the De Hart’s parking lot at 9am. Parking at UAS is free. Stay as long as you are able to, and if there is enough help, UAS Facilities plans to be there until 3pm.

If you are interested in volunteering, please RSVP to uas.alumni@alaska.edu or 796-6569 by Wednesday, July 18.
