Join the Cotuit-Santuit Civic Association

Help Clean-Up the Village

Meet at Lowell Park  SATURDAY MAY 15, 10am

 

Thank you for taking pride in your community

The Civic Association is going to hold its annual Village Clean-Up Day again this year. The event is set for Saturday, May 15, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. (May 22 will be a back-up date in the event of inclement weather.)
There has been a great response to this in prior years, as Villagers take a little time to help to clean our streets and byways. In consideration of the pandemic, we are adopting certain protocols this year to provide as safe an experience as possible. Participants will meet at Lowell Park at 10:00 a.m. and be given street assignments and further instructions. Trash bags, pick-up tools and gloves will be provided. 
If you would like to participate, please e-mail cotuitcivicassociation@gmail.com. Having advance indications of participants helps organize the pick-up areas efficiently. Details will be provided to all volunteers by e-mail prior to May 15.

Attention Boat Owners!!
