Car clubs and roads go together like hummingbirds and air, like cactus and desert, like engines and oil, like, well, you get the idea. It makes sense for a car club to beautify our roads, doesn't it? Our club has a permit from the Pima County Adopt-a-Roadway program to clean Orange Grove between Oracle and 1st, in Tucson. Our road is only 3/4 mile long. Come and find out what the kids throw out the windows or what drops off people's cars -- you may go home with some new CDs or valuable car parts. We may even solve the mystery of why there is always just one sneaker by the side of the road instead of two.

We will gather at 0800 at Beyond Bread at the southwest corner of Ina and Oracle for coffee and refreshments, obligatory signing of release forms and a safety briefing prior to work commencing. The effort depending on participation will only take a couple of hours and is a very worthwhile undertaking and a fun time to socialize as we cleanup the area. Safety vests, bags, and water will be provided. The ADOT requires that boots or hard-soled shoes (no sandals) be worn. Comfortable clothes, gloves and hats are recommended.

To sign up, either fill in your name below and click the button, or Click HERE to contact Mark Fuller, Adopt-A-Roadway Chair. There will be extra vests if you spontaneously decide to come. The more that come to help, the better!

All participants must be at least 14 years old. The county provides trash bags and safety vests. Large objects, like lumber or tires, get dragged to the pile of filled trash bags. Hazardous objects, like car batteries or roadkill, are left where they are and reported to the county.
