Community Clean-up

April 20, 2007 was the annual Earth Day. People accross the country, and even the people accross the world dedicate their time to volunteer helping the earth. Nixyaawii's staff, and students helped with the 'Community Clean-Up'. Umatilla Housing Authority set up a tent, and a Pepsi stand, at the July grounds, for volunteers to check-in, and pick up a big yellow trash bag. You could find Tribal members and their big yellow trash bags from Wetlands Park, up to Tutuilla Flatts, doing their duty to help the earth. A free lunch was offered to volunteers, who picked up enough to fill up a large dumpster, not only with trash, but old tables, chairs, and even a sofa.
