On Saturday, April 20, the Riga Recreation Department, in conjunction with Monroe County Parks, held its 12th annual Earth Day celebration by cleaning up Churchville Park from winter debris and last year’s trash. There was also a pharmaceutical waste collection.
Fifty community residents turned out to donate their time for this event and help plant over 250 seedlings!
Thanks go out to the following individuals and organizations that came together to support this effort: the Village of Churchville, the Town of Riga, Monroe County Sheriff’s Department, Monroe County Parks Department, The Harvey C. Noone Post #945 Auxiliary, Boy Scouts, Waste Management, the Churchville Lions & LEO clubs, and Churchville-Chili students for Community Service; additionally, Doug Eisele and “Zack” from the Churchville Parks Department.
When the event was finished, the Churchville Lions Club and the Riga Recreation Department provided pizza and snacks for all participants.
