Bonds <br /> Chairman <br /> Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> Route 1, Box 185-A <br /> Concord, North Carolina 28025 <br /> <br /> Dear Mr. Chairman: <br /> <br /> Just a note to remind you that our department has scheduled the week of <br /> September 11-17, 1982 for our fall "Clean Up Litter" campaign. Once again we <br /> need the help of your local civic clubs and organizations to make this <br /> cooperative effort successful. <br /> <br /> We are pleased that Governor Jim Hunt has designated tile first day of the <br /> campaign as "Youth Involvement Day." That day various youth groups across the <br /> state will be helping us pick up litter. By involving these young people, <br /> we're educating them on the litter problem and focusing their attention on <br /> litter costs which total approximately $2.2 million each year. <br /> <br /> During the "Clean Up Litter" campaign, we will provide at least three <br /> transportation litter pick-up crews in each county to work with your <br /> volunteers and workers on this combined effort. Our district offices <br /> throughout the state will supply large litter bags and pick-up service at <br /> designateo points along our state roads. Bumper stickers, posters and buttons <br /> will also be available. To obtain these materials and coordinate our <br /> activities, please contact: <br /> <br /> Mr. T. [. Patterson <br /> Box 6qO <br /> Albemarle, North Carolina 28001 <br /> Telephone: 704/982-0101 <br /> <br /> You may advise him of the locations you feel need particular attention. <br /> <br /> For your information, we are enclosing a list of those who participated in the <br /> "Clean Up Litter" campaign last spring. If groups from your area helped in <br /> the spring, we thank you for your support and hope you will join in our effort <br /> again this fall. For those areas not showing representation~ we hope to add <br /> your name to our next list~ If, by cbance, you note that a group which <br /> participated in our "Clean Up Litter" program does not appeal' on the list, <br /> please let us know. <br /> <br /> <br />
