Veterans Coordinate Community Clean Up Day, April 15

City of Coos Bay release – Veterans in the Coos Bay / North Bend area continue to give back and help their communities. Kevin Owens, a member of the Bay Area American Legion Post and a past District and National Commander as well as an American Legion National Executive Committeeman, shared with the City Council on March 15 that members of the American Legion, Forty and Eight, Elks Lodge, Sea Cadets, and the Boy Scouts are collaborating to spruce up areas of Coos Bay and North Bend. Bill Richardson of Les’ Sanitary Service/North Bend Sanitation has offered to support the clean up effort by donating garbage service for items collected. This event has been designated Coos Bay/North Bend Earth Day. Their goal is to make our community both clean and welcoming. Coos Bay Earth Day will be held on April 15, 2022 and clean up events will commence at 9 a.m. Volunteers will meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Coos Bay Elks Lodge, located at 265 Central Avenue. Anyone is welcome to help!
