The Kiwanis Club of Jacksonville has made a commitment to keep part of Downtown and some of the main entrance corridors to the urban core on the Southbank clean.
The club has joined the state’s “Adopt a Highway” partnership to maintain Prudential Drive and parts of Hendricks and Kings avenues. Several times each year, club members will walk the streets picking up litter and disposing of the debris.
Shown in the photo are club members Linda Haymond-Bock, Tom Stephens, Matt Price, Martin Atkinson, Jim Banks, Jimmy Richardson, Steve Arrington, Mike Collins, Bob Ivey and Forrest Guthrie, who kicked off the new service program on Prudential Drive.
“We may not be able to stop folks from littering, but we can help keep it picked up for the benefit of all Downtown,” said club President Tom Stephens.
The Kiwanis Club of Jacksonville meets at 12:30 p.m. every Monday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. For more information, visit www.kiwanisjax.com or call 363-8905.
