We
Adopt a Highway!
The
Lake Group has signed up to keep a 2-mile stretch
of Highway 29 north of Lakeport free of litter. Participation
in this activity -- which is useful, good exercise,
fun, and great publicity for the Sierra Club -- is
open to all volunteers over the age of 16, members
and non-members alike. If you want to help out, either
regularly or occasionally or only once, please call
Lars at 279 4949 or send an email to larscrail@mchsi.com
