Volunteer Stephen Land Cuba MO

Stephen Land works on sidewalk edging along Route 66.

While the Viva Cuba beautification organization has been encouraging individuals and organizations to join the Adopt-A-Street program and clean up the streets of Cuba, one volunteer took the initiative to adopt the historic district along Route 66 on his own. Stephen Land, a relatively new Cuba resident, felt the need to improve the historic district with a few tools and some hard work.

His efforts are chronicled in this week’s Cuba Free Press in the article  “Cleaning up your life, cleaning up the town.” Read the story of a motivated volunteer who felt the need to make a difference in our community.
