Viva Cuba Needs Your Help for the 26th Annual Trash Bash

and for Keeping Cuba and our Neighborhoods Clean in 2010

Saturday, May 1          8:00 am

Gather at the Viva Cuba Garden for safety vests and trash bags.

Grab a bag, get your group organized and help us create a cleaner Cuba in 2010. If your group needs to work at a different time,  let us know what you are doing and where.

We want your photo too.

Fill out the registration form below and return it to Kim Baldwin,  Peoples Bank, PO Box H, Cuba, MO 65453. That way we know who is working where.

Inquire about the Adopt-a-Street Program

Organizations we need your help: Get your group together and choose an area to pickup trash. Many areas in town need attention:  Oakhill Road, East Washington, West Washington to Kinder Cemetery, Mapleshade Road, Fleenor Road, and others. If your organization has a building, pickup around all sides of your building.

Churches we need your help: Get your church group together and pickup the streets around your church.

Residents and families:  Organize your neighborhood or family and pickup trash around where you live.

Businesses we need your help:  Organize a workplace team and pick up on all side of  your businesses or buildings.

Schools we need your help: Educate the young people to the problems of litter. MoDOT has some excellent handouts on their website under their NO MO Trash program. Ask MoDOT to send a speaker to address your students. Make the anti-litter program a priority in 2010.

City of Cuba we need your help: Pick up some of the larger litter around town, such as the tires and furniture on Mapleshade Road.

Keeping Cuba Clean in 2010 is not a one-day event. We would like for your groups to make it a priority in 2010. We welcome your ideas and participation. Call Kim Baldwin 885-2511 with questions.

Photos Needed

Photos requested for use on Viva Cuba’s blog and the newspaper.  Take a good, in-focus photo of your group with full trash bags. Hold a sign with the name of the group or wear your group shirts if you want. Send the photos to Viva Cuba at photos@cubamomurals.com. Put the name of your group and where you picked up trash in the subject line. We will be publishing these photos.  We will not identify individuals in the photos, only group names.
