By
Pamela A. Keene
 More
than 1,000 volunteers are expected to participate in the Lake Lanier
Associations 22nd Annual Shore Sweep on Saturday, Sept. 25, at 13
locations around the Lake Lanier.
Our
volunteers continue to amaze us with their support of this annual
event, said Jackie Joseph, president of the Lake Lanier
Association. This is one of our biggest and longest-running events,
and its a real service to the lake.
The
event will take place from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m., and volunteers may
pick up trash bags to collect trash from the shoreline at the
following locations on the lake:
Hall County - Aqualand Marina, Clarks Bridge Park, Gainesville
Marina, Holiday Marina, Lake Lanier Islands, Lazy Days Marina,
Starboard Cove Marina and Sunrise Cove Marina;
Dawson County - War Hill Park;
Forsyth County - Bald Ridge Marina, Habersham Marina and Port Royale
Marina;
Gwinnett County - Lanier Harbor Marina. Trash may be taken to these
locations with the exception of Lake Lanier Islands where volunteers
may enter at no charge through the main gate to collect trash.
In
return for a full bag of trash, volunteers will receive a free Shore
Sweep T-shirt and an invitation to the Shore Sweep volunteer
appreciation party which will take place at Van Pugh Park North in
Flowery Branch after Shore Sweep from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.
The
Lake Lanier Association is a non-profit organization whose members
are organizing the 22nd Annual Shore Sweep.
