It is time once again to clean our Adopt a Highway mile.
Let's get a bunch of us out there to get our mile clean. This is a nice way to get to know some of the other members, as we stay together in a group as we go down the highway. Pizza at the end of our mile.
Meet at 9:45am at The Villages Community. This is the entrance to Quailwood golf course, on the north side of the highway, one mile west of Lefty's Restaurant.
We will have the group's banner out...
As a treat for helping, after we clean the mile, we will to go Guido's Pizza and we will have pizza for everyone.
I am counting on you guys... see you there! :) -Kevin
The Adopt a Highway Program provides a way for individuals, organizations, or businesses to help maintain sections of the roadside within the Arizona State Highway System.
Our group has taken on the responsibility of helping our community by participating in the Adopt-a-Highway program. We have been assigned a mile on Hwy 69 in Dewey.
At one end of the mile is the Quailwood golf course, at The Villages at Lynx Creek Community, and the other end of the mile is near Leff-T's Steakhouse and Guido's Pizza (near the Family Dollar store).
The mile is from milepost 282 to 283.
We will clean for about 60 minutes. Guidos opens at 11am.
No sandals or "flip-flops" (safety FIRST!)
ADOT provides safety training, trash bags, and two signs to be used at each end of their adopted section. I will pass along the safety information that I received. The main thing is to not walk out on the highway and get hit by a car.
We need to wear the safety vests. I will bring these. These have been provided by A.D.O.T.
We have bags and sticks with nails on the end to pick up the trash.
Children (13 and younger) and pets are NOT allowed at this event for safety reasons.

For our efforts, the group's name has been put on a sign at each end of the mile.
Mark this on your calendar and let's all meet up to participate in the Adopt-a-Highway program.
