Volunteer Spotlight

July 2009 - Mitchie Gale Jarin and CBMU 303 Volunteers

Volunteers from this Command deserve a big thank you for all of their hard work at the Chollas Community Cleanup and the San Diego River Cleanup in June. Volunteers at these events went above and beyond by providing enough elbow grease to remove thousands of pounds of debris from areas with especially large litter and illegal dumping problems. We hope to continue to see these hard working volunteers at future events!
