Once a month this group volunteers on the third Saturday to do a Pride of Etna Cleanup campaign. They meet at the Municipal Building at 9:45 a.m. and spend an hour picking up litter and pulling weeds out of the curb line throughout the community! One hour – and there’s coffee and donuts – compliments of the Mayor!!! It is a fun way to get your Saturday morning started – with plenty of time left for your own personal needs!! Please consider coming down some Saturday morning and giving us a hand! The sense of pride is a good way to get your weekend going!!
