Several members of our club gathered at Mayor
Bob Leonard Park on Campbell
Station Road this afternoon. The agenda held
only one item, trash pick-up! Farragut Kiwanis “adopted” Watt Road
within the Town limits and gather several times a year to walk the road and
pick up trash. This afternoon was warm and pretty, making for a great
outing. Several bags of trash were collected and there were no injuries!
Even the “coolest guy in Knoxville”,
aka Rick Disharoon, worked up a
healthy sweat. Thanks to all who participated!
