Saturday, May 1 has been proclaimed by Marion Mayor Rodney Berry and the City Council members as Marion's City-Wide Clean-Up Day.
The city's Tree Committee is helping to organize and get the event going.
According to the proclamation, City of Marion citizens understand the rewards of cleanliness and beautification efforts and understand that a cleaner city helps to maintain property values, enhances economic vitality of business areas, brings community groups together and adds to the overall charm and beauty of the community.
The City wide Clean-Up Day will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Withlacoochee Park.
Other churches and groups are encouraged to also form their own neighborhood clean-up groups, leaving their bagged trash for the city to pick up on its regular routes.
The event should be over before noon, organizers said.
For information, call City Administrator Bob Anderson at 423-5961.
