Invites you to:
Rock River Sweep 2010
(A river clean-up)
Saturday, July 31, 2010
Coming to your community on the banks of the Rock River in Wisconsin and Illinois in 2010
The 1st annual Great Rock River Sweep is a Rock River clean-up to be conducted in each and every community along the river for its entire 285 miles reaching from Horicon, Wisconsin to Rock Island, Illinois simultaneously on one Saturday morning and you are invited to participate.
'Section Coordinators' Needed Now!
Organizations, groups, clubs, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to volunteer to fill the positions of 'Section Coordinator' in each community along the river. Larger communities will require multiple sub-sections and coordinators to head up each sub-section. Some of the duties of the section coordinator are as follows:
- Work closely with Rock River Sweep.org organizers to assure a uniform and successful clean-up.
- Acquire clean-up supplies and other support from local businesses, (T-shirts, gloves, flyers, etc).
- Work with your local media to recruit volunteers for clean-up day.
- Work with neighboring section coordinators to prevent overlapping of sections.
- Use the "Organizer's Handbook" (provided by Rock River Sweep.org) to assure a successful clean-up effort.
- Register your section of the Rock River Sweep with Rock River Sweep.org and with American Rivers.
- Recruit, assemble, and register volunteers on the clean-up day.
- Coordinate 'post-clean-up' recyclable-sort and trash disposal.
- Arrange for proper disposal of all material collected.
- Report clean-up results to Rock River Sweep.org organizers and American Rivers.
- Essentially as a 'Section Coordinator' you will be coordinating and conducting the clean-up in your local section, but you will be doing it as part of a much larger group.
