The Rotary club of Excelsior held its Spring Road Clean-up on Tuesday, May 18th under a beautiful blue sky and mild temperatures. The club has the one mile stretch between Christmas Lake Road and the Vine Hill intersection on Minnesota State Highway 7.

This year's team consisted of six members that met at MacDonald's in Excelsior to organize into team and then walk and clean the highway. Theresa Zerby was the project coordinator this year that set up the teams and supplied the "bright" vests to keep our club members visible and safe on the highway. Assistang Threresa in the effort were club members Art Johnson, Gary thompson, Jim Cada, Scott Dykhoff, and Karen and Steve Frazier.

Members commented that the highway seemed cleaner this year and as always they found an array of unique items mixed-in with the trash along the roadsides.

Zerby remarked, "This is a great service project for our club and we are going to get more of our members involved in this fun and easy way to serve our community and care for our environment at the same time."
