Waynesville Pride Day-Arbor Day Set For April 17, 2010 The City of Waynesville and the Waynesville Park Board have announced that the date for the Annual Waynesville Pride/Arbor Day event will be April 17, 2010. This annual event, established in 2003, is a day dedicated to making Waynesville a better place to live by cleaning up public areas and neighborhoods, and recognizing the importance of trees for our quality of life. Pride Day-Arbor Day is designed to help improve the appearance of the city by designating a day that groups, organizations, neighborhoods, and individuals can participate in a city wide clean-up activity that concentrates on removing trash, litter, and other discarded items from public areas. Additionally, the Arbor Day observance provides opportunities to plant trees in parks and other locations to help replace those lost to old age, disease, or damage related to ice storms or floods. This years event will start at 8:00 am at the Roubidoux Park where participants will check in, be assigned to specific areas to clean up, and receive a brief safety orientation. Participants will go to their areas and begin the cleanup and other activities and will return to the park at about 11:30 am for a free hot dog roast, followed by an award ceremony. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the park and to and from their assigned areas. There will also be a collection point established at the Roubidoux Park for area community members to drop off neighborhood trash as well as electronic items they no longer need or want including computer components, small appliances, stereo systems, radios, DVD/CD players, and other small electronic items. There will be no charge for dropping these items off except for computer monitors for which a $10.00 drop off fee will be collected. SORRY, but NO TELEVISIONS OR LARGE APPLIANCES WILL BE ACCEPTED. This collection point will be open from 9:00 am to 11:30 am. Groups, organizations, neighborhoods, and individuals can drop off a registration form at the Waynesville City Hall, or can register by calling the Waynesville City Hall at 774-6171. To insure that your group or organization receives its participation award on the day of the event, register prior to noon on April 12, 2010. Information on tree planting is also available at City Hall. For additional information please contact City Hall at 573-774-6171.
