How you can make a difference in your cummunity

One very present and lively way in Sandy, Utah, is to join in with Sandy Pride Day this May 14th. Some 700 volunteers will pitch in to weed and plant, paint, clean-up, and improve public and private properties in Sandy. You can check out the many projects needing volunteers on that day on the City’s website at sandycity.gov and click on Sandy Pride Day 2011. The day’s work will include Several Eagle Scout projects; and volunteers will put in a lawn and sprinkler system for one resident whose health prevents him doing the work; and will do landscaping and shed replacement for other neighbors in need.

Exchange Club in your city wherever you are in the U.S. is a service club focused on patriotism, child safety and youth awards, and community service. The Sandy Exchange Club has sponsored Sandy Pride Day with the city each spring since 1984 and has been awarded the National Exchange Club’s Community Service of the year award. Make a difference with Exchange! I am glad to be chair of the Sandy Pride Committee for this year.
