 Dear City of Clearwater, Florida,
Despite the heat of the Florida summer, city of Clearwater Parks and Recreation volunteers have been continuing to contribute their time and efforts to keep our city bright and beautiful. This summer has been full of beautification projects, from invasive plant removals to litter cleanups to sticker-and-graffiti removals, and more.
Volunteers have been showing up to these projects with gloves, lots of water and big smiles. Thank you for everything you do!
