SPRING CLEAN-UP

April 17-21, 2006 Teams of volunteers cleaned debris and raked a section of the beach so that the residents of Waveland can once again have a peaceful place to play and relax. Thousands of sunflower and Zinnia seeds were distributed and planted to beautify the landscape. Volunteers from many places, including a group of 65 from Acts: Disaster Response worked hard all week withThe Giving Circle, Inc.'s applicants in Waveland to help clear their yards of debris and take care of other rebuilding jobs. The Spring Clean-up was kicked off by a HUGE Festival and Easter Egg Hunt.
