Over twenty-five volunteers showed their community pride by participating in the first Salem Spruce up. They met at city hall Saturday morning, May 11.
Spearing heading this community cleanup was Carlos Bravo and city councilman Roger Pennington. Bravo owns the El Caminos Mexican Restaurant.
They were joined by city council members Randy Lee, Dylan Moore and Steve Crane. These city council members bought the donuts and pickup reach grabber tools.
There were also T-shirts printed and donated by Linck’s Clothing and Shoes. Trash bags were provided by Ace Hardware of Salem.
The city was divided into four quadrants, and the volunteers were assigned to a quadrant. Maps with the area were provided.
As a reward for everyone's efforts, a taco bar was served by Carlos Bravo at 1 p.m..
