2024: Year of Cleanup Successes

The Rosedale Fun Litter Pickup Club achieved many wonderful milestones in 2024. We surpassed the 1000 bag threshold over eight years of monthly pickups, with a record 240 bags picked up in 2024 alone -- our biggest annual haul! 30 new members joined up, for a total of 80 neighbors who joined in one or more pickups. We hosted our annual holiday party with nearly 50 in attendance on December 6th; and held our second annual bike trip in August. Participation in the North Rosedale June Day parade for the second time was especially exhilarating with over 40 members marching in our brigade on a beautiful June morning. Our founder, Mary Madigan, was honored by the Detroit City Council Green Task Force with the District 1 Green Leadership award.

That's a wrap on Litter No More in '24! Many thanks to Rosa Coffee Shop for hosting up on Saturday mornings; and to REMS real estate for their generous free coffee sponsorship!!
