Volunteer Schedule
Volunteers meet at the Institute office, on the 2nd floor of the Boating Center, 568 Bellevue Avenue, next to the parking lot, in Lakeside Park.
Go up the stairs at the end of the parking lot. If you see the duck pond, you have gone about 100 yards too far.
- Every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
- Every Saturday at 10:00 a.m.
We usually work for 2 - 3 hours or more. Gloves are provided.
Individuals can also work alone using one of the four "U-Clean-It" boxes around the Lake where you will find gloves, trash bags, barrels, nets, directions and sign in sheet.
The lock combination is 1-3-1-4. The boxes are located near:
- The Grand Avenue & Harrison intersection
- Between the Lake Chalet restaurant and the Cameron Stanford House along Lakeside Drive
- At the E. 18th St. and Lakeshore Drive dock
- By the columns structure, at the end of the Lake between Grand Avenue and Lakeshore Drive.
Reservations are not required for most events; just wear old clothes, meet us at the office, or work on your own. |
