Green Up Keene Public Service Announcement We’re moving into spring here in New England. As it starts to warm up, the buds on the trees start to swell, flowers begin to poke out of the ground, and small furry creatures emerge blinking into the light. And as the piles of snow melt away, trash that has accumulated over the winter starts to come out of hiding from under the snow banks. Keene is a beautiful City but to keep it beautiful, it needs a little help. That’s why on Saturday, April 13th, we are having our annual Green Up Keene Day. Since 2008, every spring we have set aside a day when we ask our community to come out and come together with the common goal of cleaning up our City. Each year, employees from the City of Keene, local businesses, students and staff from local schools, and many other residents from all parts of the Keene community pick up trash bags, put on their gloves and help to pick up trash from our parks and neighborhoods. On Saturday, April 13, volunteers will be set up at Railroad Square from 8:00 a.m. until noon. If you would like to help us Green up Keene, please stop by and we will supply you with garbage bags and light refreshments. If you or your organization would like to adopt an area to clean up on Green up Keene Day or the week leading up to it, or if you would like more details about the event, contact Eric Swope of Keene Department of Public Works at 357-9836, ext. 6504 or at eswope@ci.keene.nh.us Help us Keep Keene beautiful. Join us on Saturday, April 13 to clean up and Green Up Keene.

 As one of Vision 2020’s first Organizational Champions, Elm City Rotary’s wellness journey has positively impacted our members and the larger community. Using the web-based America on the Move tracking tool club members have logged more than 110 million steps in 2 years and created club challenges to motivate more activity and connect the club’s charitable giving to meetings those step goals. The club has created a permanent wellness committee, chaired by Liz Coppola. Several club members have served on the Healthiest Community Advisory Board, Vision 2020 Champions Advisory Committee, or supported Vision 2020/HEAL worksite initiatives. And this year the club partnered with other Vision 2020 Organizational Champions, Advocates for Healthy Youth and MoCo Arts, to create the annual Kid’s DeMar Marathon that energized over 360 local school children from 15 area schools to run or walk 25 miles and then complete their marathon with a 1.2 mile run September 30, 2012 the DeMar marathon.

 At the Feb 9th meeting of the Elm City Rotary, the club was introduced to the winner of our Demar Marathon Logo contest and scholarship. Kevin Sherry, a KSC senior from Long Island NY was the ultimate winner of a $1,000 scholarship. The contest started back in October with collaboration from KSC faculty with the launch of the campus wide contest annoucement. 18 students submitted 28 different logo submissions for consideration. That group was narrowed to 4 finalists who were provided additional details of what we were looking for and each one of them submitted multiple options for us to choose from. Kevin's submission was chosen because of his ability to capture both the element of Clarence Demar as an iconic long distance athelete as well as the flavor of our community with the silouette of Mount Monadnock, rolling hills and winding rivers, all framed by the archway to KSC's Appian Way where the marathon finishes. We are very confident that this logo will allow us to effectively brand our event for many years to come, and be tied to an event that lives up to the high standards established by it's namesake. |
