It’s almost time to once again Beautify Bonney Lake.

The seventh annual event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Sept. 18.

Anyone wanting to volunteer should plan to meet at the Bonney Lake Park and Ride about 8:30 a.m. to receive a free T-shirt and work assignment. Since 2004, the annual Beautify Bonney Lake event has produced thousands of volunteer hours for improvements in the city.

This year, 20 projects have been identified to keep up to 600 residents and neighbors busy for at least three hours.

Projects on this year’s list include:

• Clean up and landscape the entrance to Victor Falls Elementary;

• Clean up litter along the trails in the Demonstration Forest;

• Clean up and prepare the trail along Fennel Creek Trail; and much more.

Volunteers are welcome to join the group. Be sure to wear clothes appropriate for the weather, bring gloves and a favorite tool.

Shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, pruners and other garden tools are needed, but everyone should mark all their tools to get them back at the end of the morning.

Bins will also be available to collect donations of food for the food bank and clothing for Lions 4 Kids.

Refreshments will be served after the work party. For more information, visit www.beautifybonneylake.org.
