Volunteers will meet at the parking lot at Yates Park, 1990 E Avon Rd, Rochester Hills, MI 48307 at 9 AM, and the event will run until 1 PM. MUCC will provide a free lunch to all registered volunteers at approximately 11:30 AM. Volunteers are asked to bring their own work gloves. Waders, trash grabbers, trash bags and all other necessary equipment will be provided.
