More than 1300 volunteers, including hundreds of Boy and Girl Scouts, turned out on September 29 for the Lake Lanier Association's 19th Annual Shore Sweep.  The volunteers collected 42 tons of trash and Styrofoam at 14 sites around Lake Lanier. 

The volunteers combed Lake Lanier's shoreline for five hours from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m.  The most Styrofoam was collected this year by a concerted effort in Dawson County.  Volunteers scouted out Styrofoam and other large objects on the shoreline in advance and organized groups to retrieve it and take it by boat to War Hill Park.   The association thanks all sponsors, donors and especially the volunteers for their dedication and efforts.
