In honor of Mr. Joe Tindal the Waterbody Sweep will be
dedicated to him. Mr. Tindal treated my brother and I like his own
two sons. I love you Mr. Joe. Thanks for all the memories.
Get your boats and trash bags out on the water and cleanup the
trash and debris in your Waterbody such as Lake Marion, Lake
Moultrie, and The Santee River.
The Santee RIVERKEEPER® Alliance proudly announces the
2nd Annual Santee Riverkeeper Sweep. This sweep targets all
Waterbodys located in the Calhoun, Clarendon, Berkeley, Orangeburg,
and Sumter Counties. These Waterbodys include lakes, rivers,
streams, sloughs, ponds and any other Waterbody that requires some
rejuvenation. The sweep effort also includes any trash and debris
removal that have washed upon the shores.
Who: All Waterbody Lovers
What: Waterbody Sweep
When: May 22,
2010
Where: Any lake, river, stream, slough, canal, pond beach puddle
