Calling All GCPS Educators and Administrators!

Have You Heard the News?

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote us BEST OF GWINNETT in the Charitable Organizations category for the SIXTH YEAR IN A ROW!

GC&B Out on the Town

Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful has been honored with a Governor's Circle Award! We were invited to take part in Keep Georgia Beautiful Day last month, and - while there - our Carmita and Schelly had an amazing time at the Capitol!

We were recognized during the House of Representatives session. Before our recognition, the representatives were asked to stand if they had a local KAB affiliate in their area, and then we were asked to stand. It was so inspiring to see the gratitude shown by the House of Representatives. Jeff Cown, Director of the Environmental Protection Division, and Christopher Nunn, Department of Consumer Affairs Commissioner, were there to thank us for all of our hard work and commitment to our local communities and the state of Georgia.

We got lots of great pics and had some meaningful conversations with State Representatives Farooq Mughal and Matt Reeves, and - even though she's a proud Auburn grad - our Executive Director Schelly Marlatt even posed with UGA's Hairy Dawg.

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day

A very special THANK YOU to the drivers of the 531 vehicles that took part in our Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Saturday and to the 60 volunteers who worked so hard to direct traffic and haul items from their cars to the appropriate stations! You all had a hand in keeping Gwinnett clean and beautiful!

We had a BLAST at the Gwinnett Science, Engineering, + Innovation Fair last month. Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful Executive Director Schelly Marlatt was honored to be a judge alongside our Board Chair, Donald Lee, and Board Member Jay Bassett.

GC&B team member Brenda McDaniel was also there, and we had several GC&B Board Member sightings, including Pam Ledbetter, Craig Roberts, and Jessica Holden. Speaking of sightings - Maggie the Cow was there, too! There were so many great projects, and we all loved speaking to these really creative, super-smart students. Way to go, kiddos! We're already looking forward to next year's Team STEM event!

Leap Into Litter Cleanup Day

On February 29 - Leap Day - Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, and some truly amazing volunteers from our Green Youth Advisory Council and local high schools converged on Gas South District's Preston C. Williams Gateway Park for our first ever Leap Into Litter Cleanup Day. We filled 17 bags of garbage and left the park much better than we found it!

Please Join Us in Welcoming Our New Board Chair and Chair-Elect!

Donald Lee of Gwinnett County Courts is our new Chairman of Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful's Board of Trustees, with Pam Ledbetter of Accent Creative Group serving in the role of Chair-Elect & Secretary! We thank you both for your service to our organization and community, and we can't wait to see the positive impact you two make with the rest of our dedicated board members!
