We had members of other Kiwanis Clubs as well as many of our youth service leadership program’s members present. Key Club members from Buena and Ventura High School and Foothill Kiwins were busy digging trash from the brush. K-Kids from Sheridan Way and Cabrillo Builder’s Club worked hard clearing weeds and dead brush around the Serra Cross. After filling a dumpster, several barrels, and trash bags the group enjoyed submarine sandwiches and cookies before leaving the area with a much needed face lift. The event was captured by a Ventura County Star photographer and pictures can be viewed by linking to the following address: http://www.vcstar.com/photos/galleries/2012/apr/21/granting-assistance/42542/ .
