Individuals and organizations are invited to participate in the clean up effort!  We will be divided into teams and pick-up trash and debris along Okolona streets.

This will be a great fundraising opportunity!
The 501c3 organization with the most volunteers will be awarded 1st place ($750.00), 2nd place ($500.00), & 3rd place ($300.00) prizes.  Groups wishing to compete for the prizes must be at Southern by 9:30 am on May 20 to register (all members of the group must sign in).

Please join Councilwoman Flood at noon for a cookout-picnic at Southern High School to celebrate our efforts to “Keep Okolona Clean”.  For more information, call 574-1124

Special thanks to  Metro Louisville Brightside, Waste Management on the Outer Loop for the use of the landfill; MSD for picking up the roadside litter; State Highway Department, District 5 for street sweeper; and numerous other Okolona businesses that are helping.
