This morning, members of the Chesapeake Rotary Club and satellite Great Bridge Rotary Club rolled up their sleeves and joined forces to help clean up the Greenbrier area. Together, we collected hundreds of pounds of litter, helping make our community a cleaner, safer, and more beautiful place for everyone.

A special thank you to our partners at the Chesapeake Environmental Improvement Council (CEIC) for their leadership and commitment to environmental stewardship. Their continued efforts make projects like this possible.

👏 Shout-out to the Great Bridge Club for showing up strong and helping make this cleanup a success.

Community service is what Rotary is all about, and today's project was a great example of what we can accomplish when we work together.

Thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time and energy this morning. Small actions create big impacts, and together we're helping keep Chesapeake beautiful!
