So great to see Toni and Bill getting recognition for all their incredible work keeping Key West beautiful! Great job!

After the final classroom session of Class 37 of the Ambassadors Academy, City Manager Patti McLauchlin awarded class members Bill and Toni Crowley with Extra Mile Challenge Coins.
The couple has made outstanding volunteer efforts in the City’s push to keep Key West beautiful.
They participate in the Early Bird plogging events on Fridays. They were part of Commissioner Mary Lou Hoover’s team during National Cleanup Day last weekend. They will be the captains of a team participating in the September 24th cleanup organized by Coast Love.
They’ve even adopted a spot for cleanup at the VFW in partnership with the Southernmost Coconuts Castaways.
Many Ambassador Academy alumni invest their time in the regular cleanups held around the island, and the City appreciates their dedication.

Nearly 100 Volunteers picked up close to 1,000 lbs. of trash and 6 gallons of cigarette butts off our island at our event this past Saturday! We had a great picnic at Bayview after then donated the leftover food items to our friends at Cooking With Love.

Thank you to everyone who helped plan and especially to those who showed up to help keep our island beautiful!

Thank you to the 95 amazing volunteers who turned out Saturday morning for National Cleanup Day! Four teams joined forces with Mayor Teri Johnston and Commissioners Mary Lou Hoover, Gregory Davila and Clayton Lopez. Together they collected a total of 887 pounds of trash and recycling as well as close to 6 gallons of cigarette butts -- all in the matter of two hours!

Join us next Saturday the 17th for National CleanUp Day! We are meeting at 4 different locations around the City then convening for a community picnic after. More info here: https://bit.ly/KWCleanUp2022

Mayor Teri Johnston and the City Commissioners have proclaimed September 17th as National Cleanup Day.
“National Cleanup Day recognizes the need to protect the health and beauty of our city as well as our nation,” reads the proclamation. “The City of Key West takes great pride in its environment and supports a clean, safe community, now and in the future.”
The cleanup joins together the community, the City, and non-profit organizations for a cleaner environment, which promotes positive community values, property values, and the economic vitality of Key West and the Florida Keys.
Julie Brown, a member of the Mayor’s Beautification Committee, accepted the proclamation. She noted that there will be several locations around the island where groups can gather at 9 a.m. to help keep Key West beautiful. The cleanup will be followed by a picnic, she said.
“It’s a good way to get to know your neighbors,” she said. “Please join us on that day.
