“The Adopt-A-Spot program has been a tremendous success and we are proud of the participants’ efforts in keeping East Windsor litter-free. It’s is a great program in not only ensuring public areas of our community are well-maintained, but also has been a wonderful educational tool for teaching our young people social responsibility and community pride,” said Mayor Mironov.
“The Adopt-A-Spot program has involved hundreds of young people and, each year, continues to be a success, providing our next generation of residents an awareness of the value and satisfaction of giving back to their community, while helping to support the activities and service of these worthwhile youth groups,” said the mayor.
