1)  Saturday Dec 7  6-8? -- We'll be looking for volunteers to walk along the sides of the street along with/behind the last entry in the parade (the Santa float), carrying recycling containers and trash cans.  If you'd be interested in that, contact Keep Carbondale Beautiful. (If I don't get volunteers, I'll skip it, so I need to know.)
