Cleanup Leaders Take a Bow

In appreciation for their dedication and leadership of powerful cleanup events throughout the county, RC Legislators Toney L. Earl and Aney Paul presented the 2021 Great American Cleanup (GAC) Community Cleanup leaders with the Distinguished Service Award of the County of Rockland.

As Legislator Earl stated: “I’m proud to honor the individuals who served as the 2021 Cleanup Leaders…Despite the challenges around safety and social distancing, these brave and committed individuals found new and innovative ways to carry out their mission of keeping Rockland beautiful and I want to say Thank You.”
