"...I come here today...not just because you are doing well and because you are outstanding students, but because we expect something of you. And unless in this free country of ours we are able to demonstrate that we are able to make this society work and progress, unless we can hope that from you we are going to get back all of the talents which society has helped develop in you, then, quite obviously, all the hopes of all of us that freedom will not only endure but prevail, of course, will be disappointed. So we ask the best of you...I congratulate you on what you have done, and most of all I congratulate you on what you are going to do."

~ "Remarks in New York City to the National Convention of the Catholic Youth Organization (463)," November 15, 1963, Public Papers of the Presidents: John F. Kennedy, 1963.

Earth Day Clean Up
Saturday, May 31, 2014


Give back to Mother Nature for all she gave us this past season by volunteering to help clean up Wachusett!!

REGISTRATION - 8:30am to 10:30am

Registration is near the Customer Service Desk inside the lodge and runs until 10:30am. People arriving during this time will receive a free ticket & a BBQ coupon (after completion of their trash collection).

IMPORTANT:

If people arrive after 10:30am, they will not receive a free ticket! They may still pick up trash for a BBQ coupon.

Between 8:30am - 10:30am all registrants will receive a map, garbage bags, and plastic gloves. They will be sent off to a specific section of the mountain to collect trash.

To be eligible for the lift ticket, you must pick up trash for at least 2 hours.

CLEAN-UP HOURS - 8:30am to 1pm

While we ask everyone to register before 10:30am, clean-up will continue until 1pm.

BBQ - 11:00am-1:00pm

After you have turned in your trash, you will receive a bbq voucher and your lift ticket (if arriving before 10:30am). Your bbq voucher will get you a hamburger, cheeseburger or hot dog, chips and a soda/water.

OTHER INFO:

•Clean-up will go until 1pm
•There will be a trash drop off area near Ski Watch and the front of the main building.
•BBQ coupons will be given out starting at 10:30 am; BBQ scheduled for 11:00am
•Lift tickets will be given out after trash is collected – and before the BBQ.
•Each person will receive their lift ticket as long as they have turned in a bag of trash (or more) and this has been verified by Wachusett staff.


Lift Ticket Vouchers (early season, valid through 12/24/13) are only given to volunteers age 4 and up upon receipt of your full trash bag. This event will be weather permitting.

Earth Day Clean-up!
