ECEC donates to beautification project

The East Central Community College Environmental Club (ECEC) recently made a $1 10 donation to the living lands & Waters Restoration Fund. The fund, initiated by Chad Pregracke of East Moline, Illinois, was developed to clean up the Mississippi River and its shoreline. Since 1997, Pregracke and his crew have cleaned up over 900 miles of shoreline and collected over 400,000 pounds of trash. In 1999, the group started the Adopt-A-Mississippi River Mile program. ECEC members shown mailing the check include (seated in front from left) Carrie Massey of Decatur and Brandy Richardson of Forest; (kneeling from let) Samantha Taylor of l ouisville, Edgar Bradford of Forest, and Ernie Brown and Bridget Minor, both of little Rock; and (stand– ing, from left) Andria Harris of Walnut Grove, Nichole Collins of Noxapater, lucas Majure and Daniel Pearce, both of Decatur; and Malissa Bryant of Forest.
