Barb W. via NextDoor App: Dear neighbors, I am looking for people who like to walk or are getting in shape and who care about keeping Eagan clean. I’m starting a club. I’m calling it “Get Lean and Clean Walking Group.” Here’s how I’m thinking this will work. I’ve created a FB page where I will post outing times and routes. Unless the weather is bad or I’m sick. I will try to regularly go out for a 4-5 mile walk on Tuesday mornings and Sunday afternoons armed with garbage bags, garden gloves and a grabber.
Shelly D. — Awesome! I would love to join you. I do the same thing — I carry a bag when I walk. I’m not on FB so will you have options for those who don’t use FB?
Noreen M. — I would like to join you some Sundays. My husband and I always do a clean the neighborhood in our own town home development every May. Let me know your meeting place.
Gari P. — I’m interested in joining you. Great idea!
Mary P. — Barb, what a wonderful idea! I am so on board with your commitment to keeping Eagan clean. I also pick up trash when I walk. Just went a note to join your group!
Crystal O. — I’m interested in joining this as well. What a wonderful idea!
