Commissioner Ted Terry and DeKalb Sheriff Melody Maddox are also scheduled to join in the cleanup events.

“It’s important that we as neighbors and a community join together to show pride in where we live and work. I am thrilled to pull up my sleeves and help make a difference in our DeKalb,” Terry said in the release.
