Connie Wiggins Speaks on "Our Pledge - Keep America Beautiful"

March 11, 2013, Lawrenceville – Connie Wiggins, CEO of Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful, spoke to the Philadelphia Winn Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution at Ashton Senior Living on March 10 in Lawrenceville.

Recycling was one of the topics she covered. She asked for a show of hands on how many women in the room recycle. Nearly all hands went up. Connie noted that being a good citizen and Patriot are qualities both the DAR and Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful share. It is our individual responsibility to keep the world clean. When we see trash, we pick it up, or, if we see litter more than we can handle, we call Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful. 

The annual “Great American Cleanup—Gwinnett Challenge,” hosted by Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful, began March 1 and ends May 31.  This year, Connie is asking Gwinnettians to sign a pledge to keep our world clean and beautiful. At the end of the Philadelphia Winn Chapter meeting, Daughters lined up to sign a banner with the pledge.
