Three area Optimist clubs — the Lewiston-Auburn, the Gray-New Gloucester and the Tri-Town (Mechanic Falls, Minot and Poland) — plan to celebrate Earth Day Friday, April 22, with a community service project.

The clubs seek volunteers to commit to a minimum of one hour of roadside trash pickup in their community or neighborhood. People can get family, friends, schoolmates or neighbors to help.

Those who participate can win a free meal at one of 10 local area restaurants.

An alternate date has been set for Saturday, April 23.

To register, contact any Optimist member, email gwmathews91@gmail.com, or leave a message at 207-504-4507 or 207-783-5269.
