    Dear Mayors of Arizona & America,

    “Many hands with one goal to restore the true beauty to America the Beautiful.”

    As America’s mayors, you have the opportunity to participate in an effort of significance by annually supporting and recognizing your local state, county and city Adopt-A-Highway groups by enacting the following measures.

    For the past seven years Folksville USA and “America the Beautiful & BagReadyJobs has been trying to convince the mayors of Arizona, Northern Arizona (Camp Verde, Chino Valley, Clarkdale, Cottonwood, Jerome, Prescott, Prescott Valley Sedona and Show Low) and across nation that the image and economy of their communities and America would be enhanced if they would take the following steps and say “Thank you to those that pick up highway litter”:

    1) To encourage your community residents, businesses, youth groups, etc. to participate in four equally spaced and repeating litter recovery events on the third Saturday of February, May, August and November. This effort could result in attracting visitors and participants to see what happens when communities and residents work together on a common goal.

    2) To invite all of your city, county and state Adopt-A-Highway groups to your town-city council meetings at the end of each year and recognize each of these groups by providing them with a certificate for their individual group efforts based on the frequency of their litter recovery efforts per year (Gold 4X, Silver 3X, Bronze 2X and Lead 1X).

    3) To encourage your community businesses to support your youth groups by using the “America the Beautiful & BagReadyJobs” opportunity to earn their funding or perform a community service requirement. Your youth groups will work directly with your local Adopt-A-Highway groups and under their direct supervision to earn their funding or perform their community service by picking up highway litter. In Northern Arizona the Cottonwood Boys & Girls Club, Cottonwood LDS Boy Scout Troop, American Heritage Academy, Verde Valley School and Sedona AZ Footy Soccer have participated in this program. Two of these groups have earned approximately $2,000 per year by picking up litter four times per year.

    4) To encourage the members of your town councils to either participate in one or all of the scheduled Adopt-A-Highway events and/or adopt one of the one-mile Adopt-A-highway sections. America’s mayors, will you lead from the front?

    America’s mayors, there is great value in saying “thank you” to each and every Adopt-A-Highway group in your community newspapers and at your council meetings for what they do to make your community more appealing to your residents, visitors, new businesses that form an opinion of your community as they travel the highways that pass through your community.
