Other

first-year accomplishments included funding a

Georgia Native Wildflower garden, presenting a

teacher training workshop, and assisting local

municipalities in updating their solid waste

management plans.

Board

chairman Caroline Price says that the group is

looking for a new executive director, as the

former one moved to Colorado in December. The

organization would also like to make that a

full-time position fairly soon.

The

next few months will be highlighted by a

membership drive, in which Keep Fayette Beautiful

will enlist the support of individuals,

businesses and governments. The group also is

looking to establish a member database, publish a

newsletter, develop a recycling center and

prioritize beautification projects throughout the

county.

The

outreach to local government is the first step,

already under way and slated to conclude next

week. "We are looking for county-wide

governmental support, both in spirit and

financially," said Price.

Outreach

to individuals and businesses will commence later

in the summer.
