On September 15, the Youth Council serving Fayette County had a "Clear the Path" volunteer clean up day. Teen Volunteers grabbed bags and gloves and started picking up garbage along Lake Peachtree and under the cart paths along the Lake and along Drake Field. Twenty-two trash bags were filled up by the end of the project. This first project is part of their new RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) initiative.

“All of our teen events and projects are open to all Fayette County Teens, and you don't have to be a member to participate", said Art Sivertsen Youth Coord. with Peachtree City Parks and Recreation Department.
