Volunteers Needed for Annual Menomonee River Clean-Up

Every year, volunteer residents gather along the Menomonee River to help clean up Falls' most picturesque waterway. 

And every year, volunteers find plenty of strange things in the river - like a dehumidifier in 2011. 

The event takes place at 8:15 a.m. on April 20. Volunteers will all meet at Rotary Park of of Fond du Lac Avenue in Menomonee Falls. The clean-up wraps up at noon. The Milwaukee Riverkeepers are sponsoring the event - as they do every year.
