ALTON - Pride Inc.'s Executive Director Brittany Spitler sent out a reminder today that the annual Fall City-Wide Clean-Up in Alton is just ahead on Saturday, Sept. 11, 202

Spitler said their group has been working in partnership with Sara McGibany, executive director of Alton Main Street, and she has helped to take over the Annual Spring and Fall City Wide Litter Clean-Up. Spitler is encouraging residents to sign up and take an area for the cleanup.

"We hope you can join in this important effort to clean up our streets and what a great day to show up and come together as a community as we remember all those we lost, 20 years ago, on September 11th, 2001," Spitler said. "The 9/11 Memorial is a kind reminder that life is indeed a gift that is precious. It is, therefore, our duty to appreciate life as it is and remember that we need to devote a part of our lives to helping and supporting one another. We have a duty to preserve September 11 and ensure that the world never forgets what happened on this day."
