    M DOT Highway cleanup in Memory of Faith Grace Miles

    I was thinking of doing a awareness acitivity in memory of Faith for next year. In Michigan, the department of transportation has adopt a highway and its free to businesses, organizations,etc as long as their are 3 people to do the clean up work. In return for the work they put a sign up to advertise that your group cares for that stretch of highway. I wanted to raise awareness and get Faith's name along Interstate 131 in MI and CHERUBS.

    Just wanted to see what people thought about this. If Michigan members would be interested and what approval I need to get.

    Thanks a million!

    That sounds like a great idea!! We did that for our Beta Alpha Psi in College as an activity. It was a lot of hard work and sometimes gross, but our stretch of highway always looked a lot better afterwards. Maybe other people from MI will be able to help out in honor or memory of their cherubs too. Keep us posted on what you do.
