Good Morning!!! Keep Columbus Beautiful is cancelling this morning’s community clean up because of rain. The downpour has made it too muddy and unsafe for volunteers. We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and commitment to keeping Columbus beautiful, and we will reschedule the event as soon as the weather improves. Please stay tuned for updates on the new date, and in the meantime, consider adopting-a-block. Thank you for understanding!
