The Eagle Pass Chamber of Commerce is seeking volunteers and local groups, teams, and organizations who would like to assist in this year's clean-up campaign to contact the Chamber. The event which will be held on October 6th from 8:00 A.M. to Noon, will be a grand clean-up effort which will happen in downtown Eagle Pass and will clean up streets, sidewalks, and public parks and at the same time, will give a more positive outlook on the appearance of our city to visitors, shoppers and tourists. Sandra Martinez said that this campaign has been held in previous years and has been very successful and has also united many volunteers including many students.
