Two Adopt-A-Highway Groups Tie For Adopt-A-Highway Group Of The Quarter

For Period April - June 2009

Dover -- The Delaware Department of Transportation's (DelDOT) Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) Program announces that two groups have tied for the Adopt-A-Highway Group of the Quarter distinction for the period of April through June 2009. The groups are the Delaware City Lions Club and the Middletown-Odessa Rotary Club. Both groups collected 42 bags of litter in their respective communities.

Delaware City Lions Club, which joined in 1998, recently had 15 members on hand to clean Cox Neck Road from Route 13 to the Delaware City limits. Likewise, the Middletown-Odessa Rotary Club, which joined in 1997, had 13 members come together to clean Marl Pit Road and Armstrong Corner Road. These two long-serving organizations are setting a great example for other such service groups across our state.

Being designated as the Group of the Quarter has its privileges. Not only does it make Delaware's roadsides cleaner, safer and healthier for everyone, the groups receive public recognition. DelDOT posts a special "thank you" sign under their existing AAH sign, they are featured on DelDOT's Web site (www.deldot.gov), they receive an award certificate and their hometown newspaper is informed of their service in the community.

DelDOT congratulates Delaware City Lions Club and Middletown-Odessa Rotary Club on earning the title of AAH Group of the Quarter.
