If available, bring a pair of rubber boots or old gym shoes. Do not wear sandals. Wear long pants. Cleanup supplies such as bags, gloves, and litter tongs will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own personal cleanup supplies, equipment, rubber boots, or hip waders if desired. Depending on the weather, remember to wear sunscreen and/or bug spray. You may also want to bring a towel or plastic bag to cover the interior of your car should you get wet or muddy during the cleanup.

What's in it for me? In addition to the pride you'll feel after doing something good for the community, you'll also receive breakfast treats, beverages and a free T-shirt. 

All Xstream Cleanup volunteers  receive a StudioOne Pass for River Roots Live, which provides entry to the exclusive StudioOne Pass Viewing Area, which has its own beverage tent. Site Coordinators will pass out the StudioOne passes the day of the cleanup.  Those who attend River Roots Live will also receive a free souvenir while supplies last.

River Roots Live 2010 will be held in LeClaire Park this year in Downtown Davenport. For more information about River Roots Live visit www.riverrootslive.com.
