The Tusculum College Knoxville Area Alumni Network (KAAN) met on Saturday, Oct. 12, on Lovell Road to pick up trash between mile markers #2 and #4 on behalf of the Tennessee "Adopt-A-Highway" program. From left above are Beverly Lay (KAAN Secretary) '94 '96, Charlie Pullem '97, Karen Jones (KAAN president) '92 '94, George Darby '01, Phillip Kirkland '87, and Doreen Phillips '02. Several people along the route came out of their homes and thanked the group for their efforts to clean-up effort, and some expressed interest in helping the next time it is done.

KAAN members decided earlier this year to participate in the program, which involves the "adoption" of a section of road with a commitment for at least four roadside clean-ups a year. The section the KAAN members adopted is adjacent to Tusculum's new Knoxville Regional Center, which opened this summer. A date for the next cleanup, which will probably be next spring, has not yet been selected. For more information about the program, contact Sean Bride, director of alumni relations at Tusculum, at 1-800-729-0256, extension 7331, or email sbride@tusculum.edu.
