Mayor Joins
Volunteers to Cleanup Lake Ivanhoe Shoreline
As part of his
Strengthen Orlando plan, Mayor Dyer has
transitioned his series of work-alongs to focus
primarily on community service. On Tuesday, June
16, Mayor Dyer rolled up his sleeves with more
than 30 Keep Orlando Beautiful (KOB) and Florida
Hospital Church volunteers to clean the
shoreline of Lake Ivanhoe. Administered by the
City of Orlando's Streets and Stormwater
Division of the Public Works Department, KOB is
a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization engaged in
numerous community cleanup and beautification
events. Mayor Dyer and the volunteers collected
340 pounds of litter and debris in two hours.
Ethos Vegan
Kitchen also participated in the clean-up by
providing a free cookie to all registered
volunteers. Ethos is located at 1235 N. Orange
Ave. and is part of the Buy Local Orlando
program.
