Leaving LaGrange Better Than We Found It, city litter pickup
The public is invited to join the City of LaGrange for its monthly litter clean-up event Saturday, July 20, 8:00-10:00 a.m. The group will meet Hollis Hand Elementary, 641 Country Club Road. We are proud to have our community partner for this event be Hollis Hand Elementary School.
