Donner Summit Cleanup a Huge Success!!
The Donner Summit Area Association would like to thank everyone involved for working so hard to make this one of the best "Summit Clean Up Days" ever. Over sixty volunteers showed up to clean the roads and drainages all the way from Cisco Grove to Donner Lake , including Pla Vada and Serene Lakes!
DSAA would also like to thank Sugar Bowl, Royal Gorge, Donner Summit Public Utilities District, Sierra Lakes Water District, and Serene Lakes Property Owners Association, for donating dumpsters; Sugar Bowl for use of their picnic area; and Maria and Scott at Summit Restaurant for preparing a great barbecue for the volunteers.
Also, a special thank you to Placer County Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery for helping coordinate this event the past twenty years.
