Community Service: River Clean-up
Community service activities can prove to be well-anticipated and well-attended events. They can range from a variety of tasks and activities such as crime watch, community gardening, garbage clean-up, visiting the elderly and the sick and local resource management. One ideal community activity is river clean-ups. If several cities or a specific region is serviced by a river, it is all the more important that regular attention is brought to the maintenance and cleanliness of these rivers. These events are usually sponsored by a multi-factional team of government, a commercial corporation, environmental organization and the local community. Marketing and promoting these events can be challenging on a large scale but small promotional materials can be effective tools. Examples of these materials include:
• Canvas Prints-Canvas printing is a large format but inexpensive medium to promote community service activities. They can be hung anywhere and can deliver the message directly.

• Posters-Posters are easier to transport and put up. They can be posted in schools, community centers, bookstores, food shops, and the city hall. Posters can be distributed around college campuses which can be used by college organizations as part of their annual community service projects. Posters can also be printed with online digital printers for minimum copies or offset printers for bulk orders at discounted prices.
• Booklets- Booklets can be helpful materials as they can feature detailed information and images about the project including proceed, a history, community benefits of the river, profile sponsors, program of activities, list of prizes and giveaways if any.
