As most geocachers know, April is CITO (Cache In Trash Out) month. This year, April 19 and 20 have been designated as the International Cache In Trash Out event dates. If you are unsure what CITO is, see the
Groundspeak page.
CITO events are all about geocachers volunteering to clean up parks and other cache-friendly locations. It can be hard work but it is definitely a rewarding experience and a lot of fun to get together with fellow geocachers and work for a common and worthy purpose.
This year, NCGO has donated a substantial sum of merchandise and cash to the 7 events. The merchandise is for door prizes and other uses as the host of the event determines and the cash is to be used for supplies, food, beverage or other event specific purpose approved by NCGO.
So please plan to attend one or more of these events and give back a little for the enjoyment geocaching has given us all. Our collective efforts help not only the parks we work to clean, we help to build the public image of geocaching and geocachers as a responsible, environmentally conscious group of people who are willing to work to preserve the areas that we enjoy and play in.
NCGO thanks all of you who attend these events. We also send special thanks to the individuals who are hosting these events and all the people who are supporting them in their efforts. And finally, thanks to our Events Committee for helping to coordinate our CITO efforts this year!
