Please Recycle
Many opportunities exist to assist KMB better serve our community.
At various times different items are needed, but the most precious commodity
needed is your time. Keep an eye on our event calendar for your chance to make a
difference or attend one of our monthly meetings.
Being "green" starts with leaving as small a footprint as possible on
our environment. Please pitch in by taking advantage of the recycling center at
the City Yard on 9th St. J
Keep Muenster Beautiful
...is dedicated to the cleanup and beautification of Muenster. None
of this would be possible without the fantastic efforts of the volunteers in our
community.

Keep Muenster Beautiful Claims 2012 Governor's Community
Achievement Award
The Governor's Community Achievement Awards are presented each year
to an array of Texas communities with the best grassroots environmental programs
in the state. Communities are judged based on their population size, which
is derived from population estimates from the 2010 Census. The efforts of
these communities to involve citizens, businesses, schools, local government and
youth to keep their city, county or region beautiful will earn 10 of them a
share of $2 million in landscaping monies from Texas Department of
Transportation. These prizes are designated for landscaping projects along
local state rights-of-way.
Keep Muenster Beautiful competes in the
Category 1 classification of Keep Texas Beautiful which consists of all Texas
communities with a population of 3,000 or less.
This marks the
sixth time (1986, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008 & now 2012) KMB has won this
prestigious award. The prize of $90,000 will fund further beautification
projects in our community. KMB has also won the Sustained Excellence Award nine
times (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2011). These
awards also have brought honorable State recognition to Muenster.
CONGRATULATIONS to all who volunteered and played an important
role in our success! Without your time and hard work this achievement would not
have been possible.
Spring Clean Up
On Saturday, April 14th we will be meeting at the
KMB Haus at 9am for pictures, supplies, and assignments. Afterwards we will head
out to beautify the city. Don't forget to wear your "work clothes" and
remember... a nice pair of gloves will come in handy today.
In addition,
Muenster State Bank has been kind enough to furnish lunch for all participants.
Hats off to those fine folks as well...
