Shivali Pate, North Carolina Jr. Teen Queen works for the Town of Cary’s Spruce Program. She also volunteered for two different projects with the town. At Kids Together Park, she helped haul the materials for and resurface a playground for special needs and handicapped children. This included shoveling the mulch-like material, transporting it in wheel barrows, then dumping and spreading the material to resurface the assigned areas. Also for our Town-wide Fall Litter Sweep, she helped organize and lead a litter sweep at her school campus of Athens Drive High School. This included advertising the event, organizing 14 volunteers, picking up the supplies, managing the safety and productivity of the sweep, picking up litter, and then reporting the results. She collected a total of 360 pounds of litter for proper disposal. In everything she has done she has been diligent and dedicated in her service and she is a pleasure to work with.
