Renewing the Anacostia River

Retired Gen. Colin Powell, in conjunction with the presidential inaugural committee, today unveiled a program -- dubbed "Renew America Together" -- to spark a national wave of community service.
One planned event touted on the site is a project to "Renew the Anacostia" scheduled for 1/19 and sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the No Child Left Inside Coalition. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and former Sen. Paul Sarbanes are expected to attend. Students will clean up trash along the river and plant trees.
