Rockdale Earth Day is holding a fall clean-up day on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a free movie, Monkey Kingdom, following at The Kay.

Volunteers are asked to meet at the Rockdale Volunteer Fire Department.

“Come meet you neighbors and improve your community with clean-up and enhancement projects all around Rockdale,” said Rockdale Earth Day Chairman David Melton.

“Please bring your work gloves and if you have any tool like pruners, we could sure use them,” he added.

Disney’s synopsis of Monkey

Kingdom says “In South Asia, Maya the monkey and her son, Kip, struggle to survive within the competitive social hierarchy of the troop at Castle Rock. When neighboring monkeys take over their home, Maya’s whole troop is forced to relocate. She uses her ingenuity to lead the members of her extended family to untapped resources amid strange new creatures and unfamiliar surroundings. Ultimately, the entire troop must work together to reclaim Castle Rock, where Maya hopes her son will have a bright future.”
