Traffic Island Beautification Program
The Town of Sandwich's annual Traffic Island Beautification Program has locations available for sponsorship. This public/private partnership has a positive impact on improving the aesthetics of Sandwich roads and provides sponsor exposure.
Special thanks to volunteer Kaethe Maguire for coordinating this program since 2005. Kaethe put a tremendous effort into getting this program up and running and overseeing it's sponsors since its inception. We welcome our new coordinator, Rich Lonstein, who will now manage this program. Please email Rich if you are interested in sponsoring an island.
