Hey cachers – do you want to be part of something as big as the State of Texas that promotes geocaching and gives back to our communities?  Well, mark your calendars and signup for the TXGA CITO Across Texas.

World Cleanup Day is held annually on the Third Saturday in September, volunteers in 180 countries will stand up against the global trash problem and clean up waste, making it the biggest positive civic action the world has seen.  This year, TXGA has decided to throw our cowboy hats and GPS devices in the ring and join the efforts. 

On Saturday, September 21^st at 10am – geocachers, friends and family will be hosting CITO events across Texas to pick up trash and help keep our geocaching game board clean. This event was the brainchild of Elisa Reynozo (georeyna) TXGA’s Southeast Texas Regional Representative. So, we have decided that the primary event is going to be in Houston (GCAR8NB – TXGA CITO Across Texas – Houston).  This page will have links to all of the other locations where we will be holding CITOs that are part of the TXGA CITO Across Texas initiative.  So far, we have 5 other events created and hope to add more in the coming weeks. 

Check out the link below to find the different locations across Texas to find an event near you!
