How many CITO event have you attended and how many do you plan on attending in the next year?

I have only been to 2 CITO events but I think that they are great! Our family usually brings bags to collect trash when we're hiking anyway as keeping our earth clean is so important. We've also done mustard pulls with our 4H group, no icon for that unfortunately. Also, many years ago I started the tradition with my children that in the spring we go and clean up the playground that is close to our house. I really think it's great that so many geocachers that I've met have made CITO a priority and I would like to encourage this as much as possible.

I have attended 2 so far, the last 2 spring WGA Highway Cleanups. Being from the Northwoods, That is the closest one to me, I will for sure make the Spring WGA Highway clean up again, but the fall one usually conflicts with Fire Dept Training and has been out for the last 2 years.

I actually planned and conducted 4 CITO events. Please see GCT6CJ (2006), GC10DJ9 (2007), GC18QWE (2008) and GC1MGXY (2009). Quite honestly the reason we stopped hosting it was the decreasing decline in participation. The Waukesha Parks, Recreation and Forestry Dept gave us quite a list of parks we did not have enough help to cover them all.

Since that time, I attended, on behalf of the WGA, 2 CITO events.

As for how many do I plan to attend this next year, it all depends on where they are scheduled and when they are scheduled.

I have been to 3 CITO events, 1 in each of the past 3 years in Appleton.

As a BOD member, attending CITOs would be a priority and depending on where they are, I would try and make 2-3 a yr dependent on when and where they are.

I have attended 3 CITO's, helped my daughter host her first WGA CITO last year, and am planning on attending at least 3 this year.

I'll try to get to as many as I can, I like the stories of adventures and chit chat with the others a we pick up trash and there are also possiblities of finding a cache or two in the process.

Looks like I've been to 2 CITO's. I think that number should be increased. Don't exactly have a plan as to how many I'll do this year, but I'm always up for a good day of cleanup.

I have attended two CITO events and just missed one due to traffic. I have no plans for next year but will attend if I can as I enjoy meeting other cachers. Incidentally, I got started Geocaching doing a cleanup of hwy 14 as one of my fellow workers mentioned it to me after the cleanup.

I have only been to one CITO event since I started caching. I would like to host a CITO event in the future. I just have to work out the logistics first.
