BOLIVAR: Club 3000 is not conducting a door-to-door campaign, and any residents of southern Stark or northern Tuscarawas counties who encounter aggressive solicitors are encouraged to contact local sheriff's departments, the group said.

The advisory was issued on Tuesday by the Bolivar-based grass-roots environmental group.

Complaints have been received of people posing as Club 3000 members and seeking signatures and money to fight a proposed highway ramp off Interstate 77 near Countywide Landfill in Stark County's Pike Township, said club president Tom O'Dell.

The club is not conducting any campaign, and the club does not condone or endorse such tactics, he said.
