Chairman River Clean-up

Despite heavy rains earlier, approximately 25 boats participated in the cleanup on Sat, May 12. A commercial size dumpster full of trash was collected.

Rick Gardner (white shirt and cap) won the prize, a "Ski San Bernard" sun visor, for the oddest trash collected from the river – a magic 8 Ball that answers life's questions, only this one was waterlogged and just looked blank. Rick also found a nest of freshly hatched field mice that he smartly did not bring to lunch that would have caused a hasty exit of the women from the building.

Ana Pogue, one of the F.O.R. Board of Directors, and Peggy Davidson (Logo Committee member), volunteered to stay & clean the F.O.R. Community Center following the post-River Clean Up hot dog social. They did a great job. When they left, very tired, the community center was ready for the next event. Thank you very much.
