The
clean-up crew in Green Hill Park consisted of Bill Bainter,
Betty England,
Anke Loberg, Hans Loberg, Kevin Kelleher,
George Kesler,
Dan Phlegar,
Ken Seagle,
Dick Taylor, Dick Vipperman, Jack Ward
and Barry Whitt.
We
started off at the picnic shelter with coffee by Vip and decaf by Hans and mini
muffins by Anke. The water flow was too high to get in the river, otherwise the
weather was nice except for the wind. The park was relatively clean so with the excellent turnout the clean-up was a breeze. TU’s bi-annual presence and the new Greenway may help discourage littering in the area.
