Thanks to everyone who made it out to the adopt-a-stream event today.
Thanks also to Sheri and Matt for organizing the event. Over 20 people
participated, including a great showing of support from Enloe students
and staff.
Notable items found: rocking horse, Honda scouter, more than 7 car
tires, and exercise equipment.
I posted a few photos to our Facebook group.

Hey neighbors,
This is a friendly reminder about the Stream and Street Cleanup this
weekend. Many people in the area have commented about the trash and other
debris in the stream along Locke between North King Charles and Bertie. Now
is your chance to help clean it up! Come on out on Saturday April 28 from
10:00 to 2:00 to help with the Stream and Street cleanup on Locke Lane. This
effort is scheduled to coincide with the NCDOT 2012 Spring Litter Sweep
(April 14-28). We are also working with the Adopt-a-Stream program to obtain
materials and support for the cleanup effort. This is a great way to meet
some more of your neighbors and help make the neighborhood a better place.
There is also an opportunity to win cash prizes!! Pepsico in conjunction
with the Spring Litter Sweep is holding a contest to find the most
unusual litter. Cash prizes for the most unusual litter items go all the way
up to $250! What a great way to put some extra change in your pocket
while helping a good cause at the same time.
Where and when:
- Saturday April 28 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
- Meeting location will be at the corner of Bertie and Locke. Ask for Sheri.
What will be provided:
- Trash bags
- Safety vests
- Latex gloves
- Trash pickup
What you need to bring:
- Appropriate clothing, such as boots, hat, etc.
- Bug spray
- Sunscreen
- Work gloves. We may have a few extra pairs, but if you have some, please
bring them.
We welcome all participants, but if you're under 18, we'll need written
parental consent. Let me know if you need a consent form, and I'll email it
to you.
Many thanks to Sheri Cassidy for heading up this effort. Great work Sheri!
My apologies for the cross posts, but I'm trying to reach the broadest group
of folks in our area.
Kind regards,
Matt Leary
