Although this year's community clean-up Sept. 10 was two months later than usual, it was another success because of dozens of volunteers. They contributed time and energy, some anonymously. We express a big thank you to all.
We filled seven roll-off large metal outdoor trash containers, besides recycling approximately 100 pounds of aluminum, 80 gallons of paint and 30 used tires.
First and foremost, I want to thank Councilman Tom Quirk, (and staff members) Pete Kriscumas and Kathy Engers, who not only returned us to Baltimore County's community clean-up program, but came out and got dirty with the rest of us.
I also thank Al Nalley, Betty Cain, Harriet Pittman, Phil Schaefer, Frank Shiloh, Lloyd and Cathi Anderson and Telik Johnson.
Also, Angie Schroen, Norma Sachs, Marti Bors, Claudette Bennet, Maryellen Light and Sherri Fox.
Community service hours were earned by Christian Monteil, Roscoe Fox and Zachary Allewalt.
Our group expresses appreciation to Yvetta Bates, assistant principal at Riverview Elementary School; Helen Spamer from waste management and A2Z haulers.
Ron Whitehead, president
