Highway Cleanup - April 26th. .... by Marv
We will meet at Mr. Pudders at 9:00AM. It only takes about an hour to cleanup our mile. Our mile is from Fuller St. to County Line Road. I have hard hats and safety vests that I will hand out to everyone. I will also have pickup sticks and trash bags. Bring your own gloves and I suggest you wear pants and shoes with a good tread. I made the mistake of wearing shorts and sneakers last time, it was a mistake. Even if we happen to get some warm weather, the grass will be wet. The DOT requires everyone to sign a waiver. I sent this out previously via email. If you did receive it, either email it back to me, or bring it with you to the cleanup. Else fill out one when you come to the event. Let's pray for nice weather. We are looking for a good turnout as many hands make short work. Also it makes for a visible community project. And we can find out what is the most popular beer can, or maybe it's a water bottle this year! If you have any questions, you can get hold of me at Langmarvin55@gmail.com or 315-651-6420

andThere Goes Another Pallet... by Gary Oz
April 9 th, Skantarians picked up 19 boxes from Kelly Gunderson, the Skaneateles Middle School librarian, who had them pre-packed and ready to go. We transported them to our ACE garage holding area where they were shrink wrapped, awaiting pickup next week from Arrow Trucking. The RC volunteers were; Marv Langley, Doug Hill, Ed Evans, Bill Conole & Me. My thanks to all.
