We need to do a clean up in September. I suggest that we clean up on Sunday, September 26th. We have to do it early (like 6am) and we can stay the night at the grove if we want. That day is already scheduled to have just a short RoC.
We have vests for 10 people. I'd like to have at least 5 definite volunteers.
-
I'm not sure that I could make it up there before 9 or 10 after a late night at the grove. Its a 1/2 hour home and then a nother 1/2 hour back up after onlya few hours of sleep.
What if we did it early on Sat morning like 9 or 10 (or later), came back to the Grove (showered) and then set up for the Mabon high rite?
-
As painful as six a.m. is...you can put my name down. Especially,
if I can crash at the Grove. I have a sleeping bag in my car.
Jack, the late riser
-
or what if we do it this saturday or sunday in the afternoon.
i've seen other groups in the afternoon, and frankly, i don't think many of our members are going to be up to this whole early as hell thing.
just a thought.
-
I'd prefer not to be up at the butt crack of dawn, honestly. And I think doing this on a weekend of a high rite AND a witan meeting might be a little harsh.
-
okay, looks like the 17th is as good a day as any. how does 9am sound?
now, if it's raining, we'll have to reschedule.
please wear sturdy shoes (preferably work boots or something similar) and bring a pair of gloves so you can pick up the trash safely and with as little ickiness as possible.
if you haven't signed a form yet, you can sign it sunday morning before we start and i'll mail it in the next day.
-
What's the location for this? The cable guy is coming that afternoon, so I could come for a few hours if it's not too far from the Grove.
-
Things have come up and I won't be there tomorrow. Everything you need (the safety video, the safety paperwork, the safety equipment, the orange signs, the trash bags) is in the closet in the front room. The two large orange signs need to be hung over our street signs. one's at the suntrust and one is at the church on the corner of putty hill.
i'm sure yall can handle this.
-
Okay tomorrow (Sunday) at (gulp) 9:00 a.m. I'll be at the Grove.
Since Sati isn't going to be there, will there be someone who knows
where we are going.
The sight of 15 lost Druids waundering the roads looking for trash
to pick up is a bit humorous, but I still would rather not get lost
in the first place.
Jack, the most lost

the suntrust on harford (just before taylor, coming from glenmore)
to
the church on the corner of putty hill and harford
between the big signs that say 'adopt a highway cedarlight grove'
-
:) Well if Sati isn't going to be there, I don't know for sure Jack but it may be just you and I. Speaking from past experiences in these things.
How about this? We meet there at 10, we find the video "AND" the TV & VCR which I am not completely certain where they are right now.
We do ROC, the vote thing, and see who we can 'coerice' into going and helping us...but it still may be you and I and I want to plant some of the mums from the handfasting before they dry out too much.
I mean it sounds like you, Sati & Crystal are the only onles talking here.
My 2 cents
Caryn
BTW..there is NO coffee at the Grove.
-
Sounds good Caryn,
I wasn't wild about having to get up an hour earlier.
So I will be at the Grove at my normal time and we can see if we can get more folks to help after Walk with the Old Ones, and of course the vote.
See ya tomorrow.
Jack
-
I'll bring some coffee too. (If I remember). (I'll try to remember).

StateHighway sent a letter inviting volunteers to a get together after "Make a Difference DAy" which is scheduled for October 23, 2004. We should use this day for the clean up that was not done today.
October 22, 2004 the golden ring Shop is hosting an appreciation event between 10am and 1pm. If anyone wants to attend the gathering please let Sati know by Friday October 21, 2004. Her e-mail is : satikat@cedarlightgrove.org
-
I"m not available that day.
-
:( BTW, the reason we couldn't do the cleanup yesterday was that the VCR at the grove no longer works. Chaos said he might have one to donate. But we will have to get a VCR or schedule someone's house to meet at and watch the video before we can do the cleanup.
-
This is such a silly question. Why do we need to watch a video to do clean up?
Jack, the curious one
-
So we don't get hurt and claim that the state didn't inform us of the dangers and sue the state. In a nutshell.
Caryn
-
I have a VCR that works and I live nearby, so we could watch it here. Count me in for part of the small company interested in doing the adopt a highway thing, too. I'll sign the waiver this Sunday.
-
Seems like arguing with each other got in the way. Shouldn't Druids be more concerned with Nature (our environment) than our personal agendas? Lets try to get over this "past" by looking up at the Sky or down at the Earth, into the Water and breathing the Air. See if you can do anything constructive to preserve what little we have left. Take a hint from our furred and feathered brothers, who "kill for survival", and not to destroy another's spirit!
Sooooo, when are we getting around to keeping our committment to the Highway???

Where's the link to that waiver we need to sign? I would like to have a copy so I can have it sent in before Sunday.
-
Speaking of Waivers...Here they are.
I have then in PDF, RTF and DOC format.

I asked Luisa if she wanted to be point person. She declined.
Sooo..I will post to the inqmi list if that'
s amenable. The video will be shown noonish this Sunday? Followed by cleanup?

Don't forget to take a piece of paper with you. any items that can't be picked up (per the safety guidleines) should be noted. also note each place a bag of trash is left. use the nearest address and building/landmark.
on monday, someone will need to call the SHA to give them this info.

Trash Busters
We came, we kicked trash, we conquered!

Lesson: Don't mess with the Druids.

:D Yes we did and with the 4 of us (2 working each side of the street) it only took an hour and a half. The neighborhood is already a pretty clean neighborhood. The hardest part was continuosly stooping to pick up cigarette butts so I think an investment in some small brooms and a long handled dust pan is in my future if I do this again and I'm sure I will.
I have done a lot of road side cleanups and this was a piece of cake in comparison to some. It was definitely a great time to be had by all.
Sati, do you have the number to the folks I need to call to give the location og the bags?
And BTW, I was giving thumbs up in that picture....not picking my nose which is what it looks like.. why me!? :doh:
-
nope sure don't.
but you can find it on the sha webpage, if you can get to the adopt a highway section.
-
Way to go Druids at Work...Great Pictures and I really enjoyed cooking for you guys. Next ime I'll make some else....Go Trash Busters
-
The phone contact is:
Baltimore County Golden Ring 410-574-4511
You give them the address of the bags, the number of people and how long it took you.
Bags reports, mission accomplished.

:jumpy: The next Adopt-A-Highway cleanup is tenatively scheduled for Saturday, Dec 18th. Gather at 1:00 PM at CedarLight Center. Vollunteers so far are: Jack, Desmodean, Jennifer, Caryn and Deirdre will make homemade spinnach tomato soup at the grove for when we return.
With 4 people last time it took about 1.5 hours. If you have not filled out a waiver, you need to fill one out before we go.
The next cleanup will probably be after the winter.
-
Mission Complete!
We have completed out requirement for this year. Next cleanup will probably be towards the end of March/Early April.
Thanks to all who have helped out and a big thanks to Sati the idea and for getting the ball rolling.
-
Hussah to the walkers and Benders!
Penelope
-
it was NOT my idea.
great job of getting the two cleanups done.
-
It was fun. Now alll I have to do is get Deidre to write that recipe down for me so I can get my wife to make it.
