Adopt A Highway

[carynml]

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.

[JackGreen]

This is such a silly question. Why do we need to watch a video to do clean up?


 Jack, the curious one

[carynml]

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.

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.

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.

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:  

[Sati]

nope sure don't.

but you can find it on the sha webpage, if you can get to the adopt a highway section.

[carynml]

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.
