Do more cleaning?
« on: August 31, 2010, 03:33:11 AM »
Had a blast at the last cleanup... Looking forward to future cleanups too :)

During the cleanup, it was mentioned that the BGRP was encountering some resistance or at least lack of interest about our cleanup efforts inside the fence. Is there some sort of contact information available for people to ask about being able to clean up? I for one would like to be able to call or email someone.

Hi Rashore, I too had a great time at the last cleanup. We need to get more people involved in this so we can really get it nice looking like it was last year.

What contact details are you asking for in particular? The current owners of the cemetery?

Hey all I was at the Grove yesterday Sunday and the swap program was out there Sat. and cut down the grass and trimmed trees and branches along the path. It makes a difference and we should take advantage of it and rake the place up soon. The lady who picked up a bag from the trash can said we don`t need a permit to do any cleanup as long as we don`t have power tools. How about it Pete do you want to get people together and rake the stuff up this month??

Hello everyone! Hello Guitarman and Pete! Unfortunately, Megan and I will have to miss this one. Megan will be receiving her Sacrament of Holy Confirmation in the Catholic Church very soon. This Sunday (Oct. 17) is a dress rehearsal day with training, and the weekend after (Oct. 24) is the actual Confirmation graduation day.  Email us again if you have another cleanup in Nov. We’ll make that one for sure as long as none of us are ill. Well, at least we got our shots, so we should be okay.

No problem at all ladies. We will have a Halloween cleaning for the cemetery this year too by the way :)  After this Sunday at the prairie the notice will go out.

Hello John, I was planning on making the cleanup, so we can talk about cleaning up the Grove more on Sunday. Hope you are well and we will see you all tomorrow.

It may be better to wait until the November 14th event now that we have the approval to properly dispose the material.

Hey guys sorry I did not make it to the brush pile burn and clean up at the Prairie. I had way too much work at home to get caught up on and am still not finished. I`ll make the next one for sure.

Great!! Perfect timing too. Bill Fath and I planned to do some power tool work during the next few events (next notice going out this weekend). When do they send you the certificate of completion? You should get one and a small business card style version too to keep with you during any event.

I wish the weather was warmer the day of my test. They had to hold off for the "hands-on" until it got warmer.
