FALL CLEANUP 2016
As usual, we met at the RWC Corp Yard at 8:30. When we divided up
into "teams", this time it looked like there would be a LOT of people
going to the cemetery.
I had scoped out 3 projects: the Brambles, the returning ivy, and
general garbage pickup.
THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO HELP TODAY!
Notes:
- If I did not identify you, or your group, or spell your name
correctly, - anything! - please let me know, and I
will fix it.
- If you were there, and I did not get a picture of you and your
group, please let me know! I think I got everyone, but I'm not
sure....
Below is a very large
group from the Inglesia Ni Christo - Church of Christ, on 3rd
Ave. in RWC. They are shown here with only 3 bags of ivy, but
by the end of the morning there were bags everywhere!

Marcalina, Joy, Katelin, Brittany

Here is a second group that attacked the ivy (we have a lot
of ivy). Some of them I
recognize from the Woodside Octagon Club. We were a little
short on clippers and loppers and Nick (on the left) wished
he'd known, so he could have brought some from home.
THANKS to:
- Nick
- Elizabeth (official lopper'er)
- Sandra
- Paulina
- Lee

Did I say we were short on clippers? Elizabeth went home and
came back with hers for us to use! Wow! We couldn't have
done such a great job on the ivy without Elizabeth and her
clippers/loppers. I sure hope she got them all back.
Elizabeth: here's a picture of everything you brought.
If you are missing anything, email me.
SO, we owe a BIG THANK YOU to

Some of the Chirch Of Christ kids broke away from the ivy
pulling group to pick up garbage with our
garbage-picker-upper-thingies. They were working,
but I made them sit down for this
picture.
THANKS again to
- Katelyn
- Marielle
- little Angelo
- Andrew
- Edward

Here's a group from Woodside High School's Octagon Club
/Green Academy showing a FEW of the bags of dead leaves they
pulled. They look like they were having fun. It must have
been the spiffy blue gloves provided by RWC.
THANK YOU to:
- Back Row: Holly, Claudia, Laviah, Fernanda, Laura
- Front Row: Kayla, Andrea, Alondra, Carla

And now for the cuteness factor (as if little Angelo wasn't
enough): Ella and Elio were off doing their own thing, picking up
garbage. Elio was a bit shy, but when he took the
picker-upper-thingy he could point it off into the distance
like a pro. I also like how the orange vest fits him.
THANKS to Ella for bringing Elio to the cemetery and picking
up garbage with him!

One of our goals for the day was to cut the brambles in the Philpott
plot.
Abby, a member
of the HUCA board, offered to take on this project.
Boy were we surprised when we arrived at the cemetery and
found that most of the brambles had already been cut!
Nevertheless, the crew spent the morning on this plot,
cutting the remaining brambles, and making sure all the rest
of them were cut below the soil line.
And they took special care to not damage the rose at the back.
THANK YOU "BRAMBLERS"...
