ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY UPDATE By Ken Seydel The first Saturday in April was a beautiful sunny spring day - almost 80° (no foolin’). Four new Freeway Warriors: Kate Conners, Katherine Greene, Susan Russell, and Roger Myers joined “old timers” Bob Archibald, Billy James, Frank Figoni, Dianne Hunt, Bill & Kathy Korbholz and Ken Seydel to make one of our largest crews. It was fortunate that we had so much help as our section of the freeway was more than ready to be cleaned. We had been rained out in February and 29 bags of trash were waiting to be collected. Vacations and otherwise busy schedules of our volunteers impacted the June 3rd cleanup. We only had seven workers: Frank Figoni, Dianne Hunt, Bill & Kathy Korbholz, Janice Mcomber, Roger Myers and Ken Seydel. However this is an experienced and hard-working group and we managed to finish cleaning our entire adopted section. Among items picked up this time were $15.45 and two Taurus hubcaps.
Additional volunteers are always welcome to join the fun on the first Saturday of the even months. If you have an interest please contact Ken Seydel. We will see that you are safety trained and equipped with your very own Picker, hardhat, goggles, gloves, and bright orange vest. ` |

As we were finishing, both the
local manager of the Farm Hill CalTrans Station and the Director of
Adopt-A-Highway for the entire Bay Area happened to drive by. They recognized
and appreciated that the Friends of Edgewood were doing a superior job!
