FREEWAY WARRIORS TO DOUBLE THEIR PLEASURE, DOUBLE THEIR FUN By Bill Korbholz and Ken Seydel CalTrans is so pleased with the work of our Adopt-A-Highway volunteers that they’ve asked us to come out monthly rather than bi-monthly. So starting this month (September), we will be cleaning our segment of I-280 adjacent to Edgewood on the first Saturday of the even-numbered months and the first Sunday of the odd-numbered months. Although crews will be going out twice as often, we should find about half as much trash on each outing. Rather than asking everyone to come out every month, we have formed two teams, each of which will volunteer every other month as before. Results from June and August In June, Sarah Divine, Carolyn Dorsch, Katherine Greene, Susan Russell, and Kathy and Bill Korbholz collected 18 bags of trash. They were rewarded with $21 and a hubcap. Those same 6, less Katherine, were joined by Barbara Barnes, Billy James, Margaret Marshall, and Ken Seydel in August. The summertime is typically the worst time of the year for trash, and the group picked up 27 bags worth that day, not to mention another hubcap, a bike wheel and tire, and $6.50. You’re Invited With our new monthly schedule, we need more than ever to add a few more freeway warriors to our crew. Although we don’t do it for the money, statistically speaking you are likely to make about $1 per hour, and you might be the next person to find that $100 bill. Our next outing after Sunday September 7th will be Saturday October 4. If you would like to join us on that outing please contact Ken. We will see that you are safety trained and equipped with your very own Picker, hard hat, goggles, gloves, and bright orange vest. |
