Two $25 Green Up Certificates Go Unclaimed

Hi All,

Got a few photos of the adults participating in Green Up Day this morning. Four people were working on the Fletcher Road. Al Told me that the Filberti Family does the Buck Hollow Road and I might catch them, but all I found was a bunch of filled Green-Up bags along the Buck Hollow Road, so they must have been out bright and early. I did however catch Frank & Jill Wells from Village View, but Frank informed me that all the good trash had been picked up. Took the opportunity to have a good visit with them as I had never personally met them. Jill, you may remember had sent me some photos of John Simons out in the field below them this past winter creating his snow designs with snow shoes. Took a ride down river road where Al said the Boy Scouts took care of Green Up, but didn't see anyone and came back up through Shepardson Hollow, again nothing. Al tells me that Don Pigeon usually picks up about three truck loads which is a lot of stuff to pick up on our Fairfax Roads as the State does Route 104. Families have taken on the responsibility of Nichols Road, Carrol Hill Road and probably a few other Roads that Al told me about, which since I didn't write it down, have forgotten.

In regards to the $25 Green Up Certificates, an annonymous donor gives three of these certificates and they are placed along the roads and anyone who finds them can cash them in. One was found last Thursday, but there are still two out there somewhere and Al is not privy to where they are since he sets up the routes. If not found, Al said that he thinks thinks the certificates expire in a couple of weeks. Hopefully someone has or will find them.

Below are my Green-Up pictures taken this morning:

Many thanks to all who participated in this 37 year old Green Up Day.
