Blackburn Hamlet’s Spring Clean-up 2001 was a great success! Blackburn residents scoured roadsides and ditches, forests and parks and the community gardens and streams. In all over 100 bags of litter were collected by more than 70 volunteers on the morning of April 28. In addition to the litter, volunteers found some other very interesting items including tires, car doors, and an oil barrel!
Following the Clean-up, volunteers enjoyed a complimentary BBQ where they also had the opportunity to meet new and old friends alike. A sincere thank you is extended to Bill Smith, Iris Phillips and Rainer Bloess for their help in orchestrating this event, as well as Loeb and McDonalds for their sponsorship.
Most of all, a big thank you is extended to each and every one of the volunteers that came to help on the 28th. We could not have done it without you, and we hope to see you again next year!
Let’s keep Blackburn Hamlet clean all year round! It’s easy when we each pitch in and pick up litter when we see it.
