Hogans Creek Cleanup: February 12th @ 9:00 am, Noone's Launch Park

[DA_MONSTER]

It sounds like a lot of people are coming out for this.  Do we have a secondary site along the creek that could also use help?

[Captain Zissou]

Does anyone know any Riverkeepers that want to help??

Will look into...

is SOS

Sisters of the Sea or another SOS that I don't know?

SOS is Save Our Springfield. 

Monster:  The goal for this cleanup is to get all the way to the Duval Street bridge.  That should be enough land for the number of volunteers we have.  If not, we can send people up to Confederate Park if need be.  Hogan's Creek has plenty of room for us to work with.

Neighborhood Clean Up

The Spar Bloack Captains are hosting the monthly Neighborhood Clean Up on 2/12/11 from 10am to 12 noon, meeting at 9th & Main.


Clean ups are held every second Saturday of the month in a different location within the neighborhood.


This month, we will clean along Main Street between 8th and 12th, and other near by areas that may need attention.


All volunteers please meet at 9th (west) & Main at 10:00am and bring any extra clean up supplies you have. SPAR will provide trash bags and possibley some extra "picker uppers".


Come a half hour early (9:30am) to talk about the future Block Captain actvities.

L&N, That sounds good. I'd be more than happy to go to Main after 11 and keep going for another hour. Looking forward to meeting more SOS and SPAR Movers and Shakers.

Had the opportunity to meet Vivian Harrell with Clean it up and Green it up. She was awesome. Will have some supplies for this cleanup which is just 26 hours away. Its happening. Vivian  will have a solid waste pick up for the garbage that is collected. Thats a partnership.

Just know in your heart that you are making it happen. Somebody bring a camera because it should be a big pile of garbage.

[Noone]

Today is Thurs. I thought it was Friday. Can't wait. It will be happening in Dist. 7 Sat.

Yeah, I'm down to help as well after Hogan is sparkling clean Saturday.

We should form a partnership in this regard.  A restored Hogans Greenbelt is important to Springfield, in my humble opinion.

L&N, who is the person in charge of the Neighborhood Clean Up at Spar? 

[River Ocean]

Happy Thursday everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that we have created an event on facebook and invited all of our fans to the cleanup on Saturday morning. 
You can check it out at: http://www.facebook.com/RiverOcean

We are super stoked to be a part of this. We will be bringing lots of bottled water and trash bags to share.
The River Ocean team is really looking forward to meeting all of you and saying thanks in person!

Enjoy the Water...

I may have to rush off to do a Habijax project, but if not I'd love to help too.  Are there any SPAR folks who would be able to put in a half hour to an hour to lend us a hand before hand?  Field is right, a partnership between the two groups would benefit both sides. A clean Hogan's Creek is a great asset to the entire city, but even more so to the Springfield community.

[Miss Fixit]

I am awed by all the attention Noone has brought to Hogans Creek.  Saturday's cleanup is going to be a great event and I hope to be there to help.

Meanwhile, if you are on facebook please "like" the page I've set up - Friends of the Hogans Creek Greenway.  This is just a small start to something MUCH bigger that I hope to set up to help advance Noone's cause.  More on that soon!
