Saturday - May 15: "This Is My Town" was the theme for a litter clean-up that took place this past Saturday in Wellsville. The event was sponsored by the Village Tree Committee and made possible with an ODNR grant awarded to the committee.
We were told there were about 40 volunteers that came out to participate in the clean-up. Most of them were younger members of the community such as Brianna Ross in the last picture above. As mentioned in our post for this past Tuesday's Council meeting, the participants were commended for the great job they did.
Armed with brooms, shovels, gloves and garbage bags the volunteers were spread out all around town. Each volunteer was given a bright green safety tee-shirt. After the clean-up the participants were treated to lunch at the First United Methodist Church. In fact Pastor Ken Malone of that congregation was one of the volunteers.
The last task of the day was to spread newly purchased mulch around the trees in Broadway Park. That's were we caught up with them after helping with the Memorial Council. The clean-up was spearheaded by Tree Committee President Dawn Johnson.
Thanks folks for your efforts. It made a big improvement.
