By Chain Gang Boss Tony Barry
On Saturday morning, November 7, 2015, seven (7) members of the Damascus Lions club participated in a trash cleanup of Valley Park Drive. The Lions Club recently “Adopted” the one mile stretch of road between Ridge Road (Rte. 27) and Woodfield Road (Rte. 124) as part of the Montgomery County Adopt A Road (AAR) program. Montgomery County will be posting signs on our adopted roadway in the near future and the signs will identify the DAMASCUS LIONS CLUB as being responsible for the roadway. Part of our responsibility is to perform a road cleanup six (6) times per year, and to report to the county after each cleanup, identifying how many volunteers we had and how much trash we picked up. The AAR chair, Lion Tony, has sent the report to the county informing them that we picked up three (3) large garbage bags of trash. The following lions participated in the event on Saturday morning; Lion Daniel A. (Tony) Barry (AAR Chairman), King Lion Barbara Barry, Lion Tom Jackson, Lion Bob Snapp, Lion Wayne Marr, Lion Joe Howerton, and Lion Warren Schwab .
Our next scheduled road cleanup will happen early in the New Year, weather permitting.
