Highway Clean-up April 2016

May 1, 2016

On Saturday morning, April 30, 2016, eight (8) members of the Damascus Lions club participated in a trash cleanup of Valley Park Drive.  The Lions Club “Adopted” the one mile stretch of Valley Park Drive between Ridge Road (Rt 27) and Woodfield Road (RT 124) as part of the Montgomery County Adopt A Road (AAR) program.  Montgomery County has posted signs on our adopted roadway which clearly identify the DAMASCUS LIONS CLUB as being responsible for the roadway.  The signs are excellent publicity for the Lions club and one of them is clearly visible from busy Rt 27.  Part of our responsibility is to perform a road cleanup six (6) time 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: Tony Barry, Del Mayhew, Chris Fletcher, John Washington, Charlie Hertel, Ken Phillips, Lion Warren Schwab, and Ray Molesworth.

The weather was misty and a little chilly, certainly not warm enough for us to fire up the Bar-B-Q grill that we found on the roadway! Fun was had by all who participated and Chris took pictures to prove it.

Our next scheduled road cleanup will happen in early summer.
