Lower Commons / Kids Creek Cleanup
Funded by Alliance Beverage Distributors - Traverse City

*************************

We did a recon on Monday, May 6th and found all the places that needed work.

On Saturday, only 7 showed up but that didn't stop us.

We had gotten a golf cart from the TC Golf Club.  It was huge help.
We used it to carry and drag the bundles of tents, tarps and trash out to the road.



A few more homeless people came out to help at about 10:30 which was nice.

By the end we had 9 people helping and about that many watching.

They took about 90 bags of trash out of the woods which was a good day's work.

We did not get all that we had hoped to but we got a lot. 

Burger King Whoppers were provided by the BK at Meijers.
THANK YOU  BURGER KING!!!
