Here is a cheer for all the great volunteers who came out today to help the Dwight Lions' Club with the annual roadside clean-up.
Bob and Brian posed for some 'action shots' for me. As did Mike and Dave.
There were plenty of other people out there helping to make sure our roadsides are as beautiful as they should be.
And shame on those who still haven't got the message and toss their garbage out the car windows. It ain't that hard, kiddies... put it in a bag, and put it in the trash bins when you get to your destination.
Bob tells me that there is a glimmer of hope, however. When the Lion's started this annual clean-up about fifteen years ago, they picked up over 30 bags of garbage along the designated route. This year, it was down to 5.
Which is still 5 too many.
It is these great folks who come out to volunteer for all sorts of local activities, including this task of picking up the trash that makes this such a wonderful community. So here is a big round of applause for the Dwight Lion's Club, and all its members and volunteers.
We really truly appreciate all that you do.

It's progress, from 30 down to five, but still...
