THIS EVENT WILL BE RAIN OR SHINE.

Ok everyone! The time you were waiting for has arrived. We are putting together a clean up day in the Coy Hill area on Saturday May 10th, 2008. The maintenance portion will be scheduled at a later date due to environmental concerns. Details are still being worked out, but we will need shovels, hoes, rakes, gloves, and plenty of manpower to help pick up trash. If you have a camera, bring that too, as this is our chance to show the towns we are the good guys and want to make things right. We also anticipate media coverage. The meeting time will be 9am and the meeting place is TBD until we finalize details with the dumpster/transfer location. Also, we will need trucks and vehicles with trailers for rubbish removal, but I would like to try and keep vehicle impact on the roads to a minimum and carpool where we can (The dumpster location will hopefully have plenty of room for this).

In order to keep this as coordinated as possible, please reply to Zaedock@msn.com with the following info:

Name / Club
Vehicle type (Jeep, truck, etc.)
Trailer Y/N
Number of open seats

With this list, I will be able to assign cleanup teams. Trouble areas will be identified soon and maps will be assigned to every group.
Thank you all for your patience this past winter. It is greatly appreciated. I hope that we can make a difference in this troubled area.

Take care,
Joe

Assuming it is, can you talk to Dave about a possible place to stay and maybe a Sunday expedition somewhere that\'s still open?

Info updated.

Cora - I\'ve got to take the truck to get my tires, you\'re still more than welcome to ride along.

Gotta get a hitch for the Jetta....

here is the e-mail

Greetings,
First, I want to thank everyone who has stepped up and volunteered to help clean the Coy Hill area. It is greatly appreciated! Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that the cleanup scheduled for May 10th, 2008 has been canceled. During our final preparations to acquire the dumpster, we conducted another trash survey this past weekend. To our surprise, much of the trash and larger objects have been picked up. While this is somewhat good news, at this time we do not know who has cleaned the area. I drove through again today and verified that there isn\'t enough trash to even fill my truck and therefore does not justify the expense of a dumpster or large cleanup effort. A scaled-down cleanup may be planned at a future date and will most likely be incorporated into the repair work to several of the damaged private properties. Please check the FOCH forum for updates.
Again, I want to thank everyone who has volunteered and apologize for this unexpected cancellation.

Thank you,
Joe Ostrenga
