BEACH SWEEP / RIVER SWEEP REAPS HEAPS
On Saturday, September 19, 2009, 14 hardy volunteers gathered at
Dutchman Creek Marina to clean up some of our Lake Wateree
shoreline for the National Annual Beach Sweep / River Sweep.
These volunteers were: Mary Urias (Executive Director of "Keep
Fairfield Beautiful"), Michael Urias and Damian Calixto, all from
Winnsboro, and from Lake Wateree were Donna Henderson, Jeff
Laxague, Joy Lehnhoff, Bug Jones & Paul, Roy Lee, Ned Gwin, Bill &
Lorraine Hubert, Jerry Lester and Gordon Thorsvold.
Debris left behind by careless campers and fishermen included
85 bags of trash, 10 tires, and many metal propane cylinders, etc.
Our heartfelt thanks again to these caring folks who are not
only friends of Lake Wateree but friends of the environment as well.
