April 30, 2008

Dear Madame President and members of Council,

The annual Great American Clean up was Saturday, April 26, 2008. We had over 115 volunteers cleaning up in several park areas. Half of the volunteers were under the age of 16. It is great to see so many people dedicated to their community to invest time into our parks. We had volunteers at the following parks: Burwood, Millcrest, Northwoods, Lindner, and Waterworks. They cleaned up trash, old tires and did some painting. We would like to thank everyone for the time and dedication to our community parks. We appreciate everyone who helped.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Wallace
Executive Director
Norwood Recreation Commission
