Park Street Park Clean Up

 

A round of applause goes out to those of you who helped out at the Park Street Park clean up on Wednesday, June 7th.  The crew worked to cut and bundle branches, then piled them up on the curb.  The City of Dearborn Sanitation Department was kind enough to haul it all away for us!  The clean up crew included:  Joe Robar; Mark & Terri Golles; Mia & Mark Stewart; Neziyo, Elhan, and Iyloy Alo; Ed Roose; Mike McGinty; Mike, Ruth, Scott and Dave Assenmacher; Dave & Sylvia Tillman; Don Westcott; and Kurt Klimkiewicz.  A "secret helper" who asked not to be named, but was kind enough to spend his lunch hour that day cleaning up in the park.  Thanks to all of you!
