VOLUNTEER EFFORTS OF NOTE:
OPERATION A.C.T IN MAR 2007
"Thank You" just doesn't capture my appreciation, or that of the Groundwork Board, for the hard work and the enthusiasm Troop 835 brought to the Operation A.C.T. Clean-up on March 31, 2007. Please convey our appreciation to the following individuals for their efforts:
Chaz Sanders, Michael Fremming, Jeremy Dickie, Heather Dickie, Oliver Ness, Jason Tarlton + John Tarlton, Bryce Halloran, Whit Lippencott, and Ryan True
Based upon my rough calculation, we removed between 2 and 3 tons of trash from the Rochester Lakes area of the Great Trinity Forest.
Operation A.C.T. is a prime example of what a group of interested and dedicated citizens can do to "leave a place in better shape than they found it". Please accept our sincerest thanks for helping us improve the Great Trinity Forest for the citizens of Dallas. You can be assured that this will be an ongoing mission for Groundwork Dallas.
Sincerely,
Ron Kovatis
Executive Director, Groundwork Dallas
