[RP TownTalk] Keeping our parks

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

Thank you Emily.  You are one person in town who not only comes up  with a 
suggestion, but follow up as to how to get it done and you are always  
willing to work on it.  We need to clone you!  Great idea.

Del's suggestion for Field of Dreams is
Trash Cans that say "Thank you for recycling"
and have 1 can for recyclables & 1 can for
garbage.  Sit a set by the woods where they
watch the games, maybe a set on the edge
of the parking lot where they eat out their 
cars & a set at the other end of the field.
 
I picked up trash one day when the adults
had arrived to practice - they asked what  i
was doing & I said picking up everybody's 
trash.  I said it would be nice for you all to 
pick up all your trash each time.  The 
neighbors around here do not like looking at
all the trash.  It is a privilege to play here for
free.
 
They said oh we will pick up the trash. And
that group seems to be following through now.
But I do not have time to wait for each group.
 
Maybe the Art Council & the town could have
a contest where kids/adults present pictures of
their artwork for a trash can.  The Art Council &
Town could judge together & the winners would
be given a can to do their "thing" on.  Maybe besides
a trash can - maybe use some of the artists for
signs around town.    
 
Wm Wirt & Riverdale Elementary could be in the
contest so the kids would "get" the message also.
