[RP TownTalk] Litter Pickup

[Sarah Wayland]

I LOVE this idea!!

I wonder if we could coordinate so that those of us who aren't available on
Saturday morning (me) could still contribute. One of the things I love
about Dotsie, Emily & Del is that they pick up the garbage as part of their
walks through town. If we all did this, think how clean the town would be!

Also, maybe we could help the town maintain their gardens as well. A group
dedicated to the beautification of our town - whatever that might
involve....

Love the constructive ideas! Keep them coming!

-Sarah
