Great day! Though it was cut short by thunder and rain, in an hour four of us picked up a lot of trash. The areas where we worked look so much better, and it felt really good to be out doing this and sharing time together. But there is still a lot to do. Thinking maybe we can book another day and have a larger group come out and also share a picnic lunch, maybe some games, and clean up a lot more. Maybe the last weekend of September? Anyone near #SummitNJ want to join us?
