THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AT THE CLEAN UP ON SATURDAY!!!

The community appreciates your commitment and efforts on a gloomy day. Good news, bad news, we were able to clean up a significant amount of litter.

Special thanks to Bill Purvin who spent several hours grinding stickers off of the light pole.

Please don't put stickers on public property. Bill showed me a couple that are a questionable.

Also, special thanks to the Crust and Crumble restaurant on Lake Ave in AP, and the Asbury Park Brewery for their support in our efforts. ( please support these businesses!)

We are looking to add more businesses to our future efforts.

More to come...thank you all again.

Good morning…sort of 😎. Rain is supposed to stop around 9am. I’ll still be out there with bags and gloves if you are still interested in coming.

If you decide to come, I have a surprise for you.

If you don’t I’ll be in touch via this page.

Have a great day.
