The Big Cleanup #3: Caring Community

Our fundraising efforts have so far brought in $650 from the community. With the $1,500 matching grant, that means $1,300 towards the cleanup. Please remember there's $850 left in the challenge grant and it's good until the end of August. It's not too late to make a contribution that doubles your money!

The Big Cleanup #2: Pitching In!

The Grange is working on cleaning up that eyesore next to our hall. We need to raise $5000.00 to do it right. 

Why We Can't Burn

We have consulted with professional firefighters and have determined that burning the buildings will not work. The site is too close to SR 4 and there could be smoke issues. That means WSP needs to be on hand to potentially close the highway. There are also rules about air quality and the composite roofing. If you think the outside of the property looks bad, the inside of the houses are pretty awful. There seemed to have been hoarding going on as the houses are packed full of appliances, moldy textiles and all kinds of garbage. It would be a big, messy job itself to clean up the insides of those houses - just to burn them.
