About 30 members of the Kings
Bay Rotary Club of Crystal River got their hand dirty participating in
the annual Adopt-A-Shore on September 16th. This is a state-wide
clean-up and our club participates in this each year.
We met at the Manatee Dive and Tour located on the Crystal River around
8am and cleaned the the Kings Bay Ares (how appropriate eh?). We removed
the usual cups, hats, bags, soda/beer cans along with a TV, railroad
ties, golf balls and much, much more. Each item that is removed form the
water is logged so that the Aquatics Department can get an idea of what
items are found where... and why. In the span of about 3 1/2 hours, I am
guessing that we removed around 500 lbs. collectively.
With the sun beating down on us and the heat reaching around 90 degrees,
several of the members then anchored their boats to Galen Clymer's huge
Eco Tour Boat at he main spring to cool off and enjoy fellowship. We
have scheduled a fellowship for each month of the new Rotary year and
encourage out members to invite prospective new members. This is good
for out community as it is more hand helping beautify our local waters
and a great way in introduce prospective members to our club. |
