On Saturday, July 19, our chapter had the second Wayne County Adopt-A-Road pick-up on Joy Road. It didn't rain, although it certainly was a muggy morning. . Can't believe that both signs, near Haggerty and at Canton Center Road are still hanging! This is our eleventh year we have had the honor of taking care of Joy Road. We had a whopping 17 volunteers that showed up, and there were only nine garbage bags filled, which must be an all time low. There just wasn't a lot of trash to pick up, which actually is a very good thing. Those that participated are: Marcel (Yamaha) Loosbrock; Jerry (Commander in Chief) Thomason and Judy (Miss Cutie) Thomason; Susie ("I have my digital camera!") Wagner; Gary (Ouch/Donut Policeman) Boucher; Don (Rock & Roll King) Dignan; Roger (Soft Spoken) Schlee; Ron ("looks like we got ourselves a convoy") Little; Mike "Oooohaaaaa" Dicker; Mark "Frequent Flyer" Grzesiek; Bob "Ram a lam a lam ding dong" Lamoureux; Bob "this is your captain speaking" Humphrey; Dale "dogtag" Luebke; Pete "smooth as glass" Glasgow; Ron "on the throne" King; Karen "foxy grandma" Whipple and Rich "Death from above" Whipple. Sixteen of us ended our road crew assignment by dining at the Canton Coney Island, where the camaraderie topped the great chow and coffee. Our next Road Crew date will be Saturday, September 13 at 0830 hours.
