APWA-MN Spring 2017 Service Event - A Success!

By Michael Thompson, Chair, Environment &Sustainability Committee

On a beautiful Thursday afternoon, May 4^th to be exact, we had 19 volunteers show up for the Adopt-A-Highway event. Our dedicated members spent part of the afternoon bettering the environment and filling over 75 bags with trash along Highway 100, between the 36^th Avenue and Bottineau Boulevard interchanges in Robbinsdale (https://goo.gl/maps/ZKFeXxZ1Ai72).

The attendees in no specific order: Mike Ryan, Allison Bell, Andrew Hengel, Tony Kutzke, Alyson Fauske, Matt Huggins, Adam Gadbois, Ron Leaf, Chris Petree, Heidi Hamilton, Erika Scherman, Tim Pratt, Charlie Howley, Reid Wronski, Sue Mason, Eric Nelson, Alex Miller, Michael Thompson, and Dan Ruiz.

A few of the special finds were a BB gun (Chris P), valid driver’s license and $1 bill (Dan R), kickball and umbrella (Alyson F), tennis ball (Sue M), and much more. We hope to see you later this year for the next round…you never know what you’ll find. Date and time to be determined. Stay tuned.     

Lastly, a big thank you to all those listed above for making this event a continued success! And a special thank you to Matt Huggins and Mike Ryan who both have really stepped up and taken this event to the next level.
