“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”   -     Native American Proverb

In recognition of Earth Day, which falls on Wednesday, April 22, 2009, Mezzo2009 will be organizing a clean-up on Sunday, April 19, 2009, from 2:00 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. at Breen/Rotary Field.  We are actively recruiting volunteers to assist with cleaning debris from the hill behind the backstops and along the riverbank.

We encourage people of all ages to share a few hours of their weekend supporting a good cause.  The event should be a great opportunity for children to learn the importance of protecting our parks and natural resources, and the damage caused by not properly disposing of trash.  Supervision will be provided to ensure that any children joining us will be safe and out of harm’s way.

Jim and Sue Goggin have graciously offered their home (87 Moonlight Circle, Naugatuck, CT) for a cookout after the clean-up.  Hot dogs and hamburgers will be served.

Bags and gloves will be provided to all those who attend.  Special thanks to Recycling Coordinator Sheila Baummer for her assistance in organizing.

Anyone interested in volunteering, please email our campaign at bob@bobmezzo.com, or call 203-729-6271.
