Adopt-A-Highway Spring Clean-Up 2012

October 23rd Adopt-A-Highway – Fall Cleanup (Bill Rogers) saw a beautiful fall day and about 21 picker-uppers enjoying their collection tasks.

 

Oct. 16th Ear Muff Run was well attended with 9 cars, led by Graeme (filling in for Eric Taylor). The wonderful scenic route ended up at the Admiral's Post. The winning participant was Ms. Wilheminia Rogers (see photo below).

 

Oct. 11th General Meeting was held with a record number of 22 “Show & Shine” cars on display. At our meeting, Jonna Chalmers showed some impressive photos of her father racing in early days in Denmark, no seat belts, fiery crashes and a lack of safety standards.

Adopt-A-Highway Spring 2011 Cleanup - April 24, 2011

Spring 2011 Cleanup on Easter Sunday.  18 hardy souls showed up at Pipers and we drove to our section of Grey Road 2.  After posing for a group photo, it didn’t take us long to clean the road.  A great job by everyone – well done.
