After the liter discusion on this thread, Rude Folks</p>

Rsimms and I got to talking about getting a group of CFF'ers, family and friends together for a massive clean-up effort at Riverpark. The goal: To bring attention to keeping the area clean. This is NOT to place blame, and condemn anyone, but we think education will make a difference. The newspaper, and a news station will most likely be there to document the effort and show that the area sportsman, i.e. CFF members really care about this issue. </p>

We figure if we can get a big group together for it, it wont take an hours time and we can get a serious truck-load of trash picked up. </p>

We do need one very special volunteer for this project, as EricM already said he would be there, and with his reputation around dam's and slippery rocks, he will need somebody to keep an eye on him with a first-aid kit in hand, ready to assist the Ol' coot. :D</p>

We have some other ideas, and might try and gather a get-together afterwords for all involved, and maybe even a T-shirt order to commemorate the event. This is a feeler thread, and we will get an official thread started at the appropriate time. </p>

The date and time right now will be July 11th at 6pm. This time should work for most folks we hope. </p>

Ideas? Would you come? </p>

</p>
 
Sounds good. T Shirts would be nice too! Let the community see whos doing what!
 
If I am in town I will be there.
Also someone should contact Boat/US and see if there is any grant money available for recycle containers etc
 
count me in - that place is a dump and a disgrace to the river.

Put me down for 2 people at least... I was there last weekend and we picked up 2 tackle bags ...I mean walmart bags worth of fishing line and worm cups just at the pier... So we are all for it!
 
I'm in... ddnichols made up the shirts and i think he has some left over... i'll check with him...
 
do we need boats or just going to walk the banks and pick up? either way count me in , if boats are needed I may have problems with the current in the canoe, may need a tow back up stream- LOL, but the canoe can hold a lot of trash, go fishing with me and you will see- LOL. but yeah count me in, and I will bring a first aid kit, I am also and Eagle Scout so I know enough First Aid to be of asst. till EMT's arrive- emolaugh
 
I'm definitely in, Spur. Hope you're able to get the press to pay attention. Not to pat ourselves on the back - but to bring it to people's attention that they're polluting our waterways and all of God's beautiful creation. Pet peeve of mine. Just keep us posted!
