People pitch in at Leeds Civic Litter Pick-Up

by Sue Carbin

The weather was pretty near perfect for the April 25th village clean up. Twenty seven volunteers turned out. Don Willard and his band of enthusiastic ATVers whipped through Sylvester Rd. Ben Weil, Jason Johnson, Tim Reynolds (and little helpers Rafe, Adi, Luco), Ananda Lennox, Rachel, Julia, Nava, and Patricia, did a great job on Reservoir Rd…they even pulled a sleeper couch out of Robert’s Meadow Brook! Joanne Kelliher covered Audubon as she does every year and Annie Morehouse and Mary Hulbert did Water St. Margie Riddle took care of Arch St. and Rob did the trail off of Arch down to Look Park.  Penny Geis and her grandson, Leo, did the area around Top Dam. Chartpak sent two employees out on Friday, April 24th, to clean up River Rd. So, Leeds is looking pretty good.

The bad news is that while Rob was down picking up litter on the trail his bike was stolen. So, if anyone happened to see two guys pushing a bike or riding on a bike down Arch or Florence Street the morning of April 25th between 8 and 8:30am please let us know.

Tom Quinn and I hauled all the trash up to the dumpster provided by the Northampton DPW. And everybody got a coupon from Friendly’s for a free ice cream sundae!
