Friends of Coyote Creek (FoCC), This
Weeks RAC has been superseded by another slightly larger event ->
the Naglee Park 4th of July EXTRAVAGANZA! Well... they call it a
celebration, humble rascals, but RACES, Bake-offs, a parade, barbecue,
live music, ice cream in the park... WOW!
Want details but didn't get your newsletter? Below, In our monthly section, What to Bring, We have reprinted the day's events. Have FUN and ENJOY your SUNDAY!
This
article was going to be really GREAT! I intended to tell how, in the
brief time we were on June's RAC, someone dumped a SOFA into the Creek.
In rage and indignation, I was going to plaster photos of the gruesome
deed in our newsletter and rally the community in support of stiffer
legislation against such atrocity. I even planned to insert some
plagiarized material on dumping (like: 18% of all litter dropped to the ground is washed into streams, rivers, lakes and the ocean by storm water runoff).
But, alas, I decided to spend the evening at a friend's place drinking
beers and watching videos, so that particular article ain't going to
happen, sorry 'bout that.

- We have not inherited the world from our forefathers--we have borrowed it from our children. - Kashmiri Proverbs
- We
Americans think we are pretty good! We want to build a house, we cut
down some trees. We want to build a fire, we dig a little coal. But
when we run out of all these things, then we will find out just how
good we really are. - Will Rogers
- Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. - Mohandus K. Gandhi

to next month. Instead, attend the Naglee Park 4th of July
