Thank You Spring Roadside Cleanup Crew!!
Spring Roadside Cleanup 05-15-2021
A big “thank you” goes out to the team of 14 who came out Saturday, May 15, 2021 to help clean-up the 1.3 mile Adopt-A-Highway stretch of road! Despite the early rain, the group collected 23 bags of garbage along both sides of Highway 70W from Mercer Lake Road to Kilawee Road. Last fall, we collected 15 bags, so more litter bugs around the last 7 months to keep us busy! The highway sure looked better by the time we got done, so thanks to everyone that helped to keep the Northwoods looking good!
The Fall Roadside Cleanup is currently planned for Saturday, October 9, 2021.
Our volunteers were:
Jan Homuth
Sharon Harkins
Gloria Tamms
Ed Marshall
Wendell Koplitz
Kathy Koplitz
Al Matthews
Keith Warning
Jim Nicholson
Eileen Ryan
John Ryan
Jerry Wakefield
Jim Heller*
Ron Mihm
* Special thanks to Jim for playing “garbage man” helping to collect bags while riding on the tailgate of my truck!
Club Get-Together/Picnic
On Saturday, May 22, 2021 there will be a club get-together/picnic (not a meeting) at the Minocqua Sports Complex on highway 70W from 12p-4p. Lunch will be provided – but you will need to bring your own beverage.
The picnic is strictly a get-together for our club members and their families and will not be structured with games. If you would like to play any outdoor games, please bring your own equipment (i.e., volleyball, badmitten, baseball, soccer ball, etc.)
This sports complex is an outdoor venue with a covered pavilion that has picnic tables and public restrooms. A childrens park and two sand volleyball courts are on-site and there is ample parking. If you would prefer to not use the picnic tables, you should feel free to bring a lawn chair.
RSVP by Thursday, 5/13 to minocquaforestriders@gmail.com.
