Wesley Chapel Coastal Cleanup

Boy Scout troop 148 and hundreds of Wesley Chapel volunteers participated in the nationwide Coastal Clean up Day on Saturday, September 20. Scouting groups, families, civic groups and youth clubs were out and about helping in the effort. Site captains Michelle Barbour and Deb Hamilton handed out trash bags and instructions. Wesley Chapel groups collected a half-ton of trash last year and countywide 1,250 volunteers collected 15.25 tons of trash. Even though Wesley Chapel is not close to the coast, litter and debris finds its way into the waterways, degrading the environment and killing wildlife. The long term benefit is to help keep pollutants out of our water supply. Groups or individuals in other parts of the county may contact Pasco County Recycling Coordinator Jennifer Seney at (727) 847-8041 for locations of clean ups in other parts of the county.

Troop 148 Boy Scout’s (sponsored by Saint Mark the Evangelist Church) Demetrius Berkeley of John Long Middle School and Nick Novatne of Wiregrass Ranch High School found various items and as Scouts, know exactly what to do with a the ripped up American Flag found along State Route 56 in Wesley Chapel and planned on performing the ceremony when their clean up work was completed.

Our Lady of the Rosary Conference’s First Friends of the Poor Walk

Hundreds put on their tennis shoes and hit the sidewalk for a worthy cause, to reduce poverty in our community. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Our Lady of the Rosary Conference’s First Friends of the Poor Walk was held September 20, on the grounds of the church, located at Collier Parkway in Land O’Lakes.  The Walk was held to celebrate the Society’s 175 years of service to the poor, and to encourage kindhearted people to become Friends of the Poor. Moneys raised on behalf of registered walkers will benefit those most in need in the community.  The Walk, in conjunction with Cruisin’ for Christ Car Show was a fun-filled way that the Church and our community can come together in support of the less fortunate. The need is year round and for more information about how you can help call Pat at 949-6094 or 545-0409.

Land O'Lakes Coastal Cleanup

Cub Scout Pack 323 and hundreds of Land O’Lakes volunteers participated in the nationwide Coastal Clean up Day on Saturday, September 20. Scouting groups, families, civic groups and youth clubs were out and about helping in the effort.  Site captains Betsy Crisp and Kurt Conover handed out trash bags and instructions. Crisp and Conover have helped with this local even since it began in 1991. It is a great opportunity to get to know your neighbors!”  “It is a lot of hard work, but very rewarding and we make it even more exciting by offering sort of a block party after with food and prizes — a great way to end the day.” 

This is all made possible by donations from many local sponsors.  SunTrust Bank, Taylor Rental, Hungry Harry’s Famous Barbecue, McDonalds, Sweetbay Supermarket, as well as others have helped to make this event a big success (many have participated the entire 17 years).  Lutz-Land O’ Lakes Women’s Club volunteers help coordinate registration and door prizes.

 Girls Scout Troop 1290 helped out picking up garbage along State Route 54 in Land O’Lakes at the Annual Coastal Cleanup September 20. Recycling is a year round activity and for more information contact Jennifer Seney, Pasco’s new Recycling Coordinator at 727-847-8041
