Help from Overseas: something to be thankful for
|
||||||||||||||
|
You never know where your volunteers might come from: next door, down the street, around the block, from a nearby neighborhood. You don't often get help from overseas. On Saturday, September 11th, four residents from Old North Knoxville were joined by five members of the UT Men's Club Volleyball team. The focus of the cleanup was the fence rows along the sides of the future park in the 400 block of East Oklahoma. Starting at 8:30 a.m., the volunteers worked until about 11 a.m., accomplishing the third major cleanup project for the future small urban park. Two piles of vines, dead tree limbs, brush, and other unsightly obstacles were piled at the back of the park site. Cathy Shuck, Catherine Suddarth, Tim Sparer, and David Booker of Old North Knoxville were joined by Chris Collet, Jeremy Soomagne, Maxdur Lohanor, Adam Tebbe, and Adama BA of the UT Men's Club Volleyball team.
It is not often you get volunteers from overseas, from countries like France, as well as other parts of the US to come and do the labor necessary to begin turning these once abandoned lots from eyesores into pleasing additions to
ONK. Old North News want to thank all those who have volunteered for each of three cleanups and for those who are taking turns mowing the lots. There are still other things that will need to be done, so if you haven't yet volunteered, you'll have a chance.
