Kayak Power Completes 97th Shoreline Cleanup!
By Mike Swope @ www.kayakpower.com
When we started cleaning at Jackson Point in 2003, we thought it would be a good excuse to get out and paddle while doing our part to keep White Rock Lake looking good. Little did we know that we would still be enjoying the lake and still be picking up trash nine years later!
In case you are wondering, that’s 97 Second Saturday Shoreline Spruce Ups thanks to the awesome group of people who answer the call to volunteer with us.
These folks are cut from different cloth — they are hardy, resourceful, and brave — heck, it’s like a great movie, but better. It’s live, it’s in color, and it happens every month. We have had as few as two and as many as 40 volunteers for a cleanup. Over our time at the lake and using an easy number like 10 people per cleanup, that’s easily a 1000 people that have cleaned over the years! Just imagine the number of people that we have influenced by just being at the lake and think about the message we are sending! WOW!
Besides the great job the volunteers do each and ever month, there is the…ahem…TRASH. Check out the picture of January’s haul — not bad for 14 people!
So, if you like a clean lake and park and want to support For the Love of the Lake with more than just words, please join us for on the next Second Saturday Shoreline Spruce Up. It’s fun, it’s good for you and the lake, and mostly we would love to see ya!
