...I spotted Adopt-a-Block volunteers swarming several commercial areas on Friday. The tidy-up pace continued the following day. At the request of CinB, district park staff, farmers barket volunteers and local Morning Club Rotarians joined with 80 young people from throughout Rotary District 5050 in a four-hour blitz to remove invasive plants and other nasty objects from Lane Creek Park.
Rotarians provided transportation for youth from the Rotary Youth Leadership Award program (RYLA) from Zajac Ranch to Lane Creek Park. These youth, aged 18 to 24, were spending four days at Zajac in leadership training. RYLA is the same organization that brought youth to power wash the North Railway Avenue commercial area in 2008, and to labour at the Mission Wetlands in 2009. Farmers market members, with assistance from Dressed to Grill, provided hot dogs and other treats to sustain the workers' energy.
