As part of our on-going family Adopt-a-Highway program, we always agree to partake in the annual Trash Off which is usually held in April. This year it will take place on the 10th. I hope many family members and friends are able to join us in the fun and follies which is a given during these clean ups. Lots and lots of fun. We usually break down into groups of 4 with at least 2 people per group - this helps us finish up rather quickly. We start at 8 AM sharp to avoid heavy traffic and to catch the better part of the cool mornings thus avoiding the awful heat which is prone to west Texas.
This program began as a way to help keep our Texas highways clean but especially as a way to honor and to remember my nephew, Philip Guzman Jr. Philip's birthday (June 13th) is another annual trash pick up day for our family-based Adopt-a-Highway program. We try to either get the clean up completed on his birthday or as close to it as possible. Last year my niece, Erica (Philip's sister), married Nick on Philip's birthday (06-13-09) so we had to perform the clean up on a different day.
This year Philip's birthday is on a Sunday so I am sure that my sister, Eva, who is another group leader, will want to have the clean up on Saturday 06-12-10. I will post a reminder later on with the data.
For now, please mark-off your schedules and calendars so that you may join us on Saturday, April 10th, 2010. Food & more fun after the clean-up!!!
