WELCOME!
23 SEP 2008:
Howdy Creek Folks,
Hope you had this on your calendar from the last email, but just in case here is a reminder that THIS SUNDAY is the WILLIS RUN CLEANUP! We will meet near the old BOYS' CLUB POOL on North Newberry Street in the City of York. This is right off of Parkway Boulevard and across from Kiwanis Lake. Just look for the signs to direct you. The cleanup runs from 10 am to 5 pm. Try to make it out for this – it's our last big event of the year.
The area nearest our registration table is also the site of an upcoming native plant buffer that we will be working on with the YMCA. Come check out the beautiful native dogwoods in this area, and the cute little muskrat I saw today. :)
Remember to wear old clothes, long pants and shoes you can get wet. There will be some waders available. As always, gloves, bags, and lunch are provided. Give us a call if you have any questions.
And thanks to all the boaters that came out for the Historic Codorus Creek Boat Parade, and the volunteers for our table at Yorkfest. We had the best turnout in years, a total of 18 boats in the Parade. This year we also got to take 3 kids from the house next to our boat launch at Belvidere. They LOVED it and asked when we'd be back to take them on another trip. By the way, this year's event also really sparked interest in getting a small parking lot put in at the launch. I'm working on some grants and having meetings with the city officials to make this happen! Thanks again for keeping CCIP going! :)
See you along the Codorus,
