The Final Tally

We're done tallying up the final numbers for the Island Wide Cleanup. It is funny to think that several weeks worth of work are going to boil down to a sentence like, "27,070 lbs of trash were picked up by 4,140 volunteers from 61 volunteer groups at 54 adopted sites." I guess that's what this kind of stuff comes down to in the end.

So those are our official numbers. Here they are again:

Number of volunteers participating: 4,140
Weight of trash removed: 27,070 lbs (13.5 tons)
Volunteer groups participating: 61
Number of adopted sites: 54

There are too many people to thank for our success, but my Thank You letter is a start.

No Photos!

I took one photo at the National Geographic Museum before I was told that they don't allow photos. Oops.

Dinky Dock

Who knew that Dinky Dock was built by the Rotary Club? Thanks Rotary Club of Winter Park!

Delegate Sablan

I was in Washington, DC on the day that Delegate Sablan was sworn into office. I didn't get to stay very long though, because I had to rush of to the White House for the signing of the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument.

Oreo's long lost cousin

This guy hangs out at the Mammal Hall in the National Natural History Museum. I forget what he's called, but he reminds me of Oreo.

Happy Birthday, Jeanne

Jeanne Atkinson turned 49 over the weekend. Again.

Friends of the Monument

Friends of the Monument with Council of Environmental Quality Chairman James Connaughton. That guy with the pony tail behind us is someone important, but I forget who he is.
