Sucess: Bayou Bienvenue Trash Bash 2008

On Saturday, October 18, AWCC member Gary Decossas and 10 volunteers from the St.Bernard 4-H Junior Leadership Club helped in clearing a 1/2-mile stretch of Bayou Bienvenue! Within 3 hours, ten volunteers pulled nearly 31 contractor bags worth of trash out of a relatively small section of Bayou Bienvenue. Not only were there lots of trash bags, but the volunteers also pulled out three tires, two truck bumpers, a microwave oven and a large piece of plexiglass! We thank the St.Bernard 4-H Junior Leader Club for helping out, as well as the St.Bernard Parish Sheriff's Department for slowing down traffic alongside the bayou!
