Bonnie at Jackson Point



Thanks Bonnie for joining us this year and helping keep the lake clean! Enjoy that whistle, and remember second time you get the shirt, luckly NOT off my back!!!


Marvin "digs in" on Saturday!, Thanks Marvin, we forgive you for missing the January cleanup, "just kidding", we appreciate EVERY time you clean the lake.

Better weather than last month




If you scroll down and compare the surface of the lake from last month you notice that this month it was almost perfect weather, in fact all we were missing was the Sunshine.

March maybe???

Marge in Charge



Marge does great work on SSSS in fact it's hard to KEEP her in the kayak!

Paddling in the rain





OK not a lot of trash was on the actual surface of the water, but the temptation to paddle during the rain was to great to pass up.

Most storms include lighting however this was pure rain and wind and in fact it was warmer paddling (due to the skirt) than it was unloading and launching the kayak.


Remember if it ice's on Sunday meet us a Flag Pole hill for some downhill kayak racing!
 

Can you identify this trash??? Actully can you identify who helped round up the refuse??? If you can please give us a call at 214 669 1663 we have a little gift for your efforts in keeping the lake clean. In fact during any second Saturday your welcome to join us on the ground or on the water to help collect the trash. We'll provide the grabbers, the trash and recycle bags and if your adventureous we let you clean up from a kayak too! Join us at Jackson Point on the West side of Whiterock Lake and help us get "trashed" once a month at the lake!

OMG!!! A Big thanks to Fran for cleaning up on what will be the worst day of the year for cleaning up! Yes it was raining, yes it was cold too, and yes the wind was biting cold and guess what, despite all that Fran still takes advantage of all the trash being blown/floated up on shore, and during the ice storm continues to volunteer her time and energy into keeping the lake clean. In fact we had three stalwart souls that braved the weather and collected several bags of trash and recycleables along with some drift wood and a couple of balls to boot! And remember next you think it too wet to go outside or to cold and windy, it's OK to think it but please don't say out loud it to Fran!
