It's My Park Day

Friends of Emerald Lake Host Clean Up

Saturday, September 10th, 2011

8am - Noon

Emerald Lake Park behind Mt Creek Library

You are invited to join us at Emerald Lake shore Saturday, September 10 between 8 and 12 or at another time this week-end. The very low water gives us the opportunity to pick up bottles and other trash that have been submerged there for a long time. Call Wayne Dye if you have any questions: 214-693-0919 or Sally at 972-533-9555.

Wear sun protection and older protective shoes. Bags and gloves will be available on Saturday in 3 locations:

1. Outside the entrance of Mt. Creek Library before hours and just inside the door after the library opens.
2. From Mt. Creek Library: take sidewalk down to lakefront and the 1^st lakeside park bench.
3. From Playground end: find bags on picnic table between playground and vollyball court.

Pick up a couple of white bags and a pair of gloves and carry them around along the sidewalk to the furthest partially filled tied bag and start your trash pick up from there. When partially filled (too big to fill), tie ends together and leave below the edge of the sidewalk where you ended your pickup for later collection.

If you choose to clean-up the undeveloped side of the lake follow above guidelines, leaving your bag near the shore where you ended for collection by canoe later Saturday.

You can also collect trash along the tree lines in the park if you prefer and leave bags off the edge of the sidewalk or next to the nearest trash bin.

Thank you for considered helping in this community service effort.

Sincerely, Wayne and Sally Dye, Friends of Emerald Lake
