A letter from the Executive Director:
I just wanted to thank each of you that participated in our “Pickup Paulding Day”. It was a huge success! We were able to clean up several miles on the Silver Comet Trail and we filled up a roll off container at the illegal
dump site off of Lane road. With the help of SORBA and COMCAST much was accomplished at Mt. Tabor
Park on the new bike trails. Thanks to the Church of Later Day Saints the New Hope Cemetery looks great.
We had just over 200 volunteers come out for our event and that is a new record for Keep Paulding Beautiful! T
This could have never happened without your dedication and I am truly grateful to each of you. We still have a
couple of events to round out the “Great American Cleanup” and I hope each of you will join us next month.
With much gratitude,
Tommy Leonard Q.R.P.
