Taking Pride

This morning I went down to the fire station for a cup of coffee and to return the walker I borrowed from one of the fire fighters. One of the members present pointed out a man walking down south Floria Street with a plastic bag in his hand and said, "Watch him. He goes down South Florida Street and around Jawbone Park picking up trash. He does that every morning and I think he lives on the Island."

What a great example of taking pride in our city. It is so easy to say "Why doesn't the city clean up the trash?" It takes someone really committed to making our city great, to pick up trash on their own. Thank you!!!!!!

By example, just think of the impact on our city if every citizen picked up just one item of trash each time they were out and about. There are trash receptacles along Main Street and in all the city parks. Pay it forward, lead by example and take pride in our city.
