To eat our dinner, we had to sit at a table that was "technically" reserved for somebody else. I'd like to thank the Eggars family....
Inside the old decrepit barge -- everybody who has ever helped Living Land & Waters is encouraged to sign on the wall. After all these years -- the writing goes on forever...
There are shelves filled with the trash they've removed from the rivers. Toys, artificial limbs, bowling balls...motorcycle helmets....actual MOTORCYCLES...
60,000 old tires, 9 actual motorcycles, 140+ water heaters...
As part of the fund-raiser, there was an art auction...
The volunteers were all wearing these snazzy t-shirts. You've gotta love the sentiment. "Results, not Rhetoric"...
In the fine print, you can read the exact amounts that have been removed...
141 Refrigerators?? Really??
Here's my point. One person makes a difference. One person can change the world. You don't have to be rich, and you don't have to have your own television show. You just need to have a passion....to care about something. Something that matters.
Thanks again, Chad Pregracke...you are my hero. I wish you were running for office...
