Hoop Pole Creek Cleanup Report

We had 19 Parrot Heads and 2 Parakeets for the morning of March 5th to assist the Coastal Federation with their annual cleanup.  In fact we outnumbered the Federation’s turnout; but no worries, that’s exactly why we were there!  The area was made beautiful again with lots of trash and litter collected.

Afterwards, a bunch from the cleanup enjoyed lunch at The Beach Tavern in Atlantic Beach.  A good time was had by all!
