Friends,
Friday and Saturday were phenomenal. A huge thanks to Salado High School for allowing their High School students to participate in the Spring Salado Clean-Up sponsored by Keep Salado Beautiful. Working in various places, they made a difference in Salado. Their hard work and energy accomplished much. For instance, they completely did an extreme-makeover in the flower beds of the newly refurbished Police Department Building.
It was a great lesson for the Village and the High School Students. For the Village, the strength and intellect of our youth is not the future, but now. For the Students, part of a formal education is learning the importance of serving and giving back. We are very fortunate to have such a fine school system and Village that recognizes both.
Saturday, there were numbers of people working various locations like Tablerock, College Hill, Downtown, and the Municipal Building. Limb cutting, trimming, painting, planting, and cleaning were evident everywhere. When our community comes together it comes together in a way that makes us shine.
A tremendous thank you to all the Service Organizations that gave of their time and money to make Salado beautiful. As always, you prove that you are a Service Organization because you serve giving of your best.
A thank you to Sanctuary's Madison Inselmann for cooking lunch on the grill. Sanctuary furnished the meal for a bunch of hungry workers. Sanctuary, your thoughtfulness and wanting to be an active part of Salado is greatly appreciated.
Finally to Susan Terry and her committee, you made it happen! Your organization was superb. Your extra-mile-effort made a ho-hum Saturday spectacular! Thank you.
