Becoming a serious Problem

Friends,

The low water crossing is now very shallow.  The gravel on the west side has made the water about a foot deep.  One can just about wade across the creek.  See the picture below.

As the weather warms, more and more families will wade in the creek.  The low water crossing may be dangerous for small children.  As you can see, the water goes through three openings like the one below.  Notice how swiftly the water travels through the opening.  A small child playing in the water near one of the three openings could be swept under the bridge. 

Also notice had dense the weeds are becoming.  Dead animals floating down the creek can be caught in the weeds causing a health problem.

 Trash, caught by the weeds, is already accumulating, again.  

Additionally, see the last picture and the brush at the west opening and the gravel close to the middle opening. 

 Summer is nearly here.  We need to get the gravel  and weeds out of the creek

So far, $11,000 has been raised.  Another $3,500 will bring us to the $18, 000 needed.

Remember for every $1, it will be matched by another $1.00.  In other words:

$1 = $2;  $20 = $40; $100 = $200; etc.

We have the permit and we need just a little financial help to get the job done.

Please make your tax deductible check payable to the Salado Community Foundation, P.O. box 895, Keep Salado Beautiful, Salado, Texas 76571.

Every penny will be used for cleaning creek.

Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.  VR/Skip
