The One Hour at a Time Gang’s schedule for Saturday.
Hi kids:
Hope all is well. When I was watching the Oliver Hazard Perry coming in on Monday was at the open lot facing Ten Pound Island. It is a mess. Thought a good idea to go over and clean this up on Saturday. To find the lot go down Commercial Street to the end. We need to keep this spots clean before the trash goes into the ocean.
When: Saturday: August 13, 2016
Time: 8:00 – 9:00
Where: Empty lot at the end of Commercial Street
Please bring gloves and I will supply the bags.
Thanks all
Good Morning Gloucester 
Well said Donna once it get’s into the ocean becomes even more impacting for life on both fronts sea land! :-O Dave
I remember also mention something about Cig butt’s many fires are cause by these tossed carelessly – along road ways. The ones that really get you are when they are stopped because the cigarette butt bounced off the police car window. I remember a deputy friend of mine out west had the rural east mountains where fire danger is more so and asked the man to pull his ashtray out never used. Asked him if he always through them out of car? No answer but the fine at time was $150.00 for littering then 1970’s regards of size thing it’s much higher now. $500.00.
