GLEN SPEY, NY — Park beautification organizer Linda Hazen presented the Town of Highland with the Town of Highland Beautification Group’s latest Sullivan Renaissance competition win, the “Maintenance Judges’ Choice Award” plaque and its $1,000 award.
Some 21 local families, three organizations and three individuals all volunteered for the “Day in the Park” program.
Volunteers included the Mohan, Terry, Mellan, McCann-Ouelette, Siegel, Dutcher, Smetaniuk, Kearney, Reiser, Dunker, Hazen, Gingold, Carr, Kaufman, Brown, Krupka, Flieger-Grauschenhauer, Suppa, Bisland, Bizjak and McKean families.
Organizational support came from the Lumberland Lions Club, Lumberland Seniors and the Eldred Faculty Association.
Participants signed up to maintain a minimum of one flower bed one day per week, to water and weed and deadhead as needed, in the months of June, July and August.
The minimum volunteer time needed in total for eight beds over that period amounted to 52 hours.
Some 48 sixth-graders added 16 total man-hours, and 38 individual volunteers put in an additional 762 hours.
