Chaplin Pride Month--April 2012

[Chris Komuves]

The Chaplin Conservation Commission is sponsoring a Chaplin Pride Month for the Month of April this year!  Our main event will be the Chaplin Cleanup Day, but we will also have instructional walks of Chaplin Street, the Chaplin Street Cemetery, and Garrison Field.  

Look at our web page for up-to-date information, as we may be adding additional events, and please consider signing up for the cleanup day.  If we all work together on this, we can make a big difference for our town.

Hi Chris, I had some trouble getting this to send to the address listed so if you wouldn't mind helping us to help I would be glad to do some road clean up.

Liz Marsden and Steve Laume would like to do N, Bedlam from the 4 corners to #66 and also Palmer from N. Bedlam to the Garrison sand bank entrance.

 

It would be wonderful if there came a day when this activity was un-nessisary, Steve.

Thanks Steve!  Yes, it would be wonderful if this was no longer necessary, and it really bugs me that it is.  But until thoughtless, self-centered people are no longer around (and/or we can make fines for littering astronomically high), this is an unfortunate reality.  If we can get enough people to step up and help out with this though, as you have, then we can at least stand our ground against the trash, and maybe that example will help at least a little, with guilting some of the trash offenders with having a little more respect for their surroundings.

Laurie and I and our Grandchildren – Jaden and Nicolette will be happy to clean trash along the entire length of Natchaug street.

May I ask who is providing the history of the church?

This is something I have done for the school many times in the past.

Pat,

If you go to the URL in the email I sent, http://chris.komuves.org/misc/chaplin_pride2012.html , you'll see the full schedule.  Jean Gibbons is doing the Chaplin Street History walk.  I'm sure she'd welcome any additional commentary on the church.

My kids and I did the first clean up quite a few years ago.  There was far more accumulated junk than there is today.  The kids had a good time riding the wagon pulled behind the tractor.  It became kind of a game to see how much stuff we could fine.  I doubt any of the kids who have ever helped out would ever have had any urge to litter.

Steve.

Hi Chris,

                I didn’t get to go to John Meyer’s Natchaug River presentation, but I do have a huge curriculum unit on the Natchaug River Watershed that I developed for our sixth grade service project, WATERWORKS in Chaplin. It would be a good companion to John’s video. It includes many field studies, interactive games and integrated lessons about water quality and the history of the Natchaug River. I’d be happy to team up with Juan Sanchez or offer family activities from the curriculum which feature the water quality of the Natchaug River.
