Townwide cleanup draws 89 volunteers; committee discusses prizes and outreach
Summary
Organizers reported 89 participants at the April townwide cleanup and weighed a total reported as 1,339; the committee discussed prize allocation to top groups and next-year outreach improvements.
Committee members recapped the April 25 townwide cleanup during the May 5 Green Efforts Committee meeting. Organizers recorded 89 participants who took part in the day-of activities. The meeting transcript lists a measured total of 1,339 (reported as the weighed total) and a separate truck total of roughly 2,200; organizers said heavy items and bottles were not fully captured in the weighed total.
Committee members reviewed prize logistics and identified top groups and individual collectors for awards. Named top groups in the meeting included Miss Porter, a group labeled "Bubby Tube," National Honor Society and the Farmington Land Trust. Committee members agreed to confirm group membership and adviser contacts (for high school groups), and to coordinate prize distribution and social-media publicity after verifying who was eligible as an individual or group.
Discussion turned to outreach and future recruitment: members said the library and Explore Farmington social channels had been used in prior publicity but recommended expanding outreach beyond social media, strengthening email or town-wide notification and exploring local partners (medical-office buildings and neighborhood contests) to boost participation.
Next steps: committee staff will share more detailed participant lists and clarify prize assignment; members asked the meeting organizer to follow up with the National Honor Society adviser to confirm group membership before prizes are finalized.
