Biggest thanks should go to the person who wrote the below letter, Melissa Steele Subject: A Rose Creek Thank You! Dear Friends, Words are inadequate for me to express my graditude to all of you for your participation in my Rose Creek clean-up project. I am honored that you thought enough me to listen to my request in the first place, then chose to become involved, step up, and make an effort to make a difference. And make a difference you did! Together we picked up 85 pounds of trash, and a combined 220 pounds of glass, plastic, and cans, ALL recycleable! How 'bout that!!! The most important thing we did together, however, was raise awareness in our community and in our own hearts.
