Union Weekend Events Recap

fall_2010_cleanup_and_greenup

Union United is happy to report that this weekend's events were a great success!! During our fall Clean Up and Green Up event we were again able to completely fill the dumpster with trash, much of which came from an old, dilapidated shed near the park that we were given permission to tear down. Thanks so much to Paul Vidlak, Mike Hoerman, Dave Chipman,Chris Keene and Jim Burbee for their hard work on this project! Be sure to drive by to see how nice it looks! We also removed a couple small trailers of metal for recycling as well as 1 vehicle (Thanks Mark!)

With the help of Metech Recycling, Union residents saved over 300 pounds of electronic waste (computers, tvs, and other small electronics) from polluting our landfills.  Also, thanks to a grant from the Sarpy/Cass County Health Department
and partnership with TO Haas of Lincoln, we were able to offer free tire removal/
recycling to Union residents. This was an amazing success, collecting over 150 tires
that will be recycled responsibly and reused in construction and many other projects! Thanks again to the volunteers, especially Union and Nebraska City youth who helped with the litter clean up of the 3-mile stretch of Highway 34 that Union United has adopted. If you haven't had a chance to see our sign, check it out just west of town. And finally, perhaps our biggest success of the weekend, thanks so much to Patti and Butch Hardbarger, Ruth and Max Hollar, Brittany Kurtzer, and Marcy Wagner for their organization and hard work at the Henderson auction selling concessions. Their efforts raised almost $900 for Union United. Your dedication to our projects is invaluable! And special thanks to the Henderson's for giving Union United this opportunity. So as you can see, we have a lot to be proud of. Just a reminder that there will be no Union United meeting this Thursday, but we will meet again next week (Sept. 23) at the ALA Hall, 7:00pm to continue with our planning for the park gazebo and landscaping. Thanks again to everyone who came out to volunteer and support us this weekend. We couldn't do this without you!! -Debbie
