Lincoln Hound Society K9 Clean-Team Efforts Well Received
The Lincoln Hound Society's Canine Clean Team, part of the city-wide PRNS ( Parks & Rec Dept) Anti-Litter Campaign has received response from the general public and the school administration that has been remarkable.
LHS members who have been picking up trash at Lincoln, Hoover and Hester schools, have been approached by other dog walkers, ball players and the general citizen who have voiced their appreciation of our efforts to help keep our community litter-free. On several occasions, people have joined in on the trash pick-up in a spontaneous response to having our active LHS volunteers present.
On the official side, we have received positive comments directly from the principal, an assistant-principal and the chief facilities custodian about our efforts to keep Lincoln grounds trash free. The students may get their prom after all!
How YOU can help!
We still seek 10 more LHS members who would like to help out on our eco-minded, community service project. Those who join in will receive, free of charge, a city anti-litter kit which includes, bags, safety gloves, a pickup tool and a vest .We have marked the vests with the ID of “Lincoln Hound Society Volunteer,” to help promote visibility of our efforts.
All we ask of our volunteers is to perform a pick-up service – at your own place, pace and time of your own choosing (like when walking your dog) – while wearing the vest to identify our group as a civic minded organization. We also hope to have one monthly group effort, followed by a fun activity.
To join in and help not only the Lincoln Hound Society, but Lincoln High School, the community, the City of San Jose and PRNS, but also the environment, please contact our K9 Clean-Team Chair, Bob Walker at 244-2535.
