The Fox Mill Estates Homeowners Association (FMEHA) is trying to organize a Neighborhood Clean-Up Week (Aug 16-22) . While the neighborhood is in good condition, there is trash, broken glass, and plastic scattered in our natural environment.
Specifically, the following areas in Fox Mill Estates need our attention:
- Viking/Kettering Tot Lot and gazebo (Crew Leader: Cindy Workosky)
- Donald Seay playground and gazebo (Crew Leader: John Cantrell & Family)
- Fox Mill Pool parking lot and around tennis courts (Crew Leader: Kristi Bordovsky)
- Pinecrest Pool parking lot and around tennis courts (Crew Leader: Blake Fox)
- Four main sections of our creek:
- Kettering to the bottom of Tewksbury (Crew Leader: Josh Anderson)
- Kettering to Quincy Adams
- Donald Seay Playground to Fairfax County Parkway (Crew Leader: Trish Atkins)
- Donald Seay Playground towards Fox Mill Road
- Sledding hill/pipeline area (Crew Leader: Brian Pellerin)
- Wendell Holmes pond
- Fox Mill Elementary School parking lots, field and playground (Crew leader: Seth Edwards)
We need 8 people (crew leaders) to sign up to organize a small group of families (your neighbors) to take on one of the 11 locations that need our attention. The job of the crew leader includes;
- Step 1: Pick a project area from the list above and select a date, and time for the clean-up. Email xxxxx and we will post the project on the FMEHA website and promote it for you.
- Step 2: Secure a clean-up crew by reaching out to family, friends, and neighbors. We will also promote the projects on the website and will help to secure additional crew members for you.
- Step 3: Encourage your crew members to bring garbage bags and gloves and get to work
- Step 4: Showcase your amazing work by posting pictures on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/FoxMillEstates/ , twitter at
https://mobile.twitter.com/FMEHA1 or send pictures of you and your crew to president@fmeha.org and we will post on the FMEHA website.
Please help us keep our “back yard” clean and healthy. We think the duties of a Crew Leader will take about an hour of your time and the clean up project itself less than 1.5 hours total.
