West Falmouth recently had a clean sweep of winter litter during Falmouth's Beautification Week. It was made possible by volunteers who braved the poison ivy and bugs earlier this month. The areas "swept of litter" were Old Dock Road, Nashawena, most of Quaker Rd., West Falmouth Highway, the approaches to Route 28 at Brick Kiln Rd. and Thomas Landers Rd., the ball park on Blacksmith Shop Rd., Chapoquit Road, many of the beach dunes, the traffic island at Brick Kiln/28A, a portion of Brick Kiln Rd. near Christ Lutheran Church and the West Falmouth Post Office borders.

Volunteers made this sweep possible by cleaning up small sections of these areas and disposing of the litter. We are extremely grateful to each volunteer for their cooperation, efforts, and enthusiasm-- Avis Gross, Sue Griglun, Christina Laurie, Bob McNeil, Barbara and John Weyand, Susan Moran, Martha Ross, Heather and John Re, Cynthia Lambert, Harriet Crocker, Doris and Frank Pinhack, the women of Emerson House, members of Christ Lutheran Church, Tim McIntyre, Betsy Gladfelter, James Vieira, Nancy and Dave Twitchell, and Ralph Stephen. A special thank you to Martha Asendorf for landscaping the traffic island at Brick Kiln and 28A. We couldn't have made such a difference in our village roadsides without everyone's participation. Our apologies if we overlooked any volunteer's name.

Many thanks,

Milt and Sue Williamson, West Falmouth coordinators
