 Last Cleanup of 1999

In the summer heat Overmountain Chapter members and Roan Mountain citizens worked hard on the last cleanup of 1999.  Their efforts removed three pickup loads of trash from the Doe River and its tributaries.  After the grunting and groaning ended the volunteers enjoyed a picnic lunch of hot dogs and watermelon.
During the social hour following the clanup Ken Chase and Bob Burleson got their heads together and plotted the inclusion of a Roan Moutain Citizens group in future cleanups.
It should be noted that Jere Houser and his son, Lance, fished in the park that afternoon.  Jere was rewarded with an 18" rainbow (his measurement).  Who says good deeds go un-rewarded?
Upcoming Chapter activities for September include workdays on the 20th at Hampton Creek to assist TWRA with Brook Trout stocking and on the 25th at Limestone Cove for the completion of handicapped access trails.  Your participation would qualify as a "good deed". Remember Jere's fish.
