"We want to recognize all particiâ€" pants of Pitchâ€"In 94, whenever they parâ€" ticipated, and include them in the reward system," stated Buchanâ€"Terrell. Groups or families which have already particiâ€" pated should call him at 847â€"8793 or David Gimza at 847â€"9394 with their report (area picked? number of people, andbagg) «> Groups and individuals who have already picked up in their area are welâ€" come to join GARA on Sunday for their well deserved refreshments. For examâ€" ple, Maggie Newlove and her erstwhile group from The Arboretum went out on Saturday, May 14th, as did some of the Glen Abbey Community Church famiâ€" lies. A couple of Cub and school groups did their Pitchâ€"In last week, too. * Return to Old Abbey Lane Park next to Abbey Lane School to have a hot dog, drink, and goodie, and to claim draw prizes; "Our goal is to establish Pitchâ€"In as an effective fundraising vehicle for Glen Abbey community groups.â€"A group will be able to raise a substantial amount for just two hours of pickingâ€"up trash. Ideally, each group will adopt a particuâ€" lar area, and a sponsor will get credit, with the group, for cleaning up that same area each year. We‘re well along that path now," Buchanâ€"Terrell said. Cleanâ€"up details remain the same: * Come to Abbey Lane School on Old Abbey Lane between 1 and 1:30 p.m. to get gloves, bags, refreshment ticket, pickup area, and garbage bag drop point; * Proceed to designated area to pick up trash; "We have substantial awards for the best group participation and things like Blue Jay tickets, Avalon and Abbey Arms vouchers, Tâ€"shirts, and bird feedâ€" ers as draw prizes." While the prizes and cash awards help to attract attention to this event, many groups and families just want to contribute something to the improvement of their local environment. "As we originally hoped, every regâ€" istered community group which particiâ€" pates will receive a cash reward, plus a group photo. Individuals will be eligible for draws of merchandise and cash. And, the Town of Oakville has given us 75 rink or pool passes to give away," Buchanâ€"Terrell explained. This rain delay has a silver lining â€" it allows GARA to announce that its sponâ€" sors have contributed over $1,000 in cash and $500 other prizes, all of which will be distributed to groups and individâ€" "Even though many diehard people came out anyhow last Sunday, we didn‘t want to risk anyone getting muddy or slipping into the swollen creeks," stated Grant Buchanâ€"Terrell, Pitchâ€"In ©94 Chair. "This event can be a lot of fun if it‘s a decent day, so we‘re better off reâ€" scheduling to next Sunday instead of going ahead with fewer people who will get soaked to their skin." Areas to be cleaned up include: St. Matthew‘s and St. Ignatius of Loyola school yards; Glen Abbey, Heritage Way and Windrush parks; and sections of McCraney Creek, Taplow Creek and Indian Ridge trails. Last Sunday‘s rain has forced the rescheduling of the Glen Abbey Residents Association‘s (GARA) Pitchâ€" In ©94 cleanâ€"up to this Sunday, May 22nd.
