THANK YOU TO OUR HIGHWAY CLEAN-UP HEROES!!

Robenette Rosenberger lead another successful Highway Clean-Up at Silver Creek High School on Saturday, March 29th. Roben says: "Thanks to all who came out yesterday to make the Adopt-A-Highway clean up once again a HUGE success! We had awesome weather and had a crew of 19 people which included two new members, John Willoughby and Bob Norcross. Even with the lesser turn-out than usual of people we resorted to 2 people crews and did not get to one section of the highway. But are crews persevered, and we still collected 33 bags of trash and 5 separate piles of large debris. The highway looks amazing. So, give yourselves a BIG pat on the back because we did an awesome job!

Thanks to Panara Bread and Peggy, we had a pretty awesome breakfast. We had some free slightly used biking cleats and other accessories donated by Bill Priddy that some people took home. Then as usual we had some fun/crazy finds on the highway that we all chuckled about. Two took home some cash! One saved a huge painted water turtle from crossing the highway. Good Times!!

I want to tell you, I know I've said this before, but I just have to say it again, it is so nice to see the club come together and give back to the community as we did yesterday. It was truly a rewarding and a fun day hanging out together!

Trashers: Peggy Bannon, Barb Beach, Paul Beach, Ben Blackman, Joe Bolan, David Campbell, Dennis Campbell, Jeanne Garrison-Young, Donnie Gladin, Don Gettelfinger, Ed Gootee, Nancy Lovett, Dan McCoy, John Neichter, Bob Norcross, Leah Ann Poindexter, Mike Poindexter, Robenette Rosenberger, John Willoughby.

Hope to see you all in the fall, November 1st, for the next Adopt-A-Highway clean-up!"

SIW MEMBERS ATTEND OPENING FOR NEW MULTI-USE TRAIL IN BORDEN

On May 2nd, SIW members attended the grand opening ceremony for the new multi-use rail-trail held in Borden, Indiana. This portion of the trail stretches from Deam Lake to New Pekin, paralleling Indiana Route 60. The trail surface is fine crushed limestone outside of the towns. It is fairly smooth but there are some washed-out sections between Borden and New Pekin. There is a bridge out in Borden, but it is easily bypassed on Main Street. The trail is blocked at a bridge just after the 'Welcome to New Pekin' sign.
