As my old NCCC team, Fire II, used to say. "Go Goat or Go Home!" which is comparable to "Getting things done" or "Get 'er Dun" or "Go Big or Go Home!" or.. well, you get the idea and on July 14th, 2012 that is exactly what 10 dedicated AmeriCorps Alums did kicking off the Knoxville Chapter's first ever service event. 20+ hours of service later and over 200lbs of waste removed from Goose Creek, AmeriCorps Alums dove into service in a big way and we are looking forward to building on this momentum.

Rain or Shine, Mary Vestal Cleanup Is On Like Donkey Kong!
Tomorrow there is a 50% chance of rain particularly moving into the
afternoon. Because of the recent rain surge, it is possible that
traversing the stream may not be possible for safety reasons. That
said, it is our intent to hold the event tomorrow and do a cleanup in the
aquatic buffer, and throughout Mary Vestal park in the case that the
stream is not navigable. I encourage ya'll to come out rain or shine at
least for a little bit. Make sure to bring your rain gear and lets get
things done. =) Go Goat or Go Home as my old NCCC team used to say.
We will be doing cleanup work in and/or around the stream and possibly throughout the park depending on ambition with a trash inventory.
AND
Conducting a stream walk/visual assessment of the stream.
Gloves, waders, vests, grabbers, water, etc. will be provided. Everyone who attends will get a super awesome surprise ^_^
Thank you everyone,
Sara and I Hope to see you there!
