Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from all of us at Green Lake Litter Patrol. We had 6 hardy patrollers out today: Jud, Teri, Gene, Peter, Issa & Todd. I am so proud of all of the people who have joined us for a litter patrol in 2012. The park is the cleanest that I have ever seen it. Our hard work is paying off. The goal is to expand these patrols to parks throughout Seattle. Please contact us if you would like to join the team! I want to thank Tommy from the Boat House Coffee Shop. His warm smile and hot coffee hit the spot today. Have a joyous & restful Holiday!

Boat House Coffee Stop!
December weather does not stop our weekly patrols at Green Lake park. I feel so honored that our incredible volunteers jump in, search out and pick up so much litter each week. Especially the debris along the edge of the lake that effects the wildlife and water quality. We are appreciative that Peet’s Coffee and Tea gives our team a hot beverage each week. Please support Peet’s! Thanks to Alex, David, Vicky, Alex, Veronica & Todd for a great job today!
Super Crew 12-9-12
The Sun was shining as we started our litter patrol today at Green Lake Park. Jud, Peter, Gene & Todd made a good crew and picked up 11 full bags of bottles, cans, plastic and misc debris. Our effort to clean out the areas hidden by summer foliage is producing great results. We are pulling out litter that has been in and around the lake for a long time. It really feels good each week to make an impact in the park. Especially with all the birds that live around the lake. We hope to see you next week!
Jud, Peter & Gene
Today turned out to be a splendid day for our post Thanksgiving Litter Patrol. Foggy but no rain! We had a group of 7 patrollers join in for a very productive outing. We picked up 12 full bags of litter. It is still amazing to pick up so many bags each week. Please come out and join us each and every Sunday! You will be glad you did!
Gene & Johnson
Well, the rains finally fell on our litter patrol at Green Lake. We have had over 65 weeks of patrols and this was our first downpour day. Not too bad for living in Seattle. We had a great group of 12-6th graders ( soccer team) and their parents endure the rains and had a great time learning how to operate the pickers while searching for litter. Big thanks to Coach Robb for getting the crew out. Peet’s Coffee & Tea spoiled us with hot chocolate and whip cream. Thanks Peet’s! Come and join us Thanksgiving weekend.
Rainy Day Patrol
Jud & Teri
We will be back & we invite others to show up Sunday mornings at 9:00. Thanks, Todd, for organizing this!
