Unless EBR DPW shows up today, we will need volunteers to help move the pile of trash we pulled from Bayou Manchac and deposited at the foot of the Hwy 73...
I'll talk to my Dad and see if he can help me go out there tonight. He has a little trailer. Where can we bring it to? I will email y'all and let you know....

Cancel that everyone. I just received word that EBR picked up the trash at 10:00 today. Thanks EBR! Sent from my iPad...
This is embarrassing, but it looks like we're still needed to move the trash pile. My earlier post about it being picked up came from emails from two people...
I tried several times but was unsuccessful in reaching Councilman Boe's aide but did finally leave an extensive message pointing out how embarrassing the lack...

The 3-acre lot. Ascension can get it from there. I'd thought about putting it on the "curb" at hwy 73, but that still has it in front of the same homeowner's...
Apparently I missed the discussion of the mission statement. Below is one I jotted down a few months back. In the paragraph I saw at the meeting, I think the...

Just received a call from EBR DPW that a crew is in route. A crew was sent yesterday, but misunderstood the request. They picked up litter along the highway up...

Thank you EBR DPW. James Kelly and the DPW crew just pulled out. The trash pile is gone. He gave me his card and asked that we call him when we do another...

That is wonderful. Over the years, EBR has shown some indifference to what’s being washed downstream (in many ways), so thank you EBR very much. As a former...

Yes I know we decided on the mission statement, but Juliette brings up an interesting point. The mission statement doesn't spell out exactly what we need to...
My impression of mission statements is that they are intended to be a general summary of the group's interests, goals, its reason for existing. On Wednesday...
I agree that the mission statement is fine as is. "maintain and enhance ecological integrity" says it all. I do think there is value to writing out all of our...

Frenz, The Mission Statement defines who we are. Arriving at the one we have was not too painful. We do need to develop a strategic plan including goals,...
