Rich's Friday Blowout

One of our veteran forum members , AIM , is making a plea to all of you for a very good cause and I thought it was important enough to put on the front page for those of you who still dont visit our forums . here is your chance to do something good .

This is her post in the forum :

"Hey folks,
My wonderful child has taken on a new project. He is trying to clean up the park near us where he and his friends play baseball. He has been in touch with our Mayor and also has notified the newspapers(there should be an article in tomorrows CT Post about his efforts). We spent almost the entire day down there on Sunday, repairing fences, picking up litter, weeding the infield. There is still a lot to be done and my boy wants to start some fundraising to raise the money for new fences, swings for the playground and equipment for the field. On Sunday, August 22nd we will be holding a can and bottle drive. So, come on I know some of you MUST have some empties just lying around the house that you don't have time to return yourself. Why not donate them for a good cause? The park is in Ansonia, so if anyone lives close by and wants to donate . "

There was also an article in the Connecticut Post about it and here it is if you want to read up on it . And If you decide to go , say hello to Aim and tell her your a faithful DC reader .

Ok , now that that's out of the way ...All I have to say is God Bless the Olympics !

Ok , lets go ...
