Thanks to all the Greenfield Volunteers

Greenfield had another successful Roadside Roundup on April 21. This event relies on a large number of volunteers and the Greenfield Conservation Commission would like to thank everyone who participated.  Many residents in town collected nearly 200 bags of trash and were rewarded with a ham and bean dinner hosted by the Greenfield Woman’s Club. We raffled off 21 prizes donated by local merchants.  When you have some money to spend, please consider supporting our local businesses. The Planning Board provided ice cream for all and presented a program on what a heritage district might mean for Greenfield. To help us prepare for the Roundup, the GIVers once again provided the labor hours needed to prepare our advance mailing. Town employees Catherine Shaw and Carol Burgess also assisted us. Carol graciously opened the Recycling Center on a Sunday. Thank you Carol and all the volunteers who made the 2013 Roadside Roundup a big success.
