Many, many thanks to the cleanup crew who braved the heat and humidity today to clean up Sanford Drive! Betsy, Candice, Jeff, Ken, Rusty, Dennis, Isaac and Abby made for a big enough crew to do the whole stretch this time. Next year we'll start the July cleanup earlier in the day and maybe beat the heat.
“I look upon myself as a humanist. I have faith in the goodness of mankind. I’m less enamored of organized religion than I am with the principles of humanity and goodness to mankind and doing the best that you can.”BIG NEWS: Dr. Anthony Fauci is our 2021 Humanist of the Year!
We'll be honoring him and the great work he's done throughout his career at our 80th Annual Conference later this month. Be sure to register now (before it's too late!) to take advantage of everything the conference has to offer. You won't want to miss it!

Just a reminder that the next Highway Cleanup will be Sunday, July 11, 2021, 10:00am-12:00. Meet in the parking lot in front of the playground at Catawba Meadows Park. Hope to see you there!
Future cleanups will be on the second Sundays of October and January. Rain dates will be scheduled on the following Sundays.
And the category is... #PrideMonth!🏳️🌈💃🏿
As a reminder, Pride began as an uprising against police in June 1969. NYC police violently raided Stonewall Inn, a gay club that was refuge for many queer Black and Brown folks. Fed up with the constant police violence against them, they fought back in what came to be known as the historic Stonewall Uprising. The language may have been different then, but the sentiment remains the same: #DefundThePolice.
While we celebrate the colorful beauty of our LGTBQ+ community, we also recognize the discrimination, hate, and violence it continues to face today. We honor those who were lost, love those who are still with us, and fight for those who have yet to be.
Join us in loving on queer Black folks today, this month, and always. To our LGBTQ+ fam: you are radiance, you are divine, you are life itself. Own it✊🏿
Beautiful weather today for a highway clean-up! 🌞🌿
Interesting finds on the road: a dollar (only a small piece unfortunately) and a pile of bones...☠️ possum bones, that is.
The next clean up is July 11. Hope to see you there!
