Making a difference in Cary
There are so many wonderful features that make Cary great – our tree lined streets, the look-and-feel of our community, and all of the events that build community. But what really makes CARY great, are the people who live, work, play and raise families in this great Town.
What I’ve come to learn in my short time on council, is that our citizens aren’t just passionate contributors to our daily Town conversation; they put their heart, soul and free time to work to continue to make Cary the vibrant, amazing community that it is today.
John Kennedy famously said –
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
Cary citizens have taken that to heart, right here in our own community.
Volunteers by the Numbers
Spruce, our volunteer-based program designed to connect citizens to beautification, litter reduction, and environmental service projects in our community has a number of activities going on all year. In fact, since today is Earth Day – you might want to check out some of those upcoming events and come out to Spring Daze in Bond Park, this Saturday, April 27th. You can also join the Spruce Facebook group to keep up on what’s next.
On Saturday, April 13th I joined almost 450 other volunteers for the Spring Litter Sweep across our town for several hours. Kids, seniors, boomers and families joined in to help make Cary “clean and forever green.” It was amazing to see people all across this community, getting together to pick up trash – and keep our community looking great. We owe a debt of gratitude to all those folks that gave their Saturday morning to this endeavor.
