Norm M Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 The NIAA is holding the Kankakee River Cleanup on 09-19-09 from 8:00 AM until 1:00PM. As part of the original Adopt A River agreement in which the ISA adopted a 3 mile stretch of the Kankakee River from Warner Bridge to Hoffman Island we agreed to have a cleanup on this date. To meet our obligation I am asking for volunteers to meet at the concession stand at the Kankakee River State Park at 8:00 AM. We will go from there to cover our adopted stretch. The NIAA will provide lunch for all volunteers. Let's hope for a better turnout than last year where it was two members trying to clean 3 miles of river.

artback Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I've been looking for an opportunity in my schedule to contribute time to ISA, and the wife just gave me clearance. Count me in! If my son were not just off to college, you'd have two more volunteers instead of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks guys. Right now getting the rest of the day off to fish is iffy, waiting to hear back from the "man" at work. If I can't go I'll give you some spots to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotth Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 do you have to be an ISA member? cause i might be able to wrangle some more help.. scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Scott, It's part of the NIAA cleanup and a River Appreciation Day event as well. The ISA is honoring it's agreement with the Adopt A River program and scheduling a clean up on this day. As far as I'm concerned bring all the willing hands you can. Hopefully they will like what they see and join up. If not hopefully they will commit to the river itself and help keep it a going concern.

Kev-mo Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Norm, How will the clean up day work? What will be provided and what will we need to bring? Are we getting in the water or just working the shoreline? Any other info you have would be good. Breakfast before? Go to lure for the afternoon?

WILLIAM C. Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Norm,as of today I'm in for Saturday.Hopefully nothing will come up. I haven't been able to make anything on weekends this year. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted September 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 Kevin Breakfast not planned but if any want to they can. Twixt the NIAA and my trunk we should have all the cleanup supplys, NIAA supposed to provide food. You can get into water to cleanup if desired but most of the effort will be along the shorelines and parking lots. If you opt for shoreline you may get your feet wet. I'm off that day so Zach and I will fish for a while afterward. We do plan to go to a star show at ONU that evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
