Volunteers of all ages joined together this past Sunday morning between 10am to noon at Halls Pond for a cleanup project sponsored by the Sisterhood of the Young Israel of West Hempstead. The event was well attended with helping hands ranging from small children to senior citizens. Sign up took place in the gazebo and volunteers were given gloves and garbage bags.
Volunteers scoured the park including the stream bed, the fence areas and around the pond itself. A significant amount of trash was collected.
A feeling of accomplishment by helping maintain our precious public space and enhance its natural beauty was shared by all.
