| Sorry... We're just so happy about this, that we wanted to share it. In wanting to be as active in the community as we can, we looked into adopting a road here in town. Its a nice little gig. Show up a minimum of 4 times per year, and walk around picking up trash. The county supplies the vests, gloves, and bags. We already assist a friend of ours with his adopted road. Interestingly, here in Sarasota, businesses cannot adopt within city limits, but non-profits can. We got a copy of the list of available roads, and went for the 'Crown Jewel'. For some unknown reason, none of the 'big' non-profits (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc...) had adopted St. Armands Circle. We decided that we'd throw in for it just for grins-n-giggles, figuring that the oldsters on the city council would never let a paranormal team adopt it, as it is considered a very 'upper-crust' and 'snooty' location. Boy, were we wrong...... The email came in last week, confirming that our application had been approved. As an added bonus, they put up a sign on the Circle stating that is was adopted by our team! | |

| It's all free. All we have to do is go out there 4 times a year to clean the area. Even if only 3 of us go, it'll only take about a half hour to clean.
Most cities have an Adopt-A-Road program. You get to help the community, AND get some free advertising. | |
