Posted by La Manzanilla Green Team on September 6, 2020, 7:56 pm

La Manzanilla Green Team invites you Monday September 7th at 9:30 am look for Giancarlo M. the dentist at the corner of Playa Roxana and Perula. Bring a shovel, broom and a wheelbarrow.
If you live on where the red arrows are please clean the most mud that you can before 9:30am, to make it easier.
For a clean town!

Lots more help is still needed for today’s work party., to do the prep work on the street from Palapa Joes to the lagoon.

Workers
Square shovels
Containers to hold the mud/dust - dustpans, paint pails, etc.
Stiff brooms

Yasmin is lending her truck, and it gets filled up with the dirt that is being scraped from the sides of the road before the “pipa” (fire hose) arrives to finish the job. Nobody wants to keep the huge water truck waiting, so...if anyone can:

- help do the work
- hire more help,
or
- lend equipment,

it will be much appreciated. It’s a good way to connect with the community, too! The community spirit is amazing.

My question is not about shaming. It is a question of concern for your health. In melaque when the fire truck came and sprayed the streets, there was a huge amount of mist in the air that potentialy carried virus in the droplets and absolutely for sure stirred up a lot of spray that had fecal contamination. Please be careful.

Monte, you don't live here, please stop voicing your opinion on everything.

Hola, Daniel. Just voicing my 10 pesos worth. I like Monte's input and we don't have that many Message Board contributions to clutter up the board.

Even though Monte doesn't live here any more, many of us know him and know that he cares about us and the community. No one needs to agree with his opinions. Cruz

Thanks to Mazinka, Will & Leia and Carol's amazing team, specially on Perula street as they are not many neighbors.
We still need the shovels to pickup the mud that the fire hose pulls in front.
PLEASE everyone that has a place on Maria Asunción from Bahía Azul towards the crocodiles have someone join the team to at least clean your front is hot, humid and sunny they are helping us to have it clean is the first time ever that is done in the town thanks to Giancarlo Medina, El Tamarindo (Four seasons) and Oswaldo Suazo (Bahía Azul) they are providing the big water container truck, backhoe and about 10 workers the rest ar volunteers.
M Morgan our sewer system is working fine so the mud didn't got contaminated it rained yesterday so no dust, we should be wearing a mask to protect from COVID but is to much to ask. Thanks for your concern.

Thanks for your teams efforts. Come help on the next street over, Concha Molida. I sometimes feel like the lonely Maytag repairman being the only one cleaning. Good work everyone. rojo
