We would like to thank the Amsterdam community for supporting our mission to improve the community's quality of life through programs that empower residents to transform neighborhoods and to create a clean and healthy environment. We especially want to thank Debbie & Lionel Gibbs for their generous support; Rudy & Linda Horlbeck from Merry Hill Farm for their truckloads of compost alpaca manure over the years; Gina Champian and Cancer Prevention in Action for the sunshade canopy; Joe Puglise and Doug Sweet for digging deep and helping us get the post up for the canopy. We also want to thank Lowes for providing tools at cost for our grant and donating flowers to the 78 Wall St community garden. Thank you Sticker Mule for the steel trash receptacle with Help Keep Amsterdam Clean sign.
To all our volunteers "THANK YOU!"
