Work to beautify Channing much appreciated

Bouquets & Barbs

Bouquet

From Jean Bloom, Channing:

Hats off to the Channing Beautify Committee.

Several young ladies got together to convince all Channing residents to beautify their yards.

This included getting rid of junk for which the committee had designated several “Junk Dumps,” throughout our small town.

The committee in town promised to haul away the junk to qualified landfills, which they did.

They then encouraged everyone to plant a flower garden. If some of the seniors couldn’t afford to do that, the committee paid for plants to build a pot of flowers for them.

They then planted half-barrels of mixed flowers and decorations to match the holidays, such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July, etc.

As of today, such decorations are on every corner of the main street, which is M-95.

They are still there as I write this. As the holidays grew near, they arranged tree trimming sites in the alleys, along with carol singing.

As of this day, there is still a lighted tree on M-95.
