Rock Creek Cleanup
Rock Creek
The first Rock Creek clean will be held at Frazier-McEwen Park in Tullahoma on Saturday, April, 26 from 8:00am – 1:00pm.
“This is a great opportunity for the community to have fun while making a difference,” said Event Organizer, Chad Marcum. “Rock Creek needs our help. It is a great natural resource that links our heritage, and the Rock Creek Spring Clean event is a simple way to give back and brighten our own back yard.”
Marcum has a passion for beautifying the community and protecting our waterways. Last year, he organized the 1st Normandy Lake Clean Up, an effort that successfully collected over 500lbs of trash off the lake. Marcum is now focusing that same passion and effort toward Rock Creek.
“This event has the potential to become Tullahoma’s signature Clean Event,” said Community Coordinator, Winston Brooks.
Other organizations helping to coordinate this event include Keep Coffee County Beautiful, Tullahoma Pride Foundation, Inter-Local Solid Waste Association and Public Works.
After the cleanup, please join others for a trash tally, prizes and picnic. Lunch will be provided to all who participate. Volunteers are encouraged to dress appropriately; bring your sunscreen, bug spray, boots and waders if you have them.
Prizes to be given away include: a New Kayak, Google Chrome Casts, Professional Teeth Whitening kit from Glick and Woods Dentistry, Woodards Jewelers gift certificate, free car detail from Stan McNabb Automotive, and more.
This event is great for families, church groups, scouts, school groups and others.
WMSR Website Update
As many of you know the WMSR website went down from a couple of days last week. This was a server problem so it was beyond our control. We heard from many of you that were concerned about not being able to read the local news, sports, obituaries and other information at wmsrradio.com. We changed servers because of the issues and basically had to re-build the site. When we did that a problem occurred. Recently we started offering a new way to receive information from WMSR, emailed news. Hundreds of you signed up for the service. In the process of changing servers we lost the emails so we are asking you our loyal listeners and viewers to re-sign up so you can start receiving your emails again. Go to www.wmsrradio.com and sign up on the front page. Thank you for listening to WMSR and reading our website.
