The curbside clean up is a great amenity in the Villas, but it can also mean unsecured trash can find its way into the ponds. There is lots of wildlife here at Twin Ponds and the animals are constantly dragging trash around the property from the dumpsters and curbside as well. Sadly, some people even think littering is no big deal, and that garbage ends up all over the property, including the ponds.
Melissa Davis, a resident from the Courtyards, saw the ugly garbage in the pond and turned it into something beautiful, a clean up day with the kids of Twin Ponds. She contacted management and together we collaborated working out the details and The Pond Squad was born!
We thanked the kids for what they were doing and even talked to them about the importance of “change” and what littering was doing to the waterways and the wildlife. The kids were excited to talk about it and excited to help. We rewarded them with a pizza party afterwards.
Thank you for your hard work Pond Squad and thank you for your initiative Melissa.
Today is a tribute to those who work. Paid or unpaid, part-time or full, happily or not (but hopefully happily)—you help make the world go round. Thank you and Happy Labor Day!
Happy Memorial Day from Twin Ponds to all of you! As you enjoy a long weekend, barbecues, family and friends, take a moment to remember those who have served, are serving and will serve. Our freedom does not come without great cost.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let's collectively say goodbye to 2022 and welcome 2023 as the year we strive to be better and kinder than ever. From everyone at Twin Ponds, to all of you we say cheers to a new healthy year.
