Monday, Monday….

Let’s look around the island a bit….

• It was great to see Ann & Credence’s little Hazel out & about at the Elephant Revival concert Saturday….born just this year, she’s recovering nicely from the just-after-birth surgery she underwent to repair her abdominal area. Great to see her!

The ladies at the Town offices wore lime green (and variations) to celebrate Luanne's last day....

• Friday was Luanne Spendiff’s last day at the auditor’s office, so folks at the County, the Town, and Port all wore various shades of lime green, her favorite color. Good luck, Luanne!

• That mob you saw down at the ferry dock Saturday is part of the reason the island looks so empty…after three years of fundraising, Janet Olsen & the high school band are headed for Hawaii for spring break, where they have a few gigs.

• Saturday was the last inside Farmers’ Market of the season, as the Saturday happening moves outside later this month….

• You knew it was spring break for the public schools this week, right?

• The Great Island Clean-Up is this coming weekend, but some folks already have a jump start – here’s more from Lori Stokes:

Well, the fun has begun!  Last Saturday, March 26th, Brownies, Girls Scouts and a few Boy Scouts helped kick off the Great Island Clean-Up at South Beach.

The kids wanted a chance to make a difference and participate since many of them will be gone over spring break on April 9th (the official day of the clean-up) and they did!   In about two hours they collected over 625 pieces of trash, many which were tiny plastic pieces that have been broken down and washed up to shore many times over.

They collected  just over 20 pounds of trash!  Pretty impressive for a bunch of 5-9 year olds! They found a coconut shell, a plastic shovel, and pieces of old wooden boats amongst other things.
