I’VE registered. We’ll be cleaning up the waterway near the Girl Guide hall. There’s a large park and walking path along the waterfront. There’s a fair bit of rubbish thrown into that area. I’m thinking through ways to make it fun. I think lollies will be involved. I can remember my mum wanted a stack of small stones removed from an area in the garden and she paid my sister and I one cent for each stone removed. It was slave labour but the cash was a motivator – I was about seven, my sister four. I think M&Ms or Freckles might provide similar motivation. I’ll let them sort out the system – they’re very fair and love sorting out that kind of thing. Someone will take charge, someone will be the bookkeeper and someone will dispense the “pay”. A plan is forming.
