5. Follow Up on Trash Off Held on October 12, 2019.
• Jennifer Shumate advised that this second trash off was a success. All 10 dumpsters were filled with an
11th needed to flatten out for transport. Jacked Turner let us know that Keep Texas Beautiful does a Fall
Sweep and because of this we received some free supplies that we will use in the Spring when we typically
have more volunteers.
6. Follow Up on Halloween Trick or Trot 5K and Monster Fun Run Held on October 19, 2019.
• Ms. Shumate advised that this event was not a huge success again for 2019. We moved the event up a
weekend as to not compete with other local and larger events. Around 50 participants were there and all
that were there had a wonderful time. For 2020 we are looking at just having the Monster Fun Run that
includes trick or treating as well as showing Hocus Pocus again. This event will be discussed further next
summer.
