We are grateful to Eric Orner of Walmart, on U.S. 41 in Brooksville, who coordinated another Walmart volunteer cleanup of the Weeki Wachee River on May 30, 2014, which not only enhanced protection of this Outstanding Florida Waterbody, but will also result in a $2,000 grant to the FRIENDS from the Walmart Foundation because of their employees' efforts.  We appreciate their hard work and continued support of our mission!  Thanks also to Toby Brewer, Manager, Weeki Wachee Springs State Park, and Chuck Morton, FRIENDS Board member, for their assistance in making kayaks 

available to the volunteers, and to Fritz Musselman, devoted volunteer, and Roger Davidson, FRIENDS Board member, for hauling the trash collected by the volunteers and tolerating the torment of yellow flies along with me.  This is how we get it done!
