Milton News from Julie Zahner
Bailey Happy New Year
|
Dear Friends, Neighbors and Milton Citizens -
I hope you all have had a blessed holiday season and continue to enjoy
important time with your families and friends. As we near the
corner on a new year, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for
your care for our collective community and for your involvement which
comes in so many different forms.
And as we approach 2009, if you have not had the opportunity to be as
involved as you would like to be, please include it as one of your
resolutions for the New Year. It does not have to take Herculean
efforts, but instead can be as simple as attending a Council or
committee meeting, sending in a suggestion or reaching out to a
neighbor. After all, the greatest blessings of our Milton
community are the people that make this place we call home so wonderful.

Bring One for the Chipper - Recycle Your Holiday Trees
|
|
The
Chipper says "thanks" for planning to recycle your Christmas
trees Jan.3rd
Milton residents are urged to recycle their Christmas trees through a
program brought to the city by the Milton Grows Green committee.
"Bring One for the Chipper" is a statewide program sponsored
by the Georgia Forestry Commission. Recycling will be available on Saturday,
Jan. 3, from 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. at the Birmingham Fire Station,
750 Hickory Flat Road.
This program has existed across Georgia for several years but it is
being brought to Milton for the first time by Milton Grows Green with
the generous support of Freeman's Tree Care. The mulch will be used in
public beautification projects, helping to reduce costs for the City.
All trees should be carefully checked to be sure that lights,
ornaments, etc., have been removed. Seedlings, including dogwood, green
ash and red cedar, will be given away on a first-come, first-served
basis while supplies last.
Volunteers ages 12 to 96 are needed to help unload trees - no machinery
contact involved! Please contact miltongrowsgreen@earthlink.net
to volunteer, or to request more information.

It's easy and
very appreciated.
Support in many
forms is essential for my grass roots efforts and of course,
includes the need for financial contributions.
Thank you for
your consideration of such a donation.
