GREAT TEXAS TRASH OFF & BAG-A- THON
Ms. Dunkelberg updated the Commission on the Great Texas Trash Off and Bag-A-Thon activities
planned for April 9, 1994. Ms. Ward and Mrs. Dunkelberg contacted over 200 businesses telling
them about the Beautification Commission and the Great Texas Trash Off. Most business were
very cooperative and will pick up the trash in front of their place of business on April the 9th. Other
participants include four area schools, Davis Baptist Church, Shady Grove Church and girl and boy
scout troops. At 11 :30 all volunteers will go to Rosebud Park for lunch, a concert by the Northeast
Symphony and the Bag-A- Thon Olympics.
The Klothes Konnection will kick off March 24. The clothes will be collected at participating
schools then sorted and delivered to the BISD Klothes Konnection. Cash register receipts will be
saved again this year. The Commission will place their box either at Winn Dixie on Grapevine
Highway or Sack N Save at Rufe Snow and 820. Last year the money collected went to the BISD
Nature Center.

STAFF REPORTS
Mr. Hightshoe updated the Commission on the Bilingual Signs. Staff would like to approach Barry
Le Baron, Director of Planning and Inspections, to see if his department could possible fund the
signs or help in some way.
Mr. Hightshoe commended the Commission on the Volunteer Appreciation Banquet. Possibly next
year the Commission might hand out the awards first due to the number of young children that
attend who need to be home early because it was a school night.

concerning the Keep Texas Beautiful Ebby Halliday and Maurice Acers Awards. Ms. Pultz agreed
