Stash the Trash has taken a brief hiatus following the Fall Redd Up, as organization president Derek Green has been recovering from a serious accident that left him with several broken bones and a concussion with short-term memory loss. Green writes, "The good news is, I am making tremendous progress, now walking without a wheelchair (finally!) and I am hoping to make a full recovery by this spring... and we already have some new clean-up dates that we are working on scheduling. A special thank you to all of you who sent cards, gifts, and warm thoughts and wishes to my family and I during this difficult time." Our best wishes to Derek for a full recovery.
Green continues, "In October, just before my accident, Stash the Trash worked on another amazing clean-up project with a bunch of students in the Hill District who attend The A. Leo Weil Elementary School. These wonderful group of kids managed to clean-up over 25 bags of litter and debris in the Hill District as part of the ongoing Redd Up cleanups that take place each October."
