Volunteers: Our Clean Lake Partners

The Tuesday “A-Team” Crew

This is a partial list of our most dedicated volunteers.
Space limitations prohibit us from including more of you, but rest assured that your work is very valuable.

John Mayer
In Memoriam – Learn more about John here
John began cleaning the Lake since before the Institute began to clean it.

His favorite spot was the 12th St. beach area which he considers a personal challenge, and he usually got more trash than anyone else.

Susan Campodonico

Susan walks the lake regularly, she has enjoyed being a member of the A-team for the past seven years.

Tom
Tom jogs the Lake on most mornings and reports back to us where the trash can be found.

Lloyd Lavagetto
Lloyd loves to extend the net to reach trash far offshore.

You can see him out there most any Tuesday with a tennis ball on the end of the net to ward off pedestrians who might break his concentration.
