The Enid Lake Volunteers for Waste Management and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Enid Lake conducted their 13th Annual Enid Lake Clean Up Day Saturday, February 27, 2016. Employees from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and RBS Contractors teamed up with 215 volunteers to clean and enhance Enid Lake’s shoreline and roadways, and sustain Enid Lake’s beauty. A total of 45 compacted cubic yards of trash and debris along with 21 tires were picked up from Enid Lake’s roadways and shoreline. The clean up took place from 7:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The morning’s clean up was followed by a delicious lunch prepared by volunteers, raffle drawings, and awarding of door prizes.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would like to thank all volunteers who participated in the 2016 Clean Up Day, the many merchants who donated door prizes, and those who made cash contributions to the volunteer organization. Without the volunteers and generous merchants this event would not be possible. Enid Lake would also like to thank the Enid Lake Volunteers for Waste Management for their hard work and dedication in coordinating and planning a great event for a great cause.
    Over the past 13 years this event has been directly responsible for removing over 878 compacted cubic yards of trash and debris, and 730 tires from Enid Lake’s roadways and shoreline. This event has also been directly responsible for over 2,554 volunteers contributing services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Enid Lake Field Office valued at approximately $302,106.00, and making environmental stewardship a way of life around Enid Lake.
