Two thumbs up to all of y'all for putting this together - PFF is such a great group!!!

Wish I could be there to help, but we'll be fishing the Alabama Deep Sea that weekend. Good luck to y'all, and count me in on the next one!!!

I just left Mr. Frank Patti's office. I was telling him about the members of PFF giving back to the community. He was so impressed that he called a women from Pensacola News Journal and had me speak with her. They, Terry from PNJ and Frank Patti, together do a BLAB spot every other week. Frank asked Terry to plug the event for us on the next show. I'm just about to e-mail her the info now. Has there been a time set yet for Sat. July 18th?

First of all, I'd like to thank Glassman for getting a plug out there for the forum. Second, does anyone else want to pick a time? I'm thinking of making a few flyers to post around, and would like to put a time and meeting place. Seems we have a bunch of interest but we need to set where/when. I know this isn't the right thread, but PFF flags would look good. Any replies?

Right on Skip! Whatever it takes my friend! I just sent Terry from PNJ the email with the PFF specifics. Once I find out when it airs, I'll post it.

It may only be a short blurb, but folks will know that we at PFF care about our home.

Action speaks louder than words. NEXT... How do we keep Ft. Mcree clean for the future? Nice job ya'll!!

Park Service Volunteer coordinator has called and left a message on my machine. I will be calling him back Monday.
He mentioned that a dumpster just west of the Fort Pickens Pier inside the wall would be no problem at all.
He wanted to know how many people we thought there would be helping do this.
It sounds like it is growing by leaps and bounds.

It will be a very quick and short clean-up.
Or we could expand as time and manpower allows to include Sand Island and also work our way east of Ft. McRee ????

If we get enough people which it looks like we will I think we should hit Sand Island as well.

Sounds like there will be lots of people to scour, scoop, clean, and dump around McRea and Sand Island.  If we start at 8:00 AM we should be finished by 10:00 at latest.

What do ya think; do we want to plan on cooking some breakfast, or hot dogs, or just bring a bunch of Krispy Kremes to go with the beer?

I plan on bringing some fish to blacken and fry as well as some sides. Need to get an idea how many people will be there so I know how much to bring. From the looks of it I may need some more fish or some hot dogs/hamburgers to supplement the fish.

Matt, you may need some help cooking as it appears this may be a turn out the size of the last fish fry at the Oval Office!!

I plan on bringing food for the 30 souls I am bringing!!

Is there any way to start a sign up post. How could that work? Just an idea. Someone may have a better idea. What was done for past events? Also, should this be added to the calender of events?

Have y'all ever tried to use "evite.com" for any of these? It would allow you to see who's coming and what they are bringing... just a suggestion - it worked well when the message board I used to run when we hit about 40,000 members....

Would probably want to set up a "PFF" account....

Right now it looks like we will have a good size group. I kinda think putting out flyers for more people might be too much.

BTT. Where's the best place to have the  "BASE CAMP"? I'm planning on bringing a cooker-n-gas, some fish, a roll of plastic garbage bags, some dip (of some sort), and a ride or garbage barge run for who/what ever. The ramp is a good place, but a little short on beach space. Any input?

Are we doing this thing this weekend or next? I thought it was this coming weekend but saw earlier post reference the 18th-19th - I'm out of town that weekend so I'm out unless those aren't the dates.

How about at the northeast corner of the Ft McRae point just north of the rock and marble blocks jetty?

What ramp do you refer to?

From Larry Bova, GINS Park Service volunteer coordinator.
07-07-2009

"Sorry for the phone mishaps. I am a one man show and have been driving a beach sweeper that precludes phone service. Anyway, we have a 30 yard dumpster ready for your group to use near the seawall at Fort Pickens. I would like the group to concentrate their efforts on removal of any larger debris first. I am thinking of stuff like construction materials, boards with nails, tires, metal, etc. And if there are people and time, then the cans and bottles. I can get trash bags for the group. I would encourage each person to be responsible for wearing some sturdy footwear and bringing gloves and sun protection. I will attempt to join you at Ft McRee, if I can arrange a ride over on a friends boat. What is the time that you plan to start the clean-up? Talk to you soon. Larry Bova"

end

I have invited Mr. Bova to this thread for additional input.

I was refering to the little cove area that has the cement pathway/landing area leading up to the fort. The cove is deep, good for swiming and anchoring bigger boats, and we can get a good number of people in there without being spread all down the beach. It doesn't matter to me where, I just wanted to pick a spot so we can gather, and put the grills and stuff.

What a great day! Thanks to all that contributed their time and efforts. I know that there will be more postings, and pictures, to follow.  I wanted to say how wonderful you all are. Although the numbers are not in yet, I estimate several hundreds of pounds of garbage were picked up today. In my initial posting I mentioned how trashed Ft. McRee was. I really had no idea, at that time, how much there actually was. We do now! What a great effort you all made. It was a successful day, and you all should be very proud of yourselves..  I'm honored to have met all of you today. Thank you!

We were only there from 8 until about 10 - met Pirate40, BananaTom (old Flathead), and a few others. I know we picked up about 5 bags of trash and a BBQ grill - I was really hoping to stay around and see just how much got pulled out; but, we just HAD to get back home...

We should make this an annual event!!!
