Norgate Community Cleanup – May 3, 2014.  Thirteen Norgate residents turned out to rake, clip, weed, mow, and meet with Town Councilwoman Anna M. Kaplan and Town Clerk Wayne H. Wink, Jr., who sponsored the event and provided t-shirts for participants and trash bags for the debris.  The job of cleaning the entry to the community along Norgate Road took about an hour and a half.  After a cold snowy winter and a rainy spring it was a pleasure to get outdoors on a sunny day, meet with neighbors and Town leaders, and really accomplish a needed task. Not pictured with the group is Erdal Can, who scraped, caulk cracks, and touched up the paint on the Norgate entrance pillars.
