Monkey Island Group Takes on Huge Mowing Project
The newly organized Monkey Island Association (MIA) has announced its plans to promote the regular mowing of grass along the five miles of Highway 125 right-of-way.
The second actual mowing is scheduled for this week with the Island group soliciting donations to help support the activity, according to Karl Blade, vice president and beautification committee chairman.
Tabbed as the cornerstone to the Highway Beautification Project, residents and visitors are now greeted with a scenic highway framed with wide borders of professionally trimmed grass, according to Marilyn Mlnarik, association president.
To finance a year-round program of mowing and grooming of Highway 125, the MIA is soliciting annual contributions of $50 or more from resident families and $100 or more from businesses. Collections kicked off over July 4th. Ms. Mlnarik reports that donations have exceeded $6,000 with individual contributions up to $1,000, enough to finance the first three professional cuttings. Contributors to the Highway Beautification Project will also be credited with a one year membership in the association, she said. Newsletters are sent via email to keep members in the know.
Those interested or with questions may contact Mlnarik, 918-257-6744 , or Blade, 918-257-6020. Publicity Chairman, John Turner, suggests visiting the Monkey Island Association blog at http://monkeyislandreporter.blogspot.com for a contribution flyer, membership information or copies of the Island Reporter newsletter. Treasurer, Loren Zook, is gathering contributions and membership applications at American Folk Art Furniture Studio, 29901 S. 566 Rd, Monkey Island, OK 74331.
