Farmingham Woods board leaders and neighbors made a positive impact on their community by having a “Day of Action” focusing on cleaning up the community. After selecting certain areas, volunteers filled 15 garbage bags and removed old tires and other large items out of the muck. The cleanup effort not only made the grounds look better but had a practical impact as the trash that had accumulated and lodged in the storm drain caused water to pond. The receding water is able to dry out faster and is no longer a breeding area for mosquitoes.
Pam Swoner, Farmingham Woods HOA president, shares, “It is amazing how much can be accomplished in a short time with community members working together. I sincerely hope more members of HOAs will consider a Day of Action with their neighbors.”
