Notes from the President
Happy fall, fellow FLAP-pers! It’s my favorite time of year. I look forward to pumpkin spice fla-
vored…everything, cool and crisp days, and the foliage!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful summer!
Thanks to the volunteers who came out for both Raiders of the Lost Trash cleanups in July and
August. Between the two events we collected 20 bags of trash!
We will be joining the other Friends groups of the Accotink Watershed for International Coastal
Cleanup Day on September 19th. We will be taking the canoes out on the lake and walking up Flag
Run. Meet us at the boathouse at the marina at 9am.
