Indian Pathfinders Beautify Londonderry

 

On Saturday May 16th, 2009 the Southern New Hampshire Indian Pathfinders Carried on a annual tradition of giving back to the community that continually gives to them. Close to 40 members of the Indian Pathfinders volunteered for Beautify Londonderry. Each member had their own reason for why they volunteered their efforts. For some it was to give back to the Londonderry community, for others it was a way of spending time with Friends. No matter the reason the Pathfinders came out strong and accomplished their goals.

From the moment she was contacted, Carolyn O'Connor knew that she could count on the Pathfinders. Carolyn knew that each year the Pathfinders turn out in large numbers to give back to Londonderry. This is why she did not have any problems assigning the Pathfinders three important tasks. Steve Fawcett of the Montauk tribe was the organizer of this event for the Pathfinders. Steve knew from the start to complete the assigned tasks(mulching and planting at Moose Hill, mulching and Planting at the town Common and raking and mulching at Central Fire station) that he would have to rely on the support from all of his fellow members. Within hours of receiving the assignments Steve started the process of notifying fellow members and getting volunteers.

On Saturday May 16, the members met at the Moose Hill School in Londonderry to receive their clean-up assignments. The 40 members broke up into 3 teams to works on their assigned tasks simultaneously. Each team had similar tasks, which were to mulch selected area, provide a general clean-up and in some area's plant flowers. Members worked diligently to complete their task quickly and all teams completed their assigned areas within two hours. At the end, both fathers and daughters were able to look at the jobs they completed with pride and a great sense of accomplishment.

The Pathfinder Nation would like to thank Steve Fawcett and the Montauk tribe for organizing this yearly event. Their hard work in planning made this event a large success for the Pathfinders, taught the girls valuable lessons and everyone had fun doing it. Nice job Montauks.
