GERRISH TOWNSHIP – At the Feb. 13 meeting of the Gerrish Township Board, two volunteers were honored with certificates for their work on the ACT NOW scrap metal project.
For the past 16 years, Stanley Baysdell and Dave Blazejewski donated a large part of their summers to sort, load, and haul scrap metal to the recycling center. Proceeds from their efforts were used to fund a variety of township projects.
The scrap metal project runs April 15-Oct. 15. Items can be dropped off in the trailer behind the Gerrish Township Police Department. The project has generated more than $31,000 since its inception in 2008.
Carlos Jean-Francois has agreed to head the effort going forward.
