Giving Back Throughout the Year Members of TRC’s Houston Park Ten office have been working with a local elementary school in their community to organize charitable donations and events. Throughout the year, TRC employees worked with the Hutsell Elementary school in Houston. Six TRC Houston employees volunteered their time to assist with a seven different fourth grade classes’ field trips to a local park for fishing. Events rotated between fishing, mini golf, art stations, and other activities. The entire office collected school supplies for the upcoming school year, which they dropped off in mid-August. Special thanks to Ashley Wagner and Heather Butler, who were the main organizers of this volunteer effort. Our Fort Wayne TRC office has adopted a greenway through the Fort Wayne Adopt-A-Greenway program. This program allows different groups and businesses to adopt a portion of the bike/walkways throughout the city and pick up trash and provide a better environment for our city, waterways, and environment. Each Spring and Fall the Fort Wayne TRC office picks a Saturday and goes out to pick up along the trail. This provides team bonding, team work, and community service for our trails, along with a fun activity to get to know our coworkers outside the office. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that our pick-ups make a difference in our local community! There are so many ways to get involved with and support the community. Whether it be donations, volunteering time, or doing fundraisers. Each effort helps show that TRC has a commitment to our communities. Thank you to offices for your volunteer efforts! 49
