Lance H. Beebe Commanding Officer, CDR Christopher Melhuish showed his neighborhood spirit as he joined in the clean-up of Charlestown. If you take a look around it's easy to find a way to give back to the local community. Just a little effort and time can make a difference in the surrounding community. The city of Boston sponsors and participates in city clean-ups. The volunteers raked grass areas, put large objects into trash bags and swept debris into the street for the city's public works personnel to pick up.
Sailors have the chance to be part of many different communities.
And, it really does make a difference. It actually empowers the local community. It also makes those who volunteer feel satisfied and wanting more. If you try it once, you'll want to do it again.
