Volunteer
Extraordinaire
Volunteering is not limited
to the many activities at
our Union Center or even
the amazing Anthem events
at our Community Park.
There is something about
this community that may
or may not be unique, but
is defnitely distinctive.
This distinctive form of
volunteerism is the way
we all come together as
friends and neighbors to
help those of us that are
suffering or incapacitated
in some way or another.
September has been a
diffcult month for far too
many of our own. We all
knew this would happen as
we grow older, but when fate
knocks on your door, there
is nothing more reassuring
than a sympathetic friend
carrying dinner in their
hands, knocking on their
seemingly hopeless door.
The stories are countless and
varied; neighbors voluntarily
getting together to clean a
home when hospitalization
kept the residents away
for long periods of
time; stocking a friends
refrigerator with fresh and
easy meals after a terrible
accident temporarily left
her debilitated and in pain;
and sadly, when parents lose
their child, everyone seems
to come together to offer
love, sympathy and support.
This article is not meant
to make us sad; just the
opposite. We all should be
proud of our strength and
determination to help others
in their time of need.

In 2010 a
Fl or e nc e
C i t i z e n
Survey was
conducted
and 92%
of those
responding asked the Town
to start a Recycling Program
for all Florence residents.
In response to that request
the Town staff prepared
a detailed Request for
Proposal (RFP) that included
contracting the curbside
collection of both trash
and recycling by the private
sector. This proposal went
out to bid in early summer
and the Town received 3
legitimate bids. All of the
proposals would reduce the
cost that residents currently
pay for monthly trash
pickup. Since there have been
changes to the Town Council
in the interim, the Council
will again discuss this
program before any contract
can be negotiated. This
discussion will take place at
the Town Council meeting
on October 1, 2010 at 6:00
p.m. at the Florence Town
Hall. Curbside collection
of recycling materials is
very common in many
communities throughout
the USA and Canada. The
Recycling Committee at
Anthem supports this action
to gain greater resident
participation with more
materials being recycled.
