Go to www.MyAFN.net and click on “AFN Streaming Survey” to take part or visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/afnstream.

John Sowers is the recycling coordinator for the Support Site and will be working with residents, the lease holder, and the garbage collection company to improve the recycling and waste collection program at the Support Site. The walled-in areas in the parking lot beside the North Park soccer fields and beside the South Park softball field are not trash collection areas and have been marked off. These two areas are no longer designated pick-up points, so refrain from leaving waste in them.
