  Hip-Hip-Hooray!...for the thirteen other cheerful AOC volunteers who joined me and Bobby for this wonderful "Give-Back-to-Nature" annual event.
  We're proud to have built upon Paula Schubert's superb tradition of AOC participation in "Rivers Alive" at Woodstock's Olde Rope Park where she other AOCers pitched in today for the 6th year in a row.  Jointly our hundreds of Rivers Alive volunteers collected thousands of pounds of unsightly river refuse while having lots fun together in the process.
The weather, fall colors and other splendors of nature were stupendous.
  My dear friends Elvin and Nancy Hilyer do a fantastic job each October hosting this event at their gorgeous riverfront home on the Etowah River just west of Dahlonega.  We're proud to count them among our newest active Atlanta Outdoor Club members and look forward to them joining us for our AOC  Sapelo Island retreat on the GA coast next weekend.
