I still wish there would be a way for these volunteers to help with “yards” in the Oak Ridge Reservation. I don’t live there now but grew up from May 1944 – 1962 (graduated ORHS). Not tooting my horn, however, myself along with numerous other former OR’s are donating money to help with various “yard” situations because the owners are elderly and/or too sick. Isn’t there “anything” the City can do to assist these people, consequently giving a new, clean look to various properties?? Maybe the Y-12 volunteers?
