00:00:02.655 --> 00:00:06.295
I have participated in Truckee Day for 19 years.

2
00:00:06.755 --> 00:00:09.015
My husband and I have participated since the

3
00:00:09.015 --> 00:00:10.175
very first Truckee Day

4
00:00:10.425 --> 00:00:12.135
Every year since it started.

5
00:00:12.425 --> 00:00:13.775
We've been the champions here.

6
00:00:14.045 --> 00:00:16.295
What keeps me coming back is the community

7
00:00:16.395 --> 00:00:20.215
and meeting everybody here at the check-in station.

8
00:00:20.535 --> 00:00:21.855
I just love doing that.

9
00:00:22.245 --> 00:00:23.535
What keeps me coming back?

10
00:00:23.935 --> 00:00:26.895
I think it's the sense of community that Truckee Day brings.

11
00:00:27.275 --> 00:00:30.855
My favorite thing about Truckee Day is meeting all the

12
00:00:30.855 --> 00:00:33.815
people that come and finding out whom my neighbors are.

13
00:00:34.135 --> 00:00:36.175
I have been doing this for 15 years.

14
00:00:36.875 --> 00:00:40.895
My favorite part about truck tickets, probably about, um,

15
00:00:41.325 --> 00:00:43.015
picking up trash a lot.

16
00:00:43.325 --> 00:00:45.935
This is my second year working to pick up trash

17
00:00:45.935 --> 00:00:47.055
and trucky on Trucky Day.

18
00:00:47.355 --> 00:00:50.335
It feels great that we're able to do this year after year,

19
00:00:50.355 --> 00:00:52.975
and I see more and more people getting involved when we

20
00:00:52.975 --> 00:00:55.175
Figure out how to make it better each year

21
00:00:55.755 --> 00:00:57.455
and how to be part of a community.

22
00:00:57.595 --> 00:00:58.815
So I just love it.

23
00:00:59.075 --> 00:01:01.935
My favorite part about the participating in the Truckee

24
00:01:02.005 --> 00:01:05.535
cleanup day is to, uh, interact with the people

25
00:01:05.755 --> 00:01:08.375
and the neighborhoods and the, the different organizations.

26
00:01:09.085 --> 00:01:10.975
It's a privilege to be a part of

27
00:01:11.685 --> 00:01:13.575
this town's great effort to clean up.

28
00:01:13.735 --> 00:01:15.975
I don't know any other town that does this.

29
00:01:16.245 --> 00:01:18.575
What I love most about Truckee Cleanup today is just

30
00:01:18.575 --> 00:01:19.615
the community aspect.

31
00:01:19.775 --> 00:01:21.775
I love that people in our community,

32
00:01:21.775 --> 00:01:23.215
from all neighborhoods go out

33
00:01:23.635 --> 00:01:25.575
and are dedicated to picking up litter

34
00:01:25.575 --> 00:01:26.815
and keeping our community clean.

35
00:01:27.085 --> 00:01:28.655
This is all about community.

36
00:01:28.845 --> 00:01:30.415
Look at how many volunteers are here.

37
00:01:30.415 --> 00:01:33.135
We have hundreds and hundreds of volunteers. I

38
00:01:33.135 --> 00:01:35.255
Think it keeps going in the community

39
00:01:35.255 --> 00:01:36.935
because the, the people

40
00:01:36.935 --> 00:01:38.695
that are doing it have the same reasons

41
00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:40.295
for liking it that I do.

42
00:01:40.555 --> 00:01:41.975
The changes I've seen since starting

43
00:01:41.975 --> 00:01:43.095
this is more participation.

44
00:01:43.315 --> 00:01:45.215
It seems like every year it gets bigger and bigger.

45
00:01:45.325 --> 00:01:47.015
It's a great kickoff to the summer season

46
00:01:47.195 --> 00:01:49.815
to get our town looking clean and our street shining bright.

47
00:01:50.075 --> 00:01:52.895
My favorite part of Trucky Day is about community

48
00:01:52.955 --> 00:01:54.815
and participating in my community

49
00:01:54.835 --> 00:01:56.295
and getting to know my neighbors.

50
00:01:56.395 --> 00:01:58.295
Thanks to everybody for participating.

51
00:01:58.325 --> 00:02:00.215
It's our favorite day of the year here in Truckee.

52
00:02:05.395 --> 00:02:07.055
We literally pick up tons of trash.
