Adopt-A-Highway Clean-up (Fish Hatchery Rd.) – Feb. 18
Please keep in mind that it will soon be that time again!
Saturday Feb 18th will be the date for our next quarterly trash pickup. As always, we’ll meet by 9 am at the Hoffman’s home @ 117 Lynn Street… Call if you need directions.. Tim @ 803-513-3989
Our route is the 2 mile stretch of Fish Hatchery Road from Likes Court by the church to the intersection of Pine Street by the Armory. If it’s your first time out, be sure to check out our PPHC sign at either end!
I expect this to be our best pickup so far in that the weather should be PERFECT for a morning walk! All your hard work thus far, also makes each pickup easier than the one before. As this IS our regularly scheduled date, we will NOT be responsible for getting the bags to the dump.
Please remember to dress APPROPRIATELY, long legged pants and closed shoes. THANKS again for all you do for your community and your Club.

Sail On, Ralph MacDonald (1944-2011)
Long time Coral Reefer and well know song writer, producer, publisher, and percussionist Ralph MacDonald passed away December 18, 2011.
Ralph MacDonald, a highly regarded session musician and songwriter who co-wrote hits including “Where Is the Love?” and “Just the Two of Us,” died on Sunday of lung cancer in Stamford, Connecticut. He was 67.
Born in New York City to a musical father from Trinidad, MacDonald learned to play steelpan percussion at an early age and performed with Harry Belafonte’s band for a decade before striking out on his own. MacDonald’s distinctive Afro-Caribbean percussion flavored dozens of popular songs, including David Bowie‘s “Young Americans” and Jimmy Buffett‘s “Margaritaville.” Over the years, MacDonald worked with a wide range of artists, from Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon and Aretha Franklin to Luther Vandross and Amy Winehouse.
MacDonald earned two Grammy Awards in 1978 as a producer and performer on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, for which he contributed the track “Calypso Breakdown.” “My approach is to work with melody by simply enhancing it,” MacDonald told The New York Times in 1977, when the newspaper called him “the ghost behind the million-selling albums.”
There are a lot of great tributes to Ralph out there – check them out at the links below.
