I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to the volunteers who helped with our first ever Keep Iberia Parish Beautiful Litter Walk last Saturday (October 31st) in Coteau.  Although the weather was previously "terrible" for two nights prior, you all came out and made a huge difference in just two short hours.  33 bags of debris, trash, and litter picked up alone Highway 88, around Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church, by Francis Romero Park, and along the Highway 90/88 interchange/overpass.   Also we could not have done as well without our great inmate crew and their supervisor, Deputy Minos.  These young men really worked hard for our parish.  Thank you Thank you Thank you to Warden Frank Ellis and the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Department for always being there when we need and call.  Remember it will take each and every citizen in Iberia Parish working together to achieve the ultimate goal--a cleaner, litter free Iberia Parish for future generations to enjoy and be proud to call home!  To all who volunteer and give of your time, just know you have my deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks--always!

    " great - I agree that any mess cleaned up is a positive - as chairman of the Bayou Teche for numerous years it was always fulfilling to send a couple of 30 yard dumpsters away - suggested target area would be railroad, hayes, segura,and adras roads -- there is still debris associated with Rita ( not Ike) in the ditch - it would also help if the parish picked some of this stuff up instaed of just cleaning the ditch and pilling debris with the spoil as they did on Railroad Road "
