Trash Contest winner announced

THE TOP PRIZE for counting Trash Cans in the Northeast News in August was awarded to Maria Garcia

NORTHEAST HOUSTON– About 100 entries were received in the recent Count the Trash Cans contest, sponsored by the East Aldine Management District and the Northeast News.
Approximately half had the correct count, 48, and the others varied from 28 to 63. The winner was picked in a random drawing from the correct entries, and received a $100 cash award.
The purpose of the contest was to raise awareness of the importance of cleaning up our own neighborhoods, said Maria Espinoza, board member and chair of the EAMD Clean-up Commmittee. She said that other efforts would also be used to get the public’s cooperation in this clean-up effort.
