FMI 2007-2008 Mobil Project

The FMI was pleased to begin the Drainage Cleanup Project funded by MOBIL at Tun Joaquin Doi Street, going down to CK this last Sunday. Funding donated by MOBIL were recieved right after X-mas (what a great present) and we were able to put the funds to use right after all the holidays during the first Sunday in 2008. As you can see by some of the pictures that we are posting the Project was very much needed and the community needs to thank MOBIL for providing the funds that make it possible for the volunteers of the Friends of the Mariana Islands to cleanup the large drainage area. Though it will take several Saturdays and Sundays to finish the job as you can see by some of the other pictures we posted even on this first day of cleanup and with six and a half hours of work our volunteers "made a dent". We are always ready to have new people show up and volunteer some of their time to projects like this. We will be at this site again next Saturday and Sunday at about 8:00 AM and will be there until about 3:00 PM. On behalf of FMI we would like to thanks Mr. Angelo Villagomez (our advisor) and Ms. Eunjung Lee for joining us today for the Mobil Drainage cleanup project.

FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS WE THANK YOU MOBIL FOR YOUR GENEROUS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE 2007 TO THE FRIENDS OF THE MARIANA ISLANDS (FMI).
