Interesting Tidbits about Charles Glen

-The community was originally developed during WWII, but was recently 'regentified'
- Many residents voiced concerns about recycling; namely that you need to call Waste Management to get a bin, the service only comes every other week, and that all types of items (paper, plastic, aluminum) are placed together.
- Most citizens are unaware of the watershed being a part of their community. I was informed that part of the hospital is actually affecting parts of a stream past the Crestview Elementary School in a recent expansion project. However, citizens have expressed strong willingness to take part in conservation/cleaning purposes if they were aware of a program, problem, or a community commitment.
- The community appears to be relatively young, comprised of young families or individuals who recently moved into the town.
- The survey's ethnic makeup is predominately Caucasian, as of right now, with surveyed individuals of color thus far totaling near 30%

Message to Residents of Charles Glen

I just would like to thanks the community of Charles Glen for their hospitable responses to my survey over the past week and a half. Tonight I got 13 surveys done, doubling the amount done last week and achieving my goal of completing 25 total surveys this week. I have many interesting facts to post and will do so tomorrow morning. I will be back to Charles Glen and do another round of surveys tomorrow evening.

Again, thanks to all who participated tonight!
