    Birth at Weber's Store
    Sadly, the Citizens of Shannondale's efforts flagged and finally ended in 1999. Age, demographics and frustration took its toll on the picker-uppers. Some hardy souls continued their individual efforts, but the organized war on litter was stalled. In April of 2004 Shannondale and Beyond came into existence and a year later sponsored the first BRILLO meeting at Weber's Store on Mission Road.

    BRILLO Gets More Smarter, Even

    Yes, people do learn from experience and that certainly applied to the BRILLO padders. The map was refined with a color code of green(safe), yellow(caution) and red(dangerous) safety zones and now includes places for cell phone #'s to be able to communicate with team leaders and other pickup crews. The numbered areas

    BRILLO 2008 Growing

    Over the winter months informal chats at get-togethers and on the BRILLO Forum indicated that the 'padders were going to have a Banner Year. And that phrase banner Year turned out to be on the mark. The tireless(well, somewhat tireless)planners met in February to plan for an April or May Spring Pickup.
