Lou Krieger DJ: Help Keep the "Adopt A Tree Highway" Alive and Beautiful

In December 2002, I signed a proclamation with the Department of Transportation to beautify a large portion of the Highway 17 By-Pass from Glenns Bay Road south to the Garden City Connector. Since my termination from Sunny 106.5, my crew of Buddy Sessions, Patrick Burke and Gary Frank have signed on as the "Lou Krieger and Company Adopt A Tree Highway" crew. The fund for the project is "BROKE" since I was not able to do our annual fundraiser golf tournament. In fact, had it not been for the generosity of Linda and Larry Grosss at L & L Pools and Landscaping, we would have been "BROKE" a long time ago. Last year, Larry and Linda told me that "as long as I was affiliated with the highway, L & L would supply me with "free mulch".

And believe me folks, for those of you that don't see us, we use a lot of mulch. In the years that Billy Gardner helped us out with his dump truck, we used to do 2-3 tons of mulch at a time. I would estimate in that 2 mile beautified stretch we have laid over 500 tons of mulch in the last 6 years.

Here's the "GOOD NEWS" ....Up steps the Sons Of Italy Lodge 2662 and tells me they want to host a tournament for the "Adopt A Tree Highway" on November 1st at the International Club in Murrell's Inlet. With that "GOOD NEWS" in hand, I call my good friend Chris Beattie, General Manager at Legends in Concert to see if they could help with some prizes. Not only did Chris step up to the plate with lots of ticket for prizes, Legends In Concert will co-host and help advertise the tournament. Next, I remember Billy Huggins, General Manager from WPDE, Newschannel 15 telling me at the telethon for the WWII Veterans, if I ever needed any help with fundraising for the "Adopt A Tree Highway" to please let him know. Thanks to Billy Huggins and the crew at WPDE we will have a commercial with Ed Piatrowski for the tournament, and WPDE-TV will co-host and place a team in the tournament.
