C
Well,
I
won't
give
you
my
full
legal
name
but
I'm
Adrian,
Dearing
and
I
work
at
the
Columbus
Water
Works
I
have
been
fortunate
to
have
been
there
for
17
years
now
and
I
work
in
the
communications
department,
and
it
allows
me
to
come
out
and
do
great
things
with
organizations
like
yours
to
keep
Columbus
beautiful.
Several
other
areas
in
the
community
and
I
also
get
to
play
on
social
media
Graphics
design,
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
it's
a
great
job.
You.
B
Have
a
fun
job.
Yes,
you
need
to
join
our
team
full
time,
okay,
so
Adrian!
Yes,
this
is
not
your
first,
even
though
this
is
your
first
time
sharing
and
being
an
official
part
of
the
health
news
committee.
This
is
not
your
first
run
with
help
the
hooch
explain,
because
yeah
Columbus
Water
work
is
such
a
great
sponsor
and
they've
been
such
a
sponsor
for
so
long.
Yes,
ma'am
I
mean
it's
like
keep
Columbus
beautiful,
Columbus
Water
work,
we
go
hand
in
hand.
We.
C
Do
we
do
that's,
because
our
missions
are
so
closely
aligned?
It
really
is
we
we
both
work
so
heavily
towards
protecting
our
environment,
making
sure
our
community
has
what
they
need
from
the
resources
up
to
be
able
to
be.
What
we
are
today
and
and
my
experience
with
keep
Columbus
beautiful,
has
been
in
small
pieces
with
help
the
hooch
I've
always
been
joining
in
with
helping
to
get
the
word
out
and
helping
to
volunteer
I've
been
able
to
come
out
and
do
some
cleanups
I've
chased
tires
down
ramps
on
Lake
Oliver
and
it's
it's
exciting.
B
Absolutely-
and
it
is
really
important
that
you
say
you-
you
not
only
helped
out
with
the
planning
and
assisting
the
chair
from
Columbus
Water
Works,
but
you
as
well
join
in
the
fun
yeah.
You
did
the
cleanup.
It's
always
always
say
a
cleanup
effort
is
the
easiest
way
to
just
make
good
friends
and
have
a
good
time
and
do
something
for
an
environment
and
your
community
at
the
same
time.
Exactly
that's
a
win-win.
Definitely
is
definitely
okay.
Well,
just
stay
tuned
guys.
We
will
be
right
back.
We're
live
here
again
with
counselor
Toya
Tucker.
B
B
What
do
you
do
in
your
everyday
life
as
the
manager
of
that
and
the
manager?
We
help
visitors
that
come
to
Columbus.
We
can
help
them
to
explore
Georgia,
making
sure
that
we
still
not
just
Columbus
all
over
the
state.
The
hotels,
restaurants
attractions
anywhere
that
they
can
explore
bed
and
breakfast
whatever
they
may
need.
B
We
are
here
to
help
it's
more
Georgia,
and
so
that
actually
makes
us
partners
because
we're
trying
to
keep
it
clean
and
beautiful
so
to
get
these
guests
to
come
on
in
and
enjoy
and
feel
like
comfortable
and
not
Littlefield,
while
they're
here.
That's
why
the
29th
annual
help
the
hooch
is
so
important.
B
Have
you
I
know?
This
is
your
first
year

not
your
first
time
dealing
with

what
you've
done
in
the
past

Oh,

I'm
happy

where
we
don't

So

000
