Recycling Program
You may bring your used Ink Cartridges and Old Cell Phones to discard with us on Fridays. You can also bring them on Tuesday Nights to the meetings and drop them in the receptacle provided near the sign in desk.
The club receives a cash donation for the used items and we keep them out of the Land fills.
Our recycler will take all Original Equipment Manufacturers ink jet cartridges and toner cartridges; they will not accept “compatible” cartridges from Staples, Office Depot Etc.
LOST AND FOUND
Quite often items are left behind at our meetings and well meaning members take them home with the intention of returning them at a future meeting, If anyone found any such items or left something behind at a past meeting, it is not too late to speak up, We do have a lost and found box where you may find your belongings and place what you found that was left behind. Often we find serving items left behind after one of our pot luck dinners. Talk to Don Brown, Steve Holst, Harlean Estrada or Barbara Marino and we may reacquaint you with your items.
