Ladies, please remember to bring your old phonebooks, newspapers and magazines to December's meeting for recycling. I will take all materials from the meeting to the recycle center on Lime Street. Let's all do our part for a healthier environment.

About recycling, there is a place on Bailey Road, near the ball field, that takes several items including plastic, glass, and aluminum. There are actually TWO separate recycling places on Lime Street. One is the commercial place that buys metals. There is also a public recycling center on Lime Street.

Thank you - Tracy Lynch!
