Last week went great! We sorted through 7.5 cubic yards of trash to
find hundreds of pounds of recyclables. The weather was beautiful
and it was a lot of fun.<br><br>
Your first assignment as volunteers is to recruit another person to come
along, even if just for part of the event. We need people power for
this event. Please bring a friend or fellow colleague to sort
through your neighbors trash:)<br><br>
The list of volunteers for the waste sort to occur next week (10/14/03)
is as follows: <b>Justin Adams, Amanda Graham, Dan Winograd, Marc
Fournier, Kelly Johnson, Kevin Brulois, Churchill Yong, Rachel Valdez,
Jonathan Tejada, Aron Walker, Jennifer Combs, Matt Zedler, Brian Foti,
Zhanna Davidovitz, Blossom Hoag<br>
