This is her latest report submitted by Connie J.:
I was able to purchase 2 packs of white cardstock for $0.77 which will allow us to make 600 cards. I used $18 in Staples Rewards toward the purchase of the cardstock. We now have enough white cardstock to make 1,400 cards from the ink and battery recycling rewards. We also have four packages of 24 extra strength glue sticks. We also have another $23 in Staples Rewards from recycling 10 ink cartridges and batteries. Members: Connie will continue to collect batteries, ink cartridges and Christmas cards at our meetings.
