Help the American
Red Cross rebuild lives simply by greeting customers in your local Fred

A Blanket." This virtual gift* then helps local families to get started
with rebuilding their lives after a house fire or disaster.
From September 11 - October 2, every Saturday we'll be greeting customers in Fred Meyer stores around the state. Just sign up for a two-hour shift at the store closest to home.

Become A Master Recycler: Course
Sept. 11 - Nov. 2 at Mosier Creek Terrance
For folks that are "gung-ho" about reducing waste and
recycling more, here's a great way to get the formal training needed to help
make a difference in your community: Become a Master Recycler through a class
offered by TriCounty Hazardous Waste & Recycling Program.
Similar to the OSU Extension Service's
popular Master Gardener program, participants will attend a series of mandatory
classes and field trips, and be required to volunteer at least 30 "payback" hours
in their communities.
The mission is to "bridge the gap between awareness and action by
motivating people to reduce solid waste in homes & workplaces."
Classes are offered free of charge to residents of
Wasco, Sherman & Hood River
counties.
Since starting last Fall, the program has completed two rounds of course training with 22 graduates
currently completing their "payback" requirements.
Their volunteer activities have included
helping with waste reduction and recycling at schools, on-the-job & in child
day care facilities; staffing booths at
local farmers markets; marching in local parades; litter clean-ups; helping with a medical
waste collection; helping at local hazardous
waste collection events; and doing recycled art projects with children.
The Fall 2010 Master Recycler course will be held Tuesday
evenings, September 14 - November 2 at the Mosier Creek Terrace in Mosier.
More info/application: www.tricountyrecycle.com
then click on "Master Recycler" link.
Or contact Cindy Brown at TriCounty Hazardous
Waste & Recycling Program at 541.506.2636.

DID YOU
KNOW?
"A dollar spent at a locally owned store is usually
spent 6-15 times before it leaves the community. From $1, you create $5-$14 in
value within your community."
"Spend $1 at a national chain store and
80% of it leaves town immediately."
