Would You Lend A Hand?
DRAGnet is a Minnesota-based national 501(c)(3) non-profit group -- the
only one currently EPA licensed for computer recycling and hazardous
waste handling. Our recycling project helps people properly dispose of
unwanted computer equipment according to current waste management
guidelines. Our mission is supplying refurbished computers to those
traditionally unable to afford even used computers.
You can help us by letting people who need these computers know how to
get in touch with us. Spread The Word! Post the top portion of this
announcement in your corporate communication, web page, newsletters,
bulletin board and other employee/constituent communications. Encourage
your local newspapers and broadcast media to help inform the public.
DRAGnet works with individuals, businesses, corporations, institutions
and government agencies to assure that computer technology is properly
recycled and -- most importantly -- reused instead of polluting
landfills. If you are interested in learning about how you can
participate in supporting this work, please contact:

I believe you just received a msg. from me that was erroneously
addressed to you. I meant to respond to the person who forwarded a
public service announcement regarding your program. I apologize. I am
in charge of a non-profit program that supplies computers, mentors,
free labs and miniclasses to the disabled, called "New Horizons". I
hope you will take a look at our homepage and comment, as I would like
to establish contact with your organization. Our homepage may be
reached at:

Hope to hear from you.
