Event announcement, and SEEKING VOLUNTEERS!!! Please help out if you
can. And, of course, please help spread the word!

I also made an info packet about the event, which includes educational
info and resources about electronics recycling, but can't figure out
how to send attachments to this group. If you are interested, or
would be willing to post a few flyers in local businesses, please let
me know and I'll send it to you directly.

Thanks so much,
Leila Goldmark

SAVE THE DATE: Consumer Electronics Recycling Fundraiser, Jan. 24-25,
2012, 3-6pm.

The Carrie E. Thompkins (CET) PTA Green Team’s next recycling activity
– an electronics recycling fundraiser — will not only help you
responsibly dispose of your broken and unwanted consumer electronics,
but also raise $$$ for your children's enrichment programs.

Check out the list of items we can collect.
• Cell Phones
• Inkjet Cartridges
• Laptop Computers & Notebooks
• iPads & Tablets, iPods & MP3 Players
• Digital SLR Cameras & Lenses
• Digital Cameras & Camcorders
• Handheld Game Systems
• Game Consoles (Xbox, Wii, PS3)
• Range Finders & Sky Caddies
• GPS Devices & Radar Detectors
• Ebook Readers
• Mobile Hotspots & MIFI Devices
• 4G USB Air Cards
• TI Graphing Calculators
• Gold, Silver, and Platinum Jewelry

We NEED VOLUNTEERS at the recycling event to help screen donations –
it’s important that we don’t allow people to leave items that are not
on our list, and we need one volunteer for each category above. If
you can pitch in, please get in touch with me
(le...@greenrainbowrevolution.com)...or simply reply to this message.

Michelle, you are awesome! Can I put you down for Wednesday?

Anyone else out there able to volunteer? We could definitely still
use more help :) And if you can't help, don't forget to come drop off
your junk! Hassle free...

Thanks all!

Hooray! The additional information that I keep trying to distribute
is now available online. If you are interested, a link to the
document called "Electronics Recycling Info" can be found on the PTA
website:
http://cet.croton-harmonschools.org/res_view_folder.aspx?id=769e1337-9441-4eae-a9ed-930e9680cda6&userGroupId=6a02737d-d73f-40de-ad24-cae0cb6fb431&userGroupType=G

You will find more information on the recycling fundraiser event, as
well as general information on where/how to recycle other electronic
waste. The Resources include a link to "The Story of Electronics," an
excellent short animation that I would encourage you to watch with
your kids...very informative and fun to watch. .

Cheers,
Leila

FYI, if you do plan to participate, please do not bother sending the
"acknowledgement" slip back to the school...just show up. This should
have been removed from the form.
