We would like to extend a special thanks to the teachers at Lincoln County Public High School and the participating student body for their initiative taken in piloting a paper recycling program in the high school. In just 3 weeks, 4 teachers generated approximately 500-700# of paper and donated to the recycling drive on Saturday. What a great start! Also thanks to Sandi Hall of Cafe Jax & June Osler for the yummy treats provided to the volunteers and to Neil Temple, Napa Auto Parts for the use of his forklift, and to Budget Truck Rental in Kalispell for the discounted truck rental.
And Recycle Eureka recognizes the local cub scouts, parents and other volunteers who help to make recycling possible in the Tobacco Valley. A very heartfelt and sincere thank you from all of us at Recycle Eureka to Dave & Tyler Purdy, Ed & John Suchy, James Dunn, Cynthia & Cordell Stramer, Tia & Colby Hammack, Brandon Griffiths, Chris Moen, Pat & Toni & Sean & Alice & Adam McCurry. Volunteers make it possible!
