[Newleaf] one last promotion before Spring Break

[Roger Guzowski]

Thanks Terra,
 
We do a collection of donatable items at the end of the year (those of you who were here last year may remember the large boxes on pallets in each residential area).  Would love New Leaf's help promoting that later in the Spring, and especially helping to keep it organized.  One problem that we have that time of year is that things get so disorganized (and picked through but not put back), that some otherwise salvageable stuff gets contaminated and ends up discarded as trash.

Hey guys and Roger,
Just curious... is there a lot of still-useable stuff thrown out? Should there
be any kind of donation box or something? IS there a donation box already? Some
colleges have tag sales at the end of the year to raise money for charities.
Something to think about and maybe work on.
Terra
