During the week of April 1, the Good Shepherd Mission
Council held a Recycling Program in conjunction with the Women's Group Garage
Sale. The Mission Council has worked
with an organization that takes in unwanted electronics and other items and
processes the materials to ensure that the items don't wind up in places that
are bad for the environment. Kathy spearheaded the publicity for this event and members of the Mission
Council were at the Tinker House from 8 am to 5 pm every day to receive the recyclable
items and accept donations that will go to support the Trade School in
Honduras.
The results were amazing - Several rooms of the Tinker
House were completely filled up with recyclable items. In addition, the recycling organization was able to go to people's homes
and pick up big screen t-v's and other items.
And, as always, Good Shepherd parishioners were generous with their
donations that will help improve the quality of life in
Honduras. Thanks to everyone for their
outstanding support. Our intention is to
do this event every year in conjunction with the Women's Group Garage Sales.
