After delicious deserts our members brought, we had a gift exchange, which is always so much fun! After the wrapping paper was torn open, we were reminded that Christmas paper, like any paper, is recyclable. Nancy told us about a company called "Sensible Recycling" on Sunbeam Road that recycles computers, phones, and does certified data destruction on hard drives. The company is veteran-owned and operated. And their services are FREE (including free pickup within a certain area). They take everything apart and recycle usable parts; nothing goes to a landfill. At last month's meeting we were given a handout from the University of Florida's Extension, Florida Sea Grant titled, "Five Things You May Not Know About Plastic Recycling." Don't just Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, but Rethink, Refuse, and Repair! A great New Year's Resolution!
A personal aside, I showed up an hour early because I didn't check my notes. They didn't make me leave or even work. What a great bunch of folks! I had enough time to bond with the dog and cat and tour the backyard where Deborah performs "Elopement weddings." as she calls them. Deborah was more than gracious in opening her home to us.
Please note that our January meeting date has changed to January 24. Other meeting dates are as noted on our Events and Calendar page.
