REPORT ON ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING
Updated on October 20, 2008 !
To date, we have recycled 18556.6 pounds of aluminum.
We have sent $22,354.98 to Optimist International
Foundation for (1) the Optimist International Children’s Cancer
Research Fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital, (2) the Optimist
International Children’s Cancer Campaign generically, and (3) the Maryland-South
Delaware District Children’s Cancer Campaign.
In addition to the Severna Park Optimist Club, major
contributors have been the Jacksonville OC and the Timonium OC. Many other
clubs have made contributions and all are appreciated.
We owe a special debt of
gratitude to David Bowman of the Fort
Smallwood Optimist Club for his efforts to collect and recycle from the several
zones of our district, as well as his relationship to the owner of Maryland
Recycle in agreeing to give us every penny that Maryland Recycle gets from the
aluminum company for our aluminum.
