Thanks for the headsup about hazardous waste day at transfer station. Did not know about it until reading about it this morning. We managed to get to TS with some old paints, pesticides, etc., before noon. Thanks again, Beth. You are doing a great job!
I was so impressed with the troop drive this past weekend , If you ever want to meet some of the truly special people in the world. I can tell that is the place to be. Lisa,Steve and Deb, you are amazing people.
