Got two hours?  Volunteers urgently needed on Saturday, 9/12 at Falls Church’s end-of-summer “Recycling Extravaganza”

Falls Church is holding a “Recycling Extravaganza” on Saturday, September 12 from 8:30 to 2:30.  This is a great opportunity for us to collect wheelchairs, walkers, canes, crutches, braces, splints and strollers for our mission to Comayagua in November 2010.

This event is on the same day that we ship our container from our warehouse. So we need help at both locations. Therefore, if you don’t have a half day to help load the container then email Arnie Oshinsky (email address is below) to sign up for your 2 hour shift at the Falls Church Recycling Extravaganza.

We need only 5 more volunteers to man the Brigade’s recycling station.  A minimum of two people for each of three shifts — 8:30 to 10:30, 10:30 to 12:30, and 12:30 to 2:30.  It’s just two hours from your Saturday – great company, a great cause and sunshine as well!  Duties include greeting and accepting donations from people, then loading them in a truck, moving them to the warehouse and unloading.

The Extravaganza is held near the Falls Church Recycling Center, just off route 7 where Don Beyer Volvo is located.  The address for the property yard is 217 Gordon Road (we are across the street at the meter shop and warehouse).

Falls Church City workers will be in the streets directing traffic to the city parking lot on Shreve Road (behind the property yard).

To volunteer, please contact Arnie Oshinsky (rosearn@comcast.net).

PS: Saturday, October 3 is the Arlington County Recycling Extravaganza from 8:30 to 2 PM. We’ll need help then too. More information will follow.
