Trex Plastics Challenge Update
The 9th bench is being assembled and will be given to Green on Main.We have begun collecting plastic film towards our goal of 1000 pounds of plastic film for the tenth recycled bench that will be given to Elm Hill School. To date, 7,244 pounds of plastic film (over 3.5 tons!) have been removed from the waste stream since we started this project in February of 2023, delivered to Shaws and heading to Trex for recycling. Please continue to bring your plastic film to the Springfield Town Library.

SERVICE ABOVE SELF
Immediate Past President Emma welcomed all to the Nov. 5, 2024 club meeting held at our new location, Springfield Area Parent Child Center's Training Center. For the thought of the day, she offered this quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt: "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith"
BOWL OF LIFE: (members put three things about themselves on paper and place into a bowl and then we try to identify the member)
This member's clue was: "I absolutely love ice cream" — No one fessed up so we will have to set this up another time.
