Hi Terrylynn. I love these recycling and shredding events. Something so good for all of us and the environment.
I know, I am enjoying the networking and getting it all together...and have an awesome committee helping me. And we'll raise lots of phone cards for soldiers...eh. Thanks for commenting Gary.
