A Record Month for the BARS Scholarship Fund

We did it — $8,075.95 collected in July 2018 for the scholarship fund — a new BARS record! We handled 161,519 cans and bottles. That is a lot of trash that isn’t along the road. Above is the last load out crew on July 31st. The crew in photo above left to right are: Don Haviland, Norm Wilson, Dick Ossen, Ed Lajoie, Jack Walker, Ralph Dagwan, Penny Scott, Steve Hoxie, Rick Ryan, Lenny Clark, Wayne Lish, and Bob Parsons.

A huge thank you to Betty Haviland, Chairman of the Recycling Committee, and Bill Shumway for the tremendous amount of work they did. Thank you to Andy Newman for his posts on the website and Facebook promoting the July recycling as well as emails to members requesting volunteers.
And above all, thank you to all the people who stopped by and donated their returnable bottles and cans to BARS during our month at the recycling shed at the Barnstable Transfer Station.
