Old Town Elks Hold
Bottle Drive for Project Graduation
By Kyle Smart – Project Graduation
Chair
A bottle drive on April
12 appears to have been a success. We had many parent volunteers as well
as the boys from SAE Fraternity. Thanks to Dave Bryant for all his help and to
Bryant construction for use of their equipment. A final tally on the amount
collected will not be available for about a week but judging from the number of
loads transported that day, it appears we will make out pretty well. The Depot
at the University takes care of all the bottles for us but they have to work at
them over several days. Our next event is the UNO's event on May 7. If you are
the type that goes out to eat once a week or so anyway, grab a voucher from the
bar and go eat at UNO's on May 7. A portion of your meal cost will be donated
back to Project Graduation. A sign-up sheet for volunteers for graduation night
will be posted in the lounge the first week in May. Finally, on May 17 we will
be holding our final fundraiser for this year's class - the comedy show. The
cost is only $10 each and tickets are still available in the lounge. Thanks to
everyone that has helped to make this year's fundraising efforts successful.
