[Green] GSC recycling at Blues Festival THIS WEEKEND? Your input needed!!

[Dawn Hewitt]

Friends,

Tonight at 8 p.m., Jay Phillips called me, with apologies for asking so very late if the GSC would be willing to oversee recycling at the River City Blues Festival this weekend: Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday evening.  See their website:   https://bjfm.org/blues-festival/ <https://bjfm.org/blues-festival/> 

The recycling would be mostly bottles, few cans, and some plastic cups (used). Jay said he thought two people would be enough to staff two recycling containers at two locations, and that volunteers for this would get free admission (obviously).

The up side of this is that we’d be recycling, and encouraging recycling. The down side is that we wouldn’t make anything—no or few aluminum cans. Another down side is that we’re talking about an event just a few days away!! I, for one, can’t help. A friend visiting from out of town will be visiting me this weekend, and she would not enjoy staffing a recycling container on one side of the room while I am on the other. So, I’m looking for six volunteers: Two for Friday evening, 7-11:15 (or later); two for Saturday afternoon, from 1-5 (or later); and two for Saturday night, from 7-11:15 or later.

We’ll also need a pickup truck at the end of each session; bottles are likely to be heavy. 

Or, perhaps we should just decline this opportunity, saying we need more lead time. 

Please reply with your thoughts asap, and by noon Wednesday. I need to give Jay an answer. He will understand if we decline.

Thanks!
