(No fooling!) Way to go, College Hill neighbors! Here are the amounts we collected and were paid: Aluminum cans--383 lbs. @ 55 cents/lb. $210.65 Misc. metals ("Shred #3 Loose Metal")--560 lbs. @ 9 cents/lb. 50.40 ATM rounding (+.35-.40 = -.05) --.05 *TOTAL $261.00 !!!* * This recycling drive was the second-most lucrative one of any that College Hill has had in 22-1/2 years of recycling! * We had excellent participation from many of our recycling "regulars," as well as from some neighbors who hadn't recycled with us very much or at all before. Plus, neighbors are doing a great job at separating the recyclables the way the recycling company needs them to do. Since the neighborhood recycling drives began in September 1990, our College Hill Association has received *$15,503.98* from recycling! We thank and appreciate very much all the people who contributed their recyclables. Many thanks also to the dear neighbor friends who helped to pick up and drop off the recyclables: Susan Duffy; Frank and Sarah Meadows; Ardith and Greg Woertz; and John Christensen. They have faithfully helped with recycling for many, many years, and we appreciate them very much! Our next recycling drive will be *Saturday, July 8*. Be sure to save your aluminum cans for the neighborhood. We also collect miscellaneous metals, such as copper and bronze, metal piping, and wiring. If you have items to pick up before the next drive please reach out the Christensens at 785-554-8068. Thank you College Hill!!

CCR 2094 is a bill that would make it more difficult for aging, food insecure Kansans to receive the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program benefits for which they are eligible. The bill would require 50-59 year-olds to document 30 hours of work a week or participate in a mandatory SNAP Employment & Training Program in order to receive Food Assistance benefits. It does not acknowledge the unique challenges faced by older Kansans in the workforce and it threatens the food insecurity of some of our most vulnerable residents. We hope to have organizations from every corner of the state *sign this letter * to encourage Governor Kelly to veto the bill and then ask the legislature to let her veto stand. Please *sign on to this letter * so we can show our elected officials that Kansans care. *Please note that this sign-on letter is for organizations only. If you would like to express your personal opposition to this bill, please reach out to your local elected officials directly. You can find your legislators at www.kslegislature.org .* *Your support for food insecure Kansans is deeply appreciated. * *Thank you!* [image: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] [image: Facebook] [image: Twitter] [image: Instagram] *WWW.HARVESTERS.ORG * This email was sent to: *ddolsky at mirrorinc.org * This email was sent by: Harvesters 3801 Topping Avenue Kansas City, MO 64129 We respect your right to privacy - view our policy Manage Subscriptions | Update Profile | Unsubscribe This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be protected by federal law.
