Here's some good news - I just had a reminder from Helen Morrison on W.Shore Rd. about the on-going bottle drive some of the Cabot School students are having to help fund a trip to France in the spring of 2008. Most of us have returnable cans and bottles accumulating during the summer, and here is a convenient way to handle that and at the same time help these students to further their education. Helen's message:

The Cabot High School students going to France in April, 2008, will be doing another bottle drive Satuday, September 8. If anyone wants to donate bottles and needs to get them out of their space, they can put them in front of my garage (brown with red doors) at 936 West Shore Road, or call me, 563-2488, and I will come get them. Thanks so much. --Helen

Now, you can't get much better service than that. Keep this offer in mind for when you are cleaning and getting ready to close camp around Labor Day, too.
