Please bring aluminum pop and beer cans. Please do not bring glass or
plastic bottles or tin soup, vegetable, or fruit cans. Due to the length of
time before our next collection in March, I really expect the load to be
massive. I suspect it will set a new record in terms of weight. It will be
enormously helpful if the cans are already crushed when you bring them.
Thank you for your support.

HOW ELSE CAN I HELP?
1. If you have a large cargo trailer and would be comfortable loaning it to
me on a number of occasions or joining me in the parking lot for a few Sunday
evenings, please contact me.
2. The Saint Ambrose community has always been blessed with numerous
families and individuals with considerable volunteer energy. If you are such
a person, you could easily conduct your own aluminum collection efforts and
pass the cans along to me during on established collection date.
3. Every member of Saint Ambrose could solicit the cooperation of their
neighbors next door and across the street. Doing so could potentially
quadruple each family’s ability to secure aluminum cans.
4. Scout groups could take on this work as a service project.
5. Energetic volunteers might solicit access to aluminum cans from local
restaurants, bars, VFWs, and other businesses.
6. Independent and energetic collectors might also collect their own
aluminum, cash it in themselves, and send the money to school in an envelope
marked “aluminum fund”.
7. Adults might consider establishing an aluminum collection site at their
places of work and carrying home aluminum weekly.
8. Aluminum from households and neighborhoods that had been routed simply to
municipal recycling programs can instead be diverted to our school to pay for
the technology upgrades we need.
9. Nothing is easier than money. Folks who see the need to replace our
aging computers but who aren’t able to collect aluminum themselves might see
the sense making a direct financial contribution to the effort. Sending a
check to school in an envelope marked “aluminum fund” would be a much
appreciated gesture of support.
10. Finally, if somebody feels strongly about working on this project, I
could use a partner in organizing these efforts and communicating with the
greater community.
Thanks for finding a way to help in this undertaking.
