The Vineyard Conservation Society [VCS] reminds us that it is state law to recycle textiles. Keep unstained, usable clothes out of the waste stream by using the Red Cross collection bins to drop off usable, outgrown, or unwanted clothing, keeping them out of our trash. The Red Cross just added a new clothing and shoes bin at the West Tisbury School.
VCS offers a program at the Edgartown library on Tuesday, Jan. 30, at 4:30 pm, to learn how your lawn care affects our personal health and the quality of our water, or you might check out the Vineyard Lawn display in the lobby.
Big bunches of birthday balloon wishes and chocolate kisses go to Patti Linn tomorrow. Happy birthday on Sunday to Cathy Deese and Anne Downing.
