Stephanie Ulmer gave a great talk about what the Western Placer Waste Management Authority does with waste that we generate. The One Big Bin that we use in Lincoln is dumped to the Material Recovery Facility sorting machinery. Through a combination of magnets, electro-magnetic separation, screening and manual sorting, the waste is sorted with a lot of the waste being recycled (sold). Our green waste is composted and sold. They also collect hazardous and electronic wastes with the facility being open everyday. They also collect pharmaceuticals and batteries, with local programs to collect these locally in Lincoln.
Art presented Stephanie with an appropriate children's book " What Happens to our Trash" that she signed for distribution to our library.
After call to order and the pledge of allegiance, there was a 15-minute meet and talk session.

Service Project - Visit to VillaDelRey and Lincoln Meadows
Thanks to the leadership of acting Service Chair Kimberly Fricke, ~9 members and a friend ventured to these two senior care facilities on Saturday morning to deliver Easter Gift bags. The gift bags contained puzzle books, crossword puzzles, pinwheels and small boxes of candy. Most of the residents were very pleased with our visit and appreciated the gift bags, conversations, and attention that members gave. A very rewarding experience.
