CHATHAM
TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY - To celebrate Earth Day, Southern Boulevard School Daisy
Girl Scouts recycled newspapers. Daisies collected and tied newspapers into
bundles.
Their leaders Jill Gallagher and Katie Lyons, provided transportation to the
Chatham Kiwanis newspaper recycling site, located in the Chatham Borough
parking lot near the old post office.
Ligertwood, who is the Kiwanis leader managing the newspaper recycling project,
set up the conveyor for the girls to roll bundles into the recycling container.
Close to the container is a wooden platform where residents drop off their
newspapers and every week about 10 Kiwanis members meet to load the newspapers
into the container.
Rich Behling, president of the club, was on hand to tell the Daisies about the
value of recycling.
Income from the sale of recycled
newspapers helps fund youth-oriented projects. Kiwanis is an international
service organization which sponsors student service clubs (like Key Club and
Builders Club) - their motto is "Serving the Children of the World." Visit the
club's website at "ChathamKiwanis.org" to learn more.
