Recycle Old Electronics

I was just sent a notice that they are going to have another recycling event in Kingston to collect old electronics. I have gotten rid of old or broken things this way myself. It is a great way to recycle old devices so that they are not just stuffed into some landfill somewhere. Here is the information.

Recycle your old electronics

Saturday, September 29^th (households), 9 am – 1 pm.

400 Schwenk Drive (near Kingston Plaza), Kingston

Harmony that rivals Crosby, Stills, and Nash

Linda & Bob McDonald - Always Helping

No matter where they are at any given moment WCA members Linda and Bob McDonald are always ready to lend a helping hand. They work tirelessly for their community here in Woodland Valley and recently were helping out down in Jacskonville, Florida. While they were there they were quoted in a local Florida newspaper about the effect that higher gas prices are having on home meal deliveries to seniors. Check out what they have to say at the link below.

I know Bob & Linda are always ready to help me with things for the community association. So I wanted to put up this video and take this time to give them a big shout-out for always being there for their community. Thanks Bob and Linda for all that you do!!!
