Hi everyone,

Hopefully you have gotten all you need from the Valentine events. I don't know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with all the free training. It's so exhausting trying to keep up.

Be sure to work on recycling points. Last year we got lots of new items at the Recycling Centre for Rubbish Revival at the end of March.

I've switched over to March items for quizzes and raffles. If you would like to help out, here is this month's focus:

MARCH (St. Patrick's Day, Fashion Frenzy, Rubbish Revival)
Anything from previous St. Patrick's Day events, Green, Gold/Golden, Lucky, Unlucky, Rainbow, Emerald, Clover, Shamrock, Leprechaun, Pot of Gold items, Elven (Elf in December), Irish, Dublin, Gnome, Celtic, Paddy, Charmageddon, Sprig, Limerick, Mushroom, Toadstool, Moss, Fairy (not from rewards), March items

We have lots of events planned for you this month -- a Leprechaun Quest Contest, a dress up contest, a quick and easy Guess How Many Shamrocks in the Jar, and a word search. A special shout out to bluetaz2001 who volunteered to host 3 of those events this month.

If you have time in your schedule, we could use a few volunteers to host events in April and May. MM/MT me if you can help out.
