How
are these related to the Mission and Service Fund? You have
the opportunity of earning $$$ for the M&S fund by
placing these recyclables in the bin which has been delivered to our
church property by Abitibi-Bowater. The bin will be emptied
by them
once a month, or more often as necessary. You can also
contribute to a
greener environment and create more space in your house! And it costs
us nothing! Thanks for your help!
Please, no cardboard. Contrary to what it says on the bin, PHONE BOOKS are accepted.

by Jean Ross(Dec 17, 2006)
What happens to them? I collect those that are left at the Church. I cut them and tie them in bundles of 500. When I have 1000, I take them to the Jean Little School. To date, I have given 5000 labels. Through Campbell's Labels for Education program the school is receiving books for their library. Thank you one and all for saving them for a good cause and keep up the good work.
Cancelled Postage Stamps
by Ross IrwinFor many years the United Church Women have collected used postage stamps and similar postage items. At one time they sold them to a non-church person but he gave up as the quality (what he could sell them for after soaking off an envelope) was not high. He wanted pretty commemoratives. So the stamps piled up in the kitchen. I have collected stamps for many years so I undertook to take these stamps and give a donation to the United Church Women at the end of each year. What I do is go through them and extract anything that strikes my fancy, the balance I give to my son in Ottawa who has a contact to take bulk non-sorted stamps. If any other stamp collector member would have an interest in doing this project they are most welcome. Just let me know. I am also interested in stamped post cards, and even postage meter impressions but I don't get any.
