What's up Buttercup?
Some of you earn your payback hours at work. Some of you lead groups, give presentations, and some of you may be feeling stuck. Either way we'd love to hear what you are up to, and if you need inspiration. Simply email Bailey (503.365.3191) and let him know what you have volunteered for, or why you haven't been volunteering. We care about your progress as a Master Recycler and are happy help!
