This month’s featured agen-
cy is Boys and Girls Club of
Western Lane County’s Sum-
mer Program. This program
runs from June 18 to Aug. 16
and serves approximately 60
kindergarten to grade 12 stu-
dents, providing them with su-
pervised activities, meals and a
healthy environment. The cost
of the program is $900 for the
entire summer, but many of
the students receive scholar-
ships and teens only pay $50
for the summer to encourage
them to participate. Many of
the students would be on their
own without this important
program.
Attendees at the June FACC
meeting are encouraged to do-
nate art supplies (pens, pen-
cils, crayons, markers, paints,
etc.) or sports equipment (all
kinds of balls, mitts, badmin-
ton rackets and birds, etc.)
or to donate cash, which can
be applied to the scholarship
fund.
There will be no July FACC
meeting, as the board will be
holding its annual planning
retreat.

FACC, call 541-999-2927.

All glass containers are recyclable.
Clear, brown, green, yellow, blue, big, small
-- You name it! Feel free to place all types of
glass bottles and jars in your recycling bin.
Because jar tops are made out of metals
and plastic, it's best to remove them. It's
always best if materials are cleaned before
being put in your recycling bin. Th is helps
to avoid contaminating any paper that
might be mixed in with your glass.
