Just go the email and joined tonight. I am the liason from St Marks in
Prattville and also the Stewardship Program director on our Vestry. I
am also a member of the Diocesan Task Force.

At St. Marks we just finished a project started in late Nov. We
collected old cell phones and gave them to the Sunshine Center in
Montgomery (an advocacy group for abused women). They use the fixable
phones so that their clients have immediate 911 access. They get some
money for other phones for parts.

I put a display on a table with some cell phone recycle fact sheets.
I'd be glad to send anyone a copy of the 2 fact sheets I developed for
the collection display. Recycling keeps the old phones out of the
landfill. They contain the battery and heavy metals.

We collected a little under 40 phones with chargers plus 2 old bag
phones and misc. chargers and parts. It's a good first project.
