Race Against Waste - IRC Conference 2002

IRC's Annual Meeting and Breakfast		Recycler's Live and Silent Auction
Tuesday, May 7, 8:00 am Acknowledge and celebrate all of the hard work done by our volunteers during the past year and get an update on the Indiana Recycling Coalition's current projects and plans for the upcoming year. Elect new members to the IRC Board of Directors! If you are interested in serving on the IRC board or if you would like to recommend someone to be nominated for the IRC Board, contact the IRC office for a nomination form to be received at the IRC office by April 19, 2002.	.	Tuesday, May 7. Bidding starts at 3:15 pm and continues with a reception 5pm-7pm "BID HIGH, BID OFTEN" - the cry to be heard at the IRC Conference! Co-chairs Pam Byers and Amanda Hennessy are rounding up a great collection of items you can't live without. Indiana collegiate memorabilia from around the state will be a feature this year. One of our members has arranged for a couple of postconsumer recycled content chairs to appear on the block, alongside the HDPE Hand Chair (back by popular demand - wild color yet to be determined!) Find a treasure among our reuse donations, and enjoy environmentally-friendly soaps, field guides, and how-to books. As always, we'll have a wide variety of recycled-content items for you to give as gifts - or to keep for yourself! View and bid on this collection of "cool stuff" throughout the afternoon on Tuesday. A few special items will be auctioned live to wrap up this fun event. A light reception and cash bar begin at 5:00 pm. Help the IRC win the Race Against Waste! If you have something to donate to the auction, it's not too late! Contact Pam Byers at (765) 762-1433.
