CANCELLED: "Recycle Your Life" in Decatur Feb. 13
Update 2/12/10 from Beth Bond bethbond@bellsouth.net: It is with a very deeply sad heart that I have decided that the safest, most prudent thing to do is to cancel Recycle Your Life tomorrow. Why cancel vs. postponed? We don't have a "snow" date (who the heck thought we would need one?) and the amount of time it takes to arrange all the moving parts is a good amount of work. We will have another one planned but not until June : )
