Assisting The Community

8/12/2014

Bro. Furlong has been collecting pop can tabs for several years at Lodge meetings, 734 Club, as well as other outside Lodge events such as the Bread & Honey Festival, etc. This particular fundraiser has already enabled him to obtain two wheelchairs that assist community members with mobility issues as they move toward personal independence.

With the assistance of West Gate and River Park Lodges, Bro. Furlong been able to collect an amazing amount of these tabs to a tune of 43.0 lb. If you convert these aluminum tabs into a monetary measure you are looking at about $36.00 collected over the past 3 years. In actuality this does not sound like very much for the approximately 62,000 tabs collected, but the reality is that within the next couple of years if we can keep collecting those aluminum tabs at our current rate or even more we are looking at supplying a brand new wheelchair for person who is in need of one, or even two or three used chairs that have been refurbished.

Thanks to all of you that assisted Bro. Furlong.  He thanks you for assistance in this worthy endeavour reminding everyone that participated in this silent but effective fundraiser that brings hope to those that might not get it, or have to wait too long for a chance to receive this assistive device.
