Curbside Vote, Tuesday, November 10!!

Below is a copy of the email I recently sent out to folks that are on the Bond County Recycling Association email list regarding the upcoming City Council meeting on November 10th. If you would like to be on this special list, please let me know and I will add you.

Curbside Vote -

This is a reminder that the Greenville City Council meets this coming Tuesday, November 10th, at 7:30pm at the Greenville Municipal Building. They will be revisiting and voting on the curbside recycling issue.

Yes, last month, the City Council voted 3-2 for curbside, however, they added some changes to the agreement that were not agreed upon by Doty. They will hopefully be voting in the new contract worked out by Doty Sanitation and the City of Greenville. It is SO important that
you be there for this vote. Each time it comes up there is a little more resistance and having the room packed sends a very clear message that there are indeed people that care about this issue in our community - people that want curbside despite the additional cost. Show the person that wrote the last letter to the editor that there are more than just a "shrill few", :') and that we care not just about ourselves, but we care about our community, each other, and this planet!

Please come. I know there is a school dinner of some kind, the Academic dinner, but perhaps you could do both. We will be shuttling back and forth from there ourselves. Bring a friend, tell a friend, and tell that friend to tell a friend!!

Get the word out folks. If you missed the last meeting, here is your opportunity to see history in the making! Be there when Greenville finally goes Green! This is the final vote on the matter (hopefully :') ) so it means showing up and having a sign waving in the air!

Have a great day and I'll see you on Tuesday evening,

Sincerely,

Linda Peters
