ALERT!!
Gerber Baby Food Savings Bond
(http://www.gerber.com)

CAUTION!!  A note has been sent home with school children indicating that a class action law suit against Gerber has been settled and children born within a specific time frame are eligible for a $500 Savings Bond.  Parents are asked to send a copy of their child's birth certificate and social security number.  

A check at the Gerber Web Page indicates that this is a fake!  FBI agents are monitoring the P.O. Box and returning the letters unopened.  Criminals are selling these birth certificates and social security numbers to aliens to enable them to enter the U.S.  

Please do not send your child's birth certificate or social security number to anyone!!

By Jeff Mayfield

Celebrating America Recycles Week

Buying recycled is key to recycling success

[NOV. 18, 2000]  The average American generates nearly 1,500 pounds of trash each year, creating more than 200 million tons of waste annually in the United States. However, because more Americans are recycling, the nation’s recycling rate is now more than 28 percent. This means the steel, aluminum, paper, glass and plastic we place at curbside or drop-off sites are really making a difference in reducing our nation’s waste.
