Celebrate Earth Day!

Celebrate Earth Day!

On Saturday, April 20th, Dove’s Community Recycling Center is having a special event for Earth Day!  In honor of this, we will be offering .50 per pound for aluminum cans.  Alpha Chi Omega sorority from Millikin will be there helping us.  The event is from 8am to 1pm at 130 W. Cerro Gordo.

Did you know?
 
ü  We have new hours!  Thu:  Noon-5pm  Fri & Sat:  8am-Noon
 
ü  We work with Macon County Environmental Management picking up recycled paper at the schools across the county.  We probably pick up at your child’s school!
 
ü  The Dove Recycle Center is all about the COMMUNITY.  Because of that, you have three options when recycling your cans:
1)      Keep the earnings for yourself
2)      Donate the earnings to Dove, Inc.
3)      Donate the earnings to your local church or favorite community organization

Come out and visit us and show your support for Earth Day!

You don't have to be able to Dance to do Baskets

  Growing up in the world of dance, one of my favorite things to do each year is participate in The Nutcracker Ballet. My favorite part? Giving the audience a magical Christmas experience with the perfect setting of lights, music, glittery costumes, and refined steps by ballerinas. The audience is transported to a magical land of sweets that makes even adults feel like small children in awe and wonder. Of course, that’s just what the audience sees!

After several years, I have started comparing the Christmas Baskets Process to that of the process for The Nutcracker Ballet.

This includes the Nationally Renowned Mother-to-Mother program, a programming concept that has been widely adopted across the country. Sue’s presence still shines through those of us who have come along beside her. Her commitment to...
