John, I wanted to let you know what a wonderful job Bet Savich did last week to help the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. I volunteer there, and found that the just-closed Marsh West had donated over a thousand wall calendars to the Food Bank along with other things. The Food Bank had no use for the calendars and was about to recycle them, so I contacted Bet, she sent out an email to her community partners, and I was able to find homes for more than 700 calendars at the Bloomington Housing Authority, Hannah House, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Crawford Apartments, MCCSC Adult Literacy, the MCPL's VITAL program, SCCAP, and the Animal Shelter. Bet made it so easy for me to locate the nonprofits that could benefit from these calendars, the Food Bank didn't have to drown the Recycling Center in calendars, and the nonprofits' clients got nice calendars for free. She offers such a wonderful service for the city! Best, Margie
