Thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Morgan Hill, Boy Scout Troop 799 and Pacific Corporate Solutions for helping us have a very successful eWaste Event held on April 9, 2011. We were pleased to have five of the Kiwanians attend lunch today, April 28th, to present the check (and cash) to Friends of the Morgan Hill Senior Center.

The actual amount paid by John Varela's company, Pacific Corporate Solutions was $2,480.96. It really bothered Anthony Goularte that it hadn't hit $2,500, so out of the generosity of his heart, he kicked in another $20.

from Friends of the Morgan Hill Senior Center.
We also thank Nob Hill Foods for stuffing flyers into grocery bags and to Thinker Toys for offering a 40% off coupon to those donating eWaste. Pictures of the event go to the "Events" menu item.
It is important to thank the Friends of the Morgan Hill Senior Center volunteers who passed out flyers to Morgan Hill businesses and helped market the event which led to its huge success. They are: Sheila Hill, Jeanetter Riley, Cricket Rubino, Linda Tarvin and a youth volunteer, Jonathan Davis.
The money raised goes into the Friends of the Morgan Hill Senior Center fund at the Morgan Hill Community Foundation. These funds are ultimately gifted to the Centennial Recreation Senior Center for programs, services and operations.
