Submit your best name for Firelands Local's new Plastic Boat Wrap recycling truck!

John's usual--


James & Firelands Local are having a naming contest for their new recycling truck that they purchased as part of an ODNR/OEPA Boat Wrap Recycling grant. I'm a fan of Susie Schmooshit, but that doesn't seem to be getting much traction. It's worth $50 bucks if they pick the name you come up with. Give your ideas to James Johnson either by phone (419-921-6400) or by email (james@firelandslocal.com).


CLI's regular programs will be closed this Friday & next Monday for the Easter Holiday. We'll send out a 1 call phone message. If you don't get that 1 call, you should contact me or anyone at CLI and let us know so that we can confirm that you are on our distribution list.


Kenilee Lanes' last Open Bowling Saturday was this past weekend (4/1). Thanks to everyone that came out to bowl with us this season. The money that we make from both open bowling and league bowling supports CLI Programs. FYI-- Kenilee Lanes is available for private rentals all year round/


That's all I have for this week. Keep those hands clean and have a good Easter holiday next weekend.

Firelands Local LLC

We need your help. Our new truck really needs a name!


We are having a contest to name it. The winning name will get a $50 Visa gift card.

If you are reading this letter, then you are eligible. The final decision will be made by myself and my staff. The contest will end on this Friday, 3/31.


I do ask for only 1 entry per person. Please keep them clean and professional. We will be placing the name on the truck itself. Entries can be emailed to James@Firelandslocal.com. You can also text me at 419-921-6400 or leave me a voicemail at that same number. Please make sure you provide your name and a method to contact you if you win.

 

Also, It is that time of year again. We will be having our annual shred day on 3/31 from 10-5.

The first 500 lbs. will be free and then only $.25 per pound above that. This is only for drop off on that day. WE hope to see you then.
