Keep up the great work!
We have reached our first goal and our bench order has been placed!
 
But keep on collecting - we are doing a second bench and are already at 667.7 pounds!
Just continue to send pictures of your drop off and let us know the weight.
 
 
 Please email or text your picture and the weight to Melissa Kirk or Laura McBride to get it recorded at NexTrex to count towards our 1000 lbs for the bench. If you are unable to drop off the plastic yourself, please bring it to a meeting.
