Kiwanis raises money
with recycling
ALPINE — The Kiwanis Club of Alpine is helping the
Ronald McDonald House of San Diego to raise money through a
recycling program. There are two methods which the club is
employing; collecting pull-tabs from aluminum cans, and
collecting Hotels and Motels bar soap and
shampoo/conditioners.
The money is used to help occupants of the House who
have sons and daughters in the The Rady Children’s Hospital
that are suffering from cancer and other diseases. The soap
and shampoo are also distributed to the occupants to help
them with their daily needs.
The Kiwanis Club of Alpine has so far collected 75
pounds of the pull-tabs.
If you can help please contact Kiwanian Dick Rabell at
445-5712, or you can drop off any donations at The Alpine
Sun office at 2144 Alpine Blvd.
