plans for next BOYD

[deanna <deemaki@ssm.ca>]

Hi everyone,

In case you haven't heard, the next BOYD is set for June 1 and 2.  We
found a location - St. Jerome's Church, which is behind Pino's IGA


The location is ideal because of the following features:
-wheel chair ramp, which can be used for our carts to wheel computers in
and out
-public accessible washrooms
-an admissions/coat check area
- large, bright, clean hall
-St. Jerome's will supply tables, chairs, dividers
-a kitchen
-a loading dock
-power throughout the hall
and it's FREE!

The Church is a little bit harder to find because of location, but we
will put up directional signs.

The format of BOYD will be very similar to last October's, with drop off
on the Friday for businesses and institutions by appointment only and
the sale on Saturday, from 10 am to 4 pm.

Pasted below are the areas of responsibility as decided on from our last
meeting.

The "cattle call" for volunteers will be done very shortly.  Screening
of volunteers will follow the cattle call.

We will be having a planning meeting the week of May 21, and maybe the
next week a few days before the event.


If you need anything please call Deanna at the office. 945-1573


Thanks, Deanna

News release June 2001


Bring Out Your Dead, Clean North’s popular computer equipment recycling
event, is happening
again!

This time we will be at the parish hall at St. Jerome’s Church.  This is
behind Pino’s IGA, off
Nicolas Street.  We’ll be there the first weekend in June, collecting
any old electronic equipment,
including computers, printers, fax machines, and VCRs.  The only thing
we can’t accept is TVs.

We will be accepting drop offs from businesses and institutions, by
appointment, on Friday the 1st
of June from 10 am to 4 pm.  Call 945-1573 to arrange a time that suits
you.

Drop offs from the public, as well as the sale of reuseable equipment,
will take place on the
Saturday, the 2nd of June, from 10 am to 4 pm.

Admission is $1, whether you’re shopping or dropping off.  This time we
have a fantastic
selection of door prizes, donated by Computer Magic.  The list includes
a 17 inch monitor, which
is a really sweet upgrade if you’re still using a 14 or 15 inch, and an
inkjet colour printer, as well
as numerous smaller items.  Everyone gets a chance at the door prizes,
whether dropping off old
equipment or browsing the used (but not dead yet!) equipment tables.

Any local charities wanting us to set aside equipment for their use
should visit
http://cleannorth.org/help.pl?topic=wishlist, download the form there,
and fax it or email it to us
at info@cleannorth.org.  We’ll do our best to fill these requests.
