LPS Gift Card Drive
The Lunenburg Public School Secretaries are very excited to kick off our 7th Annual Holiday Gift Card Drive. Every year we receive gift card donations from you, our generous community. Thanks to you, we have helped numerous families over the past 6 years. We will be collecting gift cards until December 6th, you can drop them off at any of our schools, send them in by mail or send e-cards to mbowen@lunenburgschools.net.
Some suggested gift cards that would benefit families with all age children could be Walmart, Target, Visa, and Dollar Store. Additionally, grocery gift cards benefit everyone these days. Of course, a gift card to any store of your choice is greatly appreciated.
If you are unable to give this year, spreading the word in town is also essential to help us to reach our goal. We would like to thank you in advance for joining us in this amazing opportunity to help those who may be struggling a bit this year. It truly does take a village!
With Sincerest Gratitude,

Recycle Challenge
The Lunenburg Lions Club is participating in the TREX recycling challenge. The challenge is to collect 1,000 lbs. of plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill. The plastic is recycled into TREX products and the Lions Club will receive a beautiful TREX bench if they can reach their goal.
Plastic that is acceptable is clean, dry grocery bags, bread bags, bubble wrap, plastic shipping envelopes, cereal bags, salt, pallet or wood wrapping, newspaper bags, ice bags and the like.
We can all do our part to help save our environment. Plastic can be dropped off at the donation boxes located at Lunenburg Middle High School lobby. There are other collection boxes located at the food pantry at TC Passions and Ritter.
