We’re looking forward to sharing our accomplishments over this past year, including some special thanks, bringing everyone up to speed with our exciting programs in the works.
We’ll have lots of opportunity for “social distance mingling“, seeing old friends, making new acquaintances, and even joining together with a fun activity to help name our reusable takeout program. (Start thinking now!)
Due to Covid-19, we have decided not to offer refreshments. However, we hope you will bring your own food and drinks in your own reusable containers! And to celebrate the launch of LexSORT, we will provide a bin for composting any food waste you have!
Thank you again for your time, dedication, and support.
We hope you can attend. Please let us know if you can attend with this RSVP link!
