As you should have heard by now. MEMS partnered with the American Red Cross and Wal-Mart to sponsor a “Fill the Sharps Container” drive for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.
Over the period of 4 hours a day for Saturday and Sunday we collected almost $13,000.00. We discovered that many people were looking for a way to give to the relief effort but were uncertain of a trustworthy conduit. Because of the community trust that you have built, people felt very comfortable giving to MEMS and the Red Cross.
This was such a success that we are doing it at least on more time this Saturday. We are planning on not only being at Little Rock and North Little Rock Wal-Marts', but also Conway, Jacksonville and Sheridan. Jacksonville Fire Department as well as Conway Fire Department are wanting to work along side us.
This is a volunteer opportunity that does not come along very often, If you would like to be a part, please contact either Tammy or Gary. We will meet at MEMS at 10:00 Saturday and be back by 15:00.
