Volunteers Paint Shelter

1/7/2012 Thank you to everyone who helped!

Merry Oaks Shelter

The Community Shelter Project is underway. You can follow the progress by going to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dauntless-Contracting-Group-Inc/191323494231169 .

Part of our Energy Grant, the shelter will be an example of using recycled, sustainable materials and prepped for solar panel installation later. For joint use by the school and the community, it can be used for science classes and community energy-saving educational meetings.

Volunteers will assist with painting. It's a great example of cooperation between CMS and the community. Thanks to Heather Bolick for her work on our Energy Grant!

Composting Workshop

10/1/2011 Jen. W. organized a well-attended workshop for recycling/composting and Renee, volunteer Master Composter from Charlotte Wipe Out Waste explained to approximately 20 persons how to compost and why it is important. The hands on event included coffee, snacks, free compost bins and prizes. Composting has already made a difference in what goes in CLT landfills. Click on the image to enlarge.
