Good idea, great response & fantastic results

It started with Lisa Shaffer's good idea to deal with the pollution that is the yard sign post-election by asking all supporters to drop off signs at two location. She found organizational support from Councilwoman Barth and other key volunteers and the community of Shaffer and Kranz voters brought 400 signs. These Shaffer signs, towering over little miss Levan, will be repurposed. The paper signs were recycled and the metal stands will be sold back to the local printer.


The added bonus was this great haul of food donated at the sign drop-off site at Lisa's request, shown here in her car, before she headed to the Community Resource Center.

These photos were on Shaffer's Facebook page and are shown here for those not on Facebook and to simply enjoy this progressive approach to make simple acts say large things. I look forward to the model of hundreds of small, simple ways we can all help each other choose easy ways to live deliberately. Gratitude hardly covers it for our new Councilwoman and that dynamic cadre of volunteers.
