Happy Anniversary & Thank You!
¡Feliz Aniversario y Gracias!
The Portland metro area Master Recycler program is 30 years old!
The Master Recycler Program is a story about an idea that was planted and tended to by volunteers and then grew to become a thriving movement. Anniversaries are a time to celebrate achievements and plan for the future.
El Program de los Expertos en Reciclaje es una historia sobre una idea que fue sembrado y atendido por voluntarios y luego la idea creció hasta convertirse en un movimiento próspero. Los aniversarios son un momento para celebrar los logros y planificar el futuro.
Origin Stories: why three Master Recyclers stayed connected 30 years after taking the class.
Betty and Jon Shelley (Class 2)
As part of our 30th Anniversary, we will be interviewing Master Recyclers and partners through out the year. Seems appropriate to start with interviews with Paul Barton (Class 1) and Betty Shelley (Class 2).
Historias de Origen
Como parte del 30 aniversario de Master Recycler, entrevistaremos a algunos Expertos en Reciclaje y nuestros socios. Parece apropiado comenzar con entrevistas con Paul Barton (Clase 1) y Betty Shelley (Clase 2).

Appreciations / Agradecimientos
Mr. Milhouse and Mr. Morris
David Milhouse (Class 76) reported more than 100 hours. Mr Milhouse spent much of his hours after Certification on a partnership between Life Change Church and Mudbone Grown Farm. He provided an important connection between the food distribution from the black-owned farm to homebound seniors who cannot come to a food box event. This was a perfect role for Mr. Milhouse who is a pillar in the community and has a heart of gold. Centurions are Master Recyclers who have gone above and beyond the 30-hour commitment for Certification. They are a special crew and we recognize them with the 100 button they can wear next to their badge. Thank you, Mr. Milhouse!!

David Milhouse (Clase 76) reportó más de 100 horas. El Sr. Milhouse pasó gran parte de sus horas después de la certificación en una asociación entre Life Change Church y Mudbone Grown Farm. Proporcionó una conexión importante entre la distribución de alimentos de la granja de propiedad de personas negras a las personas mayores confinadas en sus hogares que no podían asistir a un evento de caja de alimentos. Este fue un papel perfecto para el Sr. Milhouse, que es un pilar en la comunidad y tiene un corazón de oro. Los Centuriones son Expertos en Reciclaje que han ido más allá del compromiso de 30 horas para la certificación. Son un equipo especial y los reconocemos con el botón 100 que pueden usar junto a su gafeta. ¡¡Gracias, Sr. Milhouse!!
