1. Oakley Science Week wrap-up
Recap on
Oakley Science Week event. Showed committee short video on event. Event
successful bringing in about 300 visitors to ISD. Staff provided five full
hayride tours of the facility and distributed information on ISD programs about
FOG, Wipes and Salt. The maintenance staff offers a chance for the public to
see their operation and equipment. Native Birds Connection was a big hit.
2. Cityhood Celebration booth and Ad specialties
(Recycle
bags, etc.)
Committee
decided to sponsor booth again as ISD did last year. They also wish to purchase
two booths (one comes for free for sponsorship). The committee also discussed
ordering advertising specialties, including recycled bags, pens, beach balls
with logo, and one more item.
The Committee also discussed making small sized bacon soaps that can be
distributed as part of the FOG campaign. The soaps will be distributed for free
in an effort to show that there are recyclable uses for FOG rather than pouring
it down the drain.
