TGO Nature Center Facebook Group USED INK CARTRIDGES

We continue to accept used ink cartridges (we no longer accept the larger ink toners due to storage restraints). Please drop them off on the desk in the Nature Center Library as there is an acrylic top on the desk to prevent damage in case of a leaking cartridge. Placing in a plastic bag helps also!

Help Us Name This Handsome Critter...

We have a new addition to the Nature Center Porch. We would love to have everyone come and see him. The only thing is we need a name for him. I am inviting the community to come see him. Think of a great name and we will see who comes up with the best one (one name per person). If the name chosen has multiple entries, then a drawing will be held. The winner will get a dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies (to be delivered only in TGO). The name will be chosen in the Fall to give everyone a chance to choose a name. Send your entry to Sandy Juba at sjubatgo@gmail.com or drop in the box in the Nature Center porch. He used to sit next to the Addison Canal. I wish to thank Michele Lagalo, who completely refurbished him and made him the most handsome critter in the park.
