Recycle Old Paint, Batteries Do you have old paint that you’ve been meaning to recycle? Used motor oil or batteries stacking up in the garage? On Saturday, April 23 from 8am-12pm, local Girl Scout troops are offering opportunities to recycle this waste in southwest Austin safely and responsibly.

Troops will accept sealed containers of paint, used motor oil and antifreeze, along with donations of used batteries, including car batteries. The waste will be transported from three drop off locations to the Austin Recycling Center for disposal.

Girl Scout Troop 1825 will be collecting at Clayton Elementary. Troop 2514 will be at Patton Elementary and Troop 2502 will be collecting at Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church on West William Cannon Lane. This location will also be accepting donations of gently used stuffed animals to donate to a children’s shelter.

The community-wide collection is the Gold Award project of Girl Scout Ambassador, Madeleine Reinhardt, a junior at LASA high school. Reinhardt’s own troop has held a similar collection for four years. “My troop has been able to help recycle hundreds of gallons of used paint and oil for the City of Austin. I want to inspire other girls to continue this effort but also to show them that they can have a positive impact in our community.”

To learn more information about the collection, visit earthdaycleanup2016.weebly.com.

The Walk to Cure Arthritis Austin Celebrates 10 Years The Walk to Cure Arthritis Austin is celebrating 10 years of helping find a cure, raising awareness and supporting those suffering from arthritis.

Arthritis is a serious health crisis. America’s number one cause of disability, it strikes one in every five adults and about 300,000 children — and it’s growing. By the year 2030, an estimated 67 million Americans—that’s one in four—will be diagnosed with some form of arthritis. Add family members and other caregivers, and the impact skyrockets.

Those who suffer from arthritis find everyday activities like climbing a few stairs, bathing, getting dressed or cooking a painful battle. They are accustomed to saying no to so many of the things that bring them joy. The Arthritis Foundation’s purpose is loud and clear: to conquer arthritis and be the Champion of Yes for all those who suffer from it.

The Walk to Cure Arthritis Austin is Saturday, April 23 at Concordia University. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the walk will start at 9:30 a.m. The event will feature one-mile and threemile courses as well as activities for the whole family, including the family dog! This year’s walk will feature a Senior Zone, a Kid Zone, a Dog Zone, music from the Bruce Smith Band and breakfast tacos from Maudie’s!

Whether you have a connection to arthritis or are just looking for a great community even to support, please join the hundreds of walkers fighting arthritis! Attendees will include our special 10th anniversary walk honoree Kaylan Berry who was the very first walk honoree ten years ago when she was just six years old. The walk will also recognize child honoree Jacob Lively, adult honoree Jane Ayala and medical honoree Dr. Hilton Gottschalk.
