Have fun creating and recycling this fall
After the first day of school arrives , the rest of the year just seems to fly by . County fair , Halloween , Thanksgiving and then Christmas … woosh !
If you have kids in your life , it ’ s always fun to have an activity to keep them occupied during breaks , decorate the house or to make and give as gifts . It ’ s twice as nice if those activities are inexpensive and have the added benefit of reusing and recycling items you already have .
Here are a few ideas to help keep little hands busy and reusing items you already have around the house .
Halloween
Make a glass jar “ mummy candle ” using any size glass jar , cotton gauze and a battery-operated votive . Mix flour in water to the constancy of gravy ,

Recycling with Tammi
dip gauze strips in and then wrap around the jar . Allow to dry and decorate with eyes and mouth and place the light inside .
Reuse plastic or paper bags or old pillow cases for trick-or-treat bags . For safety , decorate with reflective tape or glowin-the-dark paint .
Do you still use dryer sheets ? Reuse “ spent ” sheets by turning them into decorative ghosts . Glue “ googly eyes ” on them and use thread or yarn to hang them .
Thanksgiving
Make place cards out of cereal or cake mix boxes . Cut rectangles and fold in half . Decorate the
“ plain side ” with paper or fabric scraps and write guests ’ names on them .
Don ’ t forget the birds . Smear toilet paper rolls with peanut butter and then roll in birdseed . String yarn through and tie so it can be hung on a tree branch for feathered friends .
All of those old food containers really come in handy after a big family Thanksgiving dinner . Bring your own containers ( BYOC ) to take home or send home leftovers .
Reuse is the second of the three R ’ s in Reduce , Reuse and Recycle , so reusing is even better than recycling to help reduce waste . Have fun discovering new ways to reuse things in your home .

it . But this building used to be the gas station , and I had to rethink that . It has turned out lovely , and I am a big fan of the library .”
The new library was to be housed in the former Apple ’ s Pennzoil Station at the corner of Main Street and state Route 93 . The station was transformed into a pleasant library with a new interior , designed by Pamela Maxfield-Ontko and constructed by Carl Cognion Construction . The library staff and members from the West Lafayette Rotary Club , West Lafayette Lions Club and West Lafayette

Catherine Miller , a Rotary member , reflected on the Rotary ’ s involvement throughout the years . “ When I moved to West Lafayette , the library became my second home . My husband was very involved with the Rotary , and this was his pride and joy . He would be very happy to see it used this way . I used to

get books on tapes at the library all the time . If I didn ’ t get them back on time , Nellie wouldn ’ t fine me . She would say , ‘ That ’ s OK . Just get them back .’ We ’ re proud of the fact that the library still has a little bit of Rotary in it .”
In 2005 the West Lafayette Rotary Club built an outdoor reading shelter behind the branch library as its centennial project with seating provided by Eagle Scouts .
Andrea thanked the Rotarians for their help throughout the years and the Janusian Club for their outdoor seating in 2009 .
