Reminder: This Saturday Recycle Electronics

I don't know about the rest of you, but we have more than one old computer and stereo stored in the basement. I am so glad to have an opportunity to get rid of them safely and with a tax deduction to boot! Thanks to Pat R. fo finding this info for us. I'll be at Sam's from 8-9 am on Saturday if you want to drive out your electronics for you.
