Virtual Recycling Presentation with Rosie Briggs of Eco-cycle
Wednesday, December 2nd  |  5:30pm  |  Join via Zoom!
Back by popular demand! Are you throwing things away that might be recyclable? Join Eco-cycle’s Rosie Briggs as she brings a virtual presentation to HTC. Eco-cycle is one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit recyclers. Rosie will go over the “why” of recycling and Zero Waste, and why we care about it as a climate solution. She will also discuss the most problematic contaminants in the recycling, and answer all your questions about what you CAN put in your recycling bin! At the end of the presentation, she will have a Q and A to help clarify and answer any additional questions.

 

Looking to brighten your front door or maybe one in your home for the upcoming holiday? There are 6 wreaths to choose from, ranging from Merry Christmas to Happy Hanukkah! One of these wreaths is sure to be perfect! Heritage Todd Creek Lifestyle is working with Cat Nowak to provide a unique opportunity this holiday to make a wreath or purchase one to put together! Feeling crafty? Cat does all the cutting and will provide you with YouTube videos to walk you through the process. Running short on time or just simply not the crafty type? You can choose to purchase a completed wreath. For images of all the wreaths, please check here.

 

Join HTC Lifestyle as we bring Comedian Sam Adams right to the comfort of your home! Smooth. Clever. Hilarious. These words are used often to describe Sam Adams, who gained national attention by winning at the 2009 Great American Comedy Festival. Sam's energetic, comically-insightful act is 100 percent profanity-free and filled with observations about his every-day encounters. The Denver Business Journal once gave Sam a favorable review for "bringing down the house with a string of well-delivered lines that were notable for their lack of profanity, scatological or sexual references."
