KCS to Hold Luncheon: Launch Computer Recycling Program
Kannapolis - Kannapolis City Schools is trying to start a computer refurbishing program that would serve students and the community. "Our students would be trained after school to recycle and refurbish computers," said Tiffane Maltba, an organizer of the new program. According to Maltba, computers that could be refurbished would be given away free or at minimal cost to needy community members. Computers that were too antiquated to be restored would be recycled. "Businesses and individuals could donate computers, which would be a huge benefit because people often have to pay to recycle their old machines," Maltba added. In order to help launch the program and introduce it to the community, organizers are hosting a luncheon next week."We've made great progress in getting this program ready to start," Maltba said. "Almost all the pieces are in place. We just need some community financial support to get it off the ground. We're inviting individuals and organizations who might have an interest in supporting this worthwhile project to a special luncheon." The luncheon will be held next Thursday, August 6 at noon in the KCS Board Room at 100 Denver Street. There, organizers say they will share their vision for the computer recycling program and the progress made so far in getting it started. "We hope the people and organizations sitting around the table will be interested in supporting the program," Maltba concluded.For more information or if you are interested in attending, please contact Tiffane Maltba at 704-999-0227.
