None of this could have been done without the incredible contribution of Don Cameron. Don is the MEC volunteer business manager and usually comes in two days a week from Laytonville. He came in 9-5 three days a week so that we could have those days open for members.
Don's astonishing project was to single-handedly plow through a five-foot high stack of newspapers, scanning and clipping them for environmentally-related news for the MEC reference files. There had been a lack of volunteers to take care of this very hard and time-consuming job. Don "clipped to infinity" and never once moaned or whimpered or refused to go on (the usual result when people have tackled this job before). We are up to date at last! This project took him hundreds of hours! Thanks, Don, and everyone involved in the effort to give Betty and Gary a greatly-deserved break.
