*IEF and IMS would like to thank those Villagers who turned out for the recent Trash to Treasure (T to T) community clean up event.  Nearly 500 lbs of trash was collected!.

The T to T group will spend the next couple of months sorting and analyzing the trash before beginning turning it all into ‘treasure’.  

Callia Schell, a current UNR-LT student will be taking a lead role in helping the students create that treasure – providing not only artistic guidance but also a wonderful opportunity to collaborate on a community-wide project.
