* Welcome Back! *

* The Evergreen Solutions LLC would like to thank you for all your support in regards to the e-waste drive. Evergreen Solutions LLC was able successfully to raise $868 for the EEEF! We are very excited! This event took place on Saturday, January 26, 2013, at the Evergreen Elementary School. We are looking at another event in March or April. For more information, please e-mail Vanissa Hernandez at vanissa.hernandez@evergsl.com or call (408) 599-7470.

* The New Leaf Community Market at Canyon Creek Plaza (5667 Silver Creek Valley Rd.) sponsored EEEF for Community Day on Saturday, August 18, 2012. Together with the Back to School Bash, kids had lots of fun with free samples, haircuts, games, and facepainting. Thank you to all who participated! At New Leaf, 5% of the day’s earnings (over $1000) went to EEEF’s preservation of Evergreen elementary and middle school libraries.

* This year’s EEEF fall fundraisers, the direct donation drive and the Read-a-Thon, raised about $30,000. Pennies for Education will continue in the spring.
