MLK Day of Service
We had a hugely successful MLK Day of Service at Eco Encore this year. In the Pioneer Square offices, we had over 20 lively volunteers from the University of Washington. They worked most of the day, sorting, listing, organizing and moving literally tons of new and old inventory. We provided pizza, drinks, and fun opportunity to benefit an environmental non-profit.
Volunteers at Edmonds Community College were simultaneously hard at work on our behalf – together we listed over 700 new items of used media to sell for environmental causes.
Nationally, over 10,000 groups participated in the Day of Service, even President Obama. It was the largest participation ever for this event.
New Website
Eco Encore gets a new look – we just launched our new website: www.ecoencore.org, so come take a look.
New Operations Manager
We are actively recruiting an Operations Manager to take over for Jenna, who has landed a prestigious overseas placement as part of her academic studies. Sadly, we will be losing Jenna, but hopefully we will gain a fabulous new staff member to champion our causes! If you know someone who may be interested and qualified, the position is posted on www.idealist.org.
