Earth Day 2013 a JBM-HH recycle success
On Earth Day – three days this year -- according to Roy Croom, environmental
protection specialist with Environmental Management, JBM-HH personnel helped him
collect 15 tons of paper, all of it shredded in support of Earth Day April 23, 24 and 25.

4. In addition, a little more than a ton of electronics were collected at the E-cycle event,
Croom said.
“I want to thank everyone on the JBM-HH team. This team effort helped us to
maximize the reduction of recyclables going to landfills. We collected more than 16 tons
of recyclable materials this year,” he said.
“More importantly, we have kept the hazardous metals found in these items out of
our landfills.” Metals that are not going to landfills due to JBM-HH efforts include
aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper,
gallium, gold, iron, lead and manganese. All of these plus mercury, palladium,
platinum, selenium, silver and zinc found in personal computers and monitors will be
responsibly and safely disposed of.
“It’s all about team work,” Croom said. “We did a great job this year.”

TAPS Good Grief Camp seeks active duty servicemembers, recent
veterans in Washington, D.C. area
The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) is a nonprofit organization
that provides immediate and long-term support and care to the families of our nation's
fallen heroes. Over Memorial Day Weekend we will be holding our 19th Annual TAPS
Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp in the DC area hosting children and teens from
across the country. What makes our camp unique are the active duty men and women
and recent veterans who volunteer to provide one-on-one mentoring to the children of
our deceased service members. We are expecting approximately 500 children to visit
the DC area to learn coping skills and support systems. You can help by volunteering
your time over Memorial Day Weekend to this very special cause.

6. Mentors’ Role: Each Mentor will be matched with a child who has lost a loved one
while serving in the military. The children range from 4 to 19 years old and each age
group will be led by an experienced and trained grief facilitator. As a TAPS military
mentor, you will serve as a “big brother/sister” to these children, to remind them that
they are not forgotten and still very much a part of the military family.

Mandatory Training May 22, 6 to 9 p.m. or May 23 from 1 to 4 p.m.
May 24, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Cost: None. During the camp, you will eat all meals with your Mentee. There is
parking available at specific locations that will be at no cost.
Where: The training sessions and majority of activities will occur at the Marriott Crystal
Gateway in Crystal City, VA. For all other activities outside the hotel, bus
transportation will be provided.
