Tons of Tabs

The Las Vegas Rotaract was at it yet again. Continuing in their ongoing program to collect pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House, they donated another VERY LARGE batch on Friday October 3rd.
The project originally started in November of 2007 with the hopes of donating once or twice a year. By letting family members know about the program and encouraging them to save as well, the project grew fast. Eventually, after President-Elect Nikki went home to ask her town for pop tabs, she collected over 5,000 pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. In their first donation in January 2008, the club donated 5,000 plus tabs to the Ronald McDonald House of Greater Las Vegas.

Since the beginning of school, the Rotaract Club has promoted the pop tab program with family members, friends, on campus, and through their sponsoring Rotary Clubs that they were collecting again. Thanks to a Rotarian who had been collecting for years with her co-workers, the Rotaract Club received over 9,000 pop tabs. The club was able to outdue their first donation by almost double.
The project will continue to go on and will still be considered a traditional program for the Rotaract Club. They will most likely start to make it an annual donation instead of every couple of months.
