VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION -
A HEARTFELT THANK YOU to the wonderful help we received
our first week from volunteers Mark Rauscher, Andrea
Epstein, Tony Maresco and Karen, Terry Laibach,
Tim Hunter, the staff and teens at the New Paltz
Youth Center as well as the wonderful support of
the staff at the New Paltz Recycling Center

we'll need about 4 to get through the winter-donated
or very low cost
OTHER
DONATION/SALE OPTIONS FOR
YOUR UNWANTED "STUFF"
1.Volunteer Thanks
for June materials transfer at Newburgh goes out
to Tim Hunter (HVME board member), John Eitel, Terry
Laibach, Diana Hesse, Ed Nugent, Jim Fawcett. A
very special thank you goes out to our former neighbor
at Stewart, Peter Menner, New
Millenium Rentals, a large construction equipment
rental business who at this point is also being
evicted by Port Authority. Peter allowed us to store
our own trailer in his yard for the winter and helped
us get it there allowing his wonderful staff, Danny,
Jimmy, Tony and Brad, to assist in the transfer
of our materials to our new trailer. Thank you,
Peter!
Another special thank you goes to Kim Moyer. Many
of you only know, Jill Gruber, as the front person
and HVME founder/director. But most of you don't
know the braun of our organization, Kim. She has
been with HVME for 10 years as our warehouse manager
and now our Chief Financial Officer. Because of
HVME's excessive debt right now we had to lay Kim
off but she has volunteered to continue doing our
books and managing our grants until we are in the
black or doing better. This is typical of Kim and
her family who continuously volunteer for HVME.
When she is working she always gives 10,000%. HVME,
literally, could not exist without this fine woman.
Thank you, Kim.
2. New Paltz Events
- in an effort to be part of our new community we'll
share announcements of some events that come our
way. We are also interested in participating in
New Paltz events when invited (hint, hint). We have
a mobile program. Our ability to participate will
be determined by staff or volunteer availability.
Whether or not we charge a fee will be determined
by how well we are doing in sales at our new location.
We try to keep our newsletter fairly brief so it
will be read. Therefore we'll accept events that
are environmentally or arts related only and limit
listings to 3 per newsletter.
3. Cash Donations still
really needed - anyone who
donates will receive a free $25 (individual) HVME
membership - use our online paypal (on homepage)
or send a check. No amount is too small. We'll even
send you a stamped self addressed envelope if this
will help but we won't waste paper by sending a
mass mailing. Send hecks to: 211 Woodcrest Drive
Apt 1A, Modena, NY 12548.
We are now at almost $50,000 in debt & need
your help.
or just drop off a bucket load of cash - we'll
even come in at off hours for the right sized bucket
load and we'll supply the bucket!
32 donations received to date totalling $2500 plus
one storage trailer. We express our deepest gratitude

15 years
of service celebrated on 3/5 - that's
right! We can't believe it either.
We are asking all of you to help us begin our next
15 years by making a small donation (large ones are
also accepted) through our website to help us recover
from 6 months & $50,000 in debt because we have
been closed & lost all this revenue.
