If you have been saving the tabs, you can start turning them in. Please look at what you are turning in and no large tabs; they are not aluminum.

Ronald McDonald House had two tab tosses this spring. With the tabs they collected — double the price of aluminum on those days — plus the monetary donations, here are the results: Milwaukee 7,354,800 tabs, Green Bay 5,891,800 tabs for a grand total for both of $18,000.

The Wisconsin Football Coaches Association 8-player all-star game was held this summer in Oshkosh. Two players from Florence participated. It serves as a fundraiser for Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. It raised $350,000.

I have someone who will be taking over tab collection in the area. She is is Erika Heikkila from Iron River. She wants to go for 3 million tabs. She will continue where I left off, at 2,100,000. She is now “The Tab Lady.” Drop off locations: Nichols Flooring & Tile, My Friends Salon, Wyatt’s Automotive, Northwoods Animal Shelter, Suzy Tattoo, West End Home Furnishings, The Pasty Corner, Bigari Ace Hardware, AmericInn, Seven Embers, The Wooden Nickle, Lucky’s Sport Shop, Mr. T’s, Liminal Restaurant in Iron River; Sach’s in Tipler; Jr’s, Pat’s Foods, The Filling Station, Tavern On Central, Northern Lites, 101 Bar & Grill, The Mine Shaft in Florence; Bob & Jerry’s in Kingsford; and Stephenson Marketing Co-op and Tom & Jo’s Liquor in Aurora, Wis.
