Tips for Week of December 30, 2004


THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK:

  • In the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra's newsletter this week, along with holiday wishes, they offered a free pair of tickets to the New Year's Eve Concert to the first 4 people that replied to the newsletter. I got lucky and won a pair. You might want to subscribe to their newsletter list in case they do this kind of thing again. In the meantime, you can call 256-539-4818 for tickets and say you read about the concert on About.com, and you'll receive 20% off on your ticket purchase. Offer not available on the website. The office is open 9-5 on Thursday and Friday. 

  •  For Christmas tree recycling information, call the Huntsville Botanical Garden at 256-830-4447. 

  • You can donate old cell phones to Crisis Services of North Alabama, so they can give them to domestic violence victims. The phones can still call 911--even when they're not activated. To donate a cell phone call (256) 716-4052. 

  • You can recycle old electronics, computers, etc. (which are harmful to the environment) at The Technology Recycling Center on Madison Blvd. in Madison. For more information, call 256-464-7985. 

  • You can now find the 2005 NASA launch schedule online.

  • Happy New Year--May 2005 be even better than 2004!
