… An epidemic has struck the neighborhoods surrounding CV.  Hundreds of pop cans are orphaned each day- left to fend for themselves in various undesirable can situations.  Lonely, half squashed and sticky-sided these cans never did anything to deserve such detrimental treatment.  You may think there is nothing you can do for these seemingly hopeless can orphans, but indeed- you CAN DO! Scour your car floors, search within the inner-most bowels of your garage; don’t stop until every last can is collected! With your help on this project you can give these cans a second chance and we can earn cash for Feed My Starving Children, Camperships, and Youth Group Activities.  But first, the youth committee asks for your financial help; we need donations to help buy a trailer to (attractively) store all the cans we collect.  We CAN make a difference in the lives of cans and in the lives of our youth.  We CAN DO!
