Lake Wales Lodge No. 242 Fundraiser

Brothers, Lake Wales Lodge 242 F&AM is holding  a unique fundraiser to continue to support our local community and youth organizations. It's a very simple fundraiser, but will involve some of us getting out of our comfort zones and talking to folks we don't normally talk with. So what's this fundraiser all about you're asking, well I’ll explain it.


So a local company out of Lakeland named Tech Smart Inc(TSI) is an electronic recycling company, a simple concept I know, but what I didn't know was the amount of recyclable materials in electronics we use every day, and how vital it is that we recycle them for future generations to use. 


Cell phones, Laptops, Desktop Computers, Printers and Gaming Consoles are just a few of the things that can be donated and recycled, thus maybe freeing up some space in your office or garage. How can I help?

Well that is the great part, this company is completely licensed for disposal of information, they are a statewide registered business in Florida and hold all necessary licenses to operate this unique business.  Beginning on April 22nd I’ll have a trailer at the Lake Wales Lodge for folks to drop off electronics, the Tech Smart will come on May 22, catalog the donations and collect them and handle everything from there.

Please don't overlook this post, think about it, pray about it and ask around to help us collect as much as we can for recycling. 

Please feel free to call or text me at 863-221-9228 or email me at 
timratliff00@yahoo.com with any questions, to arrange pick up, or if you just want a brother to talk too.
