Letter from NTCRA President, Fran Witte

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the North Texas Corporate Recycling Association.

The NTCRA takes pride in educating the business community about waste reduction and recycling through our Web site. In doing this we must set the example. With this being said, we would like all of our members and visitors to our Web site to know that we will strive to keep our paper distribution to a minimum. Most of our communication will be electronic. We have numerous wonderful networking opportunities for 2008 and we will be sending invitations and notices via e-mail. Sign up to receive our announcements & invitations.

We have also launched Eco Biz for 2008. Each Tuesday, NTCRA sends out a "weekly green tip for your business." Be sure to sign up to receive it!

Highlights of our 2008 Calendar include two Business Recycling Workshops; the Environmental Leadership Luncheon; Environmental Vision Awards; the annual Recyclers Golf Tournament; and numerous networking Mixers & Happy Hour Receptions, with our first Mixer on Wednesday, March 19. Visit our calendar to learn more.

Additionally, we have simplified participation in the NTCRA events and membership subscription/renewal through the use of PayPal.

Please feel free to visit the NTCRA’s Web site frequently and encourage others to do so. If you have suggestions as to how we can better serve your interests and participation in recycling, would like to volunteer, advertise on our Web site or would like more information, feel free to contact me at 972-742-2296 or by email.

Again, welcome to the NTCRA. I look forward to a year of growth, opportunity and especially getting to meet each of you.

Fran Witte,
2008 President
