For a couple of years now, some clubs have been participating in the Season to Save toilet fundraiser. Its really easy. All you do is hand out a card of information to homeowners who meet the qualifications and they in return send the card into SAWS with their name/address info. If they install the toilet you/your club gets $25 per toilet. One of our clubs made about $1,500 one year. It is not to late to get involved, but hurry, deadline for homeowners to send in their cards is Dec. 22. Call SAWS at 704-7283 and ask about the Season to Save program.
