Save Those Pill Bottles

The students at Keuka College and Chaplain Eric Deter are asking for your help. They are collecting medicine pill bottles to send to third world countries. When medicine is dispensed, in most cases the pills are deposited directly into hands. You can help by peeling off your labels, and bringing in your pill bottles (with caps). There is a box in the foyer for collections. Thank You!
