As part of maintaining our non-profit status we are required to hold an annual meeting open to all members. If you have recycled glass or batteries in the last year and donated at least $1.00 you are considered a member and you are invited to the RCR Annual Meeting. This is the time when new board members are installed and changes in board offices and by-laws are voted on. The meeting will be followed by a pot-luck, so bring your favorite Bitterroot potluck dish.
