After years of dedication, Lions Wayne and Ruth Coffaa have passed chairmanship of the Dell Rapids Lions Club's aluminum can recycling project on to fellow club members Casey McCoy and Robert Wiarda. "The Coffaas have earned our respect and appreciation for handling this project so ably for so long," said club president Tom Earley.

The club has had the same collection point at 3rd Street and Orleans Ave. for decades. Recycling aluminum cans has has been a worthy community service as well as an environmental goal of Lions Clubs International. Proceeds from the project allow the club to financially support many local needs.

McCoy and Wiarda thank the community for its continued support, and offer these reminders for recycling aluminum cans:
— Aluminum cans ONLY
— NO tin cans, trash, paper, glass, or plastic

Lions Robert Wiarda and Barb and Chuck Littel prepare aluminum cans for transfer to a Sioux Falls recycler.
