Thanks to all who have been saving aluminum tabs. We had one pound, five ounces to contribute to support of the Ronald McDonald House. Reminder: If your tab sticks to a magnet, the tab contains less aluminum. Tabs with the most aluminum do not stick to a magnet. Please continue to save and fill our container!
