On June 14, the <a href="http://pompanobeachfl.gov/index.php/pages/commission/commission">Pompano Beach City Commission</a> approved an <a href="http://pompanobeachfl.gov/index.php/pages/commission_archive/archive">agreement</a> with <a href="http://susieqintl.com/">Susie Q Wood</a> and <a href="http://trash2treasurefl.org/">Trash to Treasure</a> to place the <i>All Hands on Deck</i> repurposed Cuban immigrant boat at <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/WTKs1Bp7xV92">Harbor's Edge Par</a>k, 1240 NE 28 Ave. This happens to Casey's favorite Pompano park.<br />

<br />
The boat, which landed in Lauderdale by the Sea, is mosaiced with plastic debris from beach cleanups in Fort Lauderdale will be placed at the park where both park visitors and Intracoastal boaters will see it.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the late 90's, a group of local solid waste and recycling professionals, inspired by the work of <a href="http://www.isaeplay.org/Training.html">Dr. Walter Drew</a>, thought it would be a great idea if Broward County or the School Board would support a Creative Reuse Center to reduce waste, provide supplies for teachers, and foster creativity in students. No, really, we thought one of those unimaginative colossal bureaucracies might show some interest and do something right. Of course, they didn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, we talked about opening up a Center independently. Actually, we talked about it a lot because Trash to Treasure Creative Reuse Center did not open until 2007 in a hot warehouse by the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All that time allowed us to do our homework. If just 3% of the teachers in the Broward County School System got annual memberships, we would break even. Then with other memberships (private and charter schools, artists, preschools, home schoolers, summer camps, and the general public), workshops, grants, and events, we could pay a part-time salary or two, at least to start off.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It never happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's not like we didn't try. We got grants for a membership for a teacher at every public elementary school and then later one for "D" and "F" schools. Few took us up on the free resource and fewer ever renewed their membership. The fact the schools were removing art teachers and were only interested in teaching to standardized tests just doesn't help an organization interested in supporting art and developing critical thinking. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also put on some great events like <a href="http://trash2treasurefl.blogspot.com/2012/03/broward-college-south-sustainability.html">Broward College Sustainability Days</a>, and the <a href="http://trash2treasurefl.blogspot.com/2009/09/international-day-of-climate-action.html">International Day of Climate Action</a> (<a href="http://350.org/">350.org</a>). We partnered with Tribune Publishing to recycle more than 80% of the waste at their <a href="http://trash2treasurefl.blogspot.com/2011/11/citylink-beerfest-2011-to-benefit-trash.html">Beerfests</a>. Our <a href="http://trash2treasurefl.blogspot.com/search?q=trash2art">Trash2Art </a>exhibits were groundbreaking in south Florida for artist that work in repurposed materials. Now virtually every exhibit features artists that work in reclaimed and recycled materials.<br />

The good news is that these activities and grants helped us stay open. Most years, we more or less broke even. Funny thing, when you start an organization, you figure you will make money or run out of money. Nobody really thinks about treading water year after year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
About four years ago, we started to discuss the Center's sustainability. Our membership was stagnant. We started to feel that it was not enough to justify continuing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instead, we decided to search for a new home. We were delighted that <a href="http://artserve.org/">ArtServe</a> actively recruited us. We would be close to artist and events. We had AIR CONDITIONING! We were really excited about the possibilities. What could go wrong?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Apparently a lot. Membership declined and in 2015. We lost over $3,000. Increasingly, critical as donations are, we were drowning in fine materials that had few shoppers. This is a reflection of a ultra consuming culture that feels guilty about waste but does little to redirect its shopping behavior to sustainably purchase gently used items. At a recent ArtServe art exhibit intake, with our sign in the gallery, only one artist came into the Center ...only to talk about donating material. There is a never ending roof project just outside our back door, which has made it confusing and difficult for old visitors and new, to access us.<br />
<br />
Directors are tired and want to do other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There aren't a lot of options. We don't want to go back to a hot warehouse. Rents are increasing. So, we looked at the signs and are deciding to call it a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
THANK YOU to members of the Board over the years. You have been a working board- running the center operations as well as the background tasks to keep us alive, right to the very end. You know who you are and how dear you are to us. Although, we never made it "rain", you embraced the "pirate" perspective that allowed us to be an independent, "do what we want" organization, that did not have to answer to the limited vision of bureaucrats. We could be innovative and try new things, some worked, some failed, but nothing stopped us from trying. We were always a kid, animal, and alcohol friendly organization no matter how dangerous that might seem. <br />

We are thrilled that former volunteer and later board member Sarah Goff started the thriving <a href="http://www.repurposeproject.org/">Repurpose Project in Gainesville</a>, so in some way our legacy continues with her.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
THANK YOU to the many businesses and individuals provided us with wonderful donations that made a difference to our members. It was particularly heart felt was when someone brought in a deceased loved one's art and craft supplies and simple treasures made vintage with time, and the ones that took the time to sort, clean, and box like items together making our life so much simpler. The wonderful businesses supporting us felt better knowing their interesting, provocative and often beautiful left over items, were going to people that needed them.<br />
<br />
We won't miss the donors with labor intensive continual donations that seemed to be more therapy for the giver than useful to us and the struggle to make it known generally that we needed monetary donations as much as stuff to survive. We also won't miss the phrase "I'm sure some artist can do something with this" when we look at a donation with a raised eyebrow. Seriously, animal hair, cigarette smelling, dirty rags are not something people want. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
THANK YOU to our awesome volunteers. We provided countless hours of community service opportunities and got some good benefits too. Too many to mention but you were the backbone of the organization. Those who came regularly and knew what needed to be done were priceless. To the Volunteers Captains, taking leadership roles, your devotion to us was inspirational. You are the best and we feel you are like family.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And finally, a HUGE THANK YOU to the members who have been with us for years. You became not just our customers but our friends. Your ideas made us better. Your appreciation, enthusiasm and excitement were the reason we kept going. Knowing that we have made a difference in the wonderful things <b>YOU DO</b> for our community made all this worthwhile. It is you that makes this decision difficult.<br />
<br />
As this community matures, and there are more and more people with the consciousness like those of you that have sustained us over the years, someone will try this again, and it will "catch", because there will be finally be a larger community that demands alternatives to mindless consumption and careless waste. Every community needs a place like this, remember what you have learned and use it every day. We will too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We know we will see some of you around as we now have more time to participate in our community and attend <b>your </b>events and activities. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Good Luck and May the Force Be With Us All,<br />

We are talking to organizations looking to permanently place our art. <br />
<br />
Thanks to the <a href="http://pompanobeachfl.gov/index.php/pages/public_art/public_art">Pompano Beach Public Art Committee </a>for voting to place the boat at the City's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Harbors-Edge-Park/106668396059138">Harbor's Edge Park</a> (Casey's favorite). Still, it is contingent on Legal and City Commission decisions so we are keeping our options open. <br />
<br />
If you know of place that might be interested, <a href="mailto:info@trash2treasurefl.org">contact us</a> and let us know of your idea.<br />

A very special THANK YOU to our product sponsor: <a href="http://flexsealproducts.com/">Flex Seal </a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="160" src="https://flexsealproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/family-of-products-logo1.png" width="640" /></div>
We are using Flex Seal products for various aspects of the project. Flex Seal comes in various colors and our artist <a href="http://www.susieqart.com/">Susie Q</a> is using it for the background colors to visually enhance the plastic debris that was collected during beach cleanups. The trash is being used on the boat to repurpose our Cuban refugee boat into a work of art.<br />
<br />
To affix the plastic to the boat, we are using <a href="http://flexsealproducts.com/shop/flex-shot-jumbo/">Flex Shot </a><br />

Our Board Member, <a href="http://edgerecycling.com/">Keith Haag</a>, found it and Sal's agreed to tow it to ArtsBunker.<br />

Once at ArtsBunker, the transformation begins. Our artist, <a href="http://susieqintl.com/">Susie Q Wood</a>, designed the concept. The coloring of the boat is done by using <a href="https://www.getflexseal.com/">Flex Seal</a>. The boat is then adorned with plastic debris from beach clean ups.<br />

<br />
<br />
This and every holiday season you are bombarded by nonprofits conducting very important work around the world.<br />
<br />
People give about 24% of their annual contributions between Thanksgiving and New Years. Check out facts and figures about giving <a href="http://nccs.urban.org/nccs/statistics/Charitable-Giving-in-America-Some-Facts-and-Figures.cfm">here</a>.<br />
<br />
At <a href="http://trash2treasurefl.org/">Trash to Treasure,</a> only about 1/3 of the revenue necessary to keep our doors open comes from the Center's operations. We are dependent on workshops, events, and donations from the public to make up the rest.<br />
<br />
So, there is a lot of competition out there with each nonprofit putting its own spin on why you should contribute to them. As an organization organization dedicated to <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle</i></b>,</span> we would like to share with you what we <span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>won't </b></i></span>do for you with your donation to our 501 (c) 3 nonprofit:<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. No mailing labels with pleas for money inside. Who mails anything anymore anyway?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. No sad pictures of students or teachers using materials </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">made in China and </span>bought at the store. Too graphic!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. No paper calendars with mont<span style="font-family: inherit;">hly <span style="font-family: inherit;">reminder</span> to contri<span style="font-family: inherit;">bute</span></span>. Computers, Smart phones, anybody?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">4. No le<span style="font-family: inherit;">n<span style="font-family: inherit;">gthy </span></span>thank you letter in the mail. A short email (to save paper and postage) is all our small all<span style="font-family: inherit;">-</span>volunteer organization can muster. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">5. No repeated pleas about how dependent we are on you for survival. You know who we are, what we do, what you want to do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">6. No fake campaigns about the world falling apart if you don't contribute. The world is falling a<span style="font-family: inherit;">part either way.</span></span></blockquote>

Trash to Treasure once again teamed with the <a href="http://www.fau.edu/leadandserve/">Weppner Center at Florida Atlantic University</a> for their FAU Day of Service. Students came out to help us complete some tasks to help our all-volunteer organization.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
T2T's Board has alumni and is always eager to participate in activities with the College.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We were impressed when some students took it upon themselves to gather some money to buy some of the homeless around the Center some food. When the students were in line at Publix, the person in front of them paid for the food they were purchasing. As they were crossing the street, they saw them man and told him why they were purchasing the food. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward">Pay it forward!</a></div>

Here is what Angela Baugher, Assistant Director of the FAU <span style="color: #1f497d;">Weppner Center for LEAD & Service-Learning said about the students experience:</span><br />
<span style="color: #1f497d;"><br /></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #1f497d;">The students really
enjoyed serving with you! One student shared how you provided them
money to buy a homeless man lunch. They were blown away by your giving
and kindness. They shared it was their best service
experience to date and this student has served with us many times in
the past. Thank you for being a true example of what service is to our
students and for going out of your way to work with us even though you
were getting a roof! I hope to partner with
Trash to Treasure again in the future!</span></i>

Trash to Treasure will be open on Wednesday, October 28 from 5-9 PM. The night will be dedicated to costume making. Either get started or finish off your costume with a few repurposed accessories.<br />
<br />
We will have a sewing machine available for use. Our creative staff will be there to provide ideas. Also, our Zen of Scrap boutique has lots of costume materials for sale.<br />
<br />
So, don't be seduced by cheap costume made in China. <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: orange;"><i>Scary!</i></span></span>......Use your creative skills to re-imagine an old costume or find materials to create a new one.<br />
<br />
See you there.<br />

to honor the memory of loved ones that have passed away. These cultural
spaces are decorated with pictures, items that recall the loved one,
fruit, flowers, candles, and embellishments.</div>
