Notes And Minutes From Recent Meetings Of Area Social Clubs, Hobby Groups
And Special-Interest Associations
By David Jaggard
Tinfoil Reusers Guild
The TRG unites persons who share a passionate interest in preserving,
recycling and reusing commodity goods to the vanishing point. At last
Thursday's meeting members gave updates on their ongoing projects. Dee
Eace's teabag is going into its sixth year and still has "plenty of flavor
left." Sehar Wye showed some giftwrapping paper that has been passed back
and forth between her sister-in-law and herself for a total of 28
Christmases and birthdays and has served to wrap packages ranging in size
from a costume jewelry ring to an outdoor barbecue oven. Junior member
Petie Tehay shared his secrets for restoring chewing gum flavor and showed
slides of his collection of vintage wads dating back to 1994. Chai Essayen
passed around a plastic yogurt tub that she inherited from her grandmother
and that still has the original lid. She is currently using the container
as a receptacle for her collection of mid-20th century deep-fat frying
grease. "I know some of the bacon drippings are from before 1978," reports
Essayen, "because that's when we moved and I remember bringing them with us
in a coffee can." Next month's meeting will be a tea luncheon at the Eace's
house.
