Pull Tops Collections Help Local Kids

Shriners Hospital recently sent a Thank You note to Mama's Kitchen, at 5524 S Dale Mabry, where our neighborhood collection of pull tabs get deposited periodically. Here it is, in part:
       "On behalf of the Shriners Hospitals for Children-Tampa, I would like to thank you for the generous donation of can tabs. Collecting tabs is a time-consuming effort, and we are thankful for your commitment to this project. Although they might seem small, the can tabs quickly add up and bring in thousands of dollars each year to support the Shriners' mission.
       "You can be assured that your contribution will be used to help keep smiles on the faces of our patients and their families."
       The letter goes on to describe the research and teaching programs and all the horrific conditions that receive care and family services through Shriners Hospitals. How blessed we are with our healthy families  to never have experienced the true level of Shriners care. Please continue to save your pull tabs in the Info Room, and please don't attempt to recycle our collection yourself. There are people designated to collect and turn in the tabs. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
