I contacted a gentleman who was to send me 50 stickers for containers for pennies for parkinsons and a bunch of literature. I cant remember his name but I have heard nothing. I live in a high traffic tourist area and know many businesses who whould be happy to let me place a container. I am most interested in doing this as we get up to 3 million visiors a year here and the season is beginning now. I felt this was a good way for me to help and would like to get started with it as soon as possible. If you can help me with this please contact me offlist.
