VWC's The Butt Stops Here! Campaign in Full Swing

The Butt Stops Here

Valley Women’s Club installs cigarette butt receptacles in San Lorenzo Valley

San Lorenzo Valley streets and waterways will be cleaner and safer thanks to four cigarette butt disposal containers installed by The Valley Women's Club of the San Lorenzo Valley. Purchased with the assistance of a watershed education grant from the San Lorenzo Valley Water District and contributions from John Schumacher at Hallcrest Vineyards and other community sponsors, the receptacles are located at Boulder Creek Brewery & Cafe, Junction Park, Henfling's Tavern and Don Quixote's International Music Hall. Easy to spot, each bright red container bears the Butt Stops Here logo, created by Bonny Doon artist Stephanie Sellers Sakasai. More The Butt Stops Here receptacles will be placed at strategic San Lorenzo Valley Locations in the coming months.

Along with purchasing receptacles and finding partner businesses to host them, "The Butt Stops Here" campaign includes educational posters and mailers, and a website www.thebuttstopshere.org. Funds, labor and locations for receptacles have been donated by local businesses and area residents.

Contributions in support of the campaign can be sent with your name, address, phone and email address, to The Butt Stops Here c/o The Valley Women's Club, PO Box 574 Ben Lomond, CA 95005. Contributions to The Valley Women's Club are tax deductible. The Valley Women's Club is a 501-c-3 nonprofit organization, Federal ID # 94-2900221.
