We’re pleased to welcome Sam Draney to ERGS as our new warehouse manager. Sam has volunteered extensively with ERGS and is already making an impact at the warehouse. With Sam on board, we’ve restored our hours of operation to a regular Tuesday – Saturday schedule. We look forward to working with Sam to improve and grow our programs and services.

ERGS will be at the Utah Open Source (UTOS) conference this week — our second year attending. UTOS shares our goal of serving the community through technology. In fact, last year UTOS organized a large group of people to volunteer at our warehouse — something we hope to repeat in the future.
Our participation in the conference means the warehouse will be closed this weekend, but if your at the conference be sure to stop by our table!
Date of Meeting: Saturday 08-21-10
Attended: Pete Ashdown, Randy Everett, Dave Turnbull, Kyle Waters, Craig Shepard, Laura Moncur, Matt Reeve and Richard Thompson
Our friends at Catholic Community Services contacted us about getting computers for a lab. The lab will serve to help people learn computer skills, as well as search for employment — all of which serves CCS’s mission to empower people in need to reach self sufficiency. We were delighted to have the opportunity to contribute to this important work. We look forward to a continued partnership to help people help themselves.

The Electroregeneration Society recently supplied equipment to the Kostopulos Dream Foundation, which improves the lives of people with disabilities through recreation and leisure education activities such as camping, fishing, horse riding, swimming, arts and craft projects, and more. We at the Electroregeneration Society enthusiastically support the Camp’s mission and are delighted that we can play a supporting role.

Below is a brief video about recycling at the Electroregeneration Society. Some of our volunteers are earning their computers by helping us take apart equipment that cannot be refurbished. Reducing computing equipment to recyclable base components is the first step in recycling computers in an environmentally responsible way.
The Utah Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association recently came by to pick up some computer equipment. The Electroregeneration Society is delighted to be able to support the effort to conquer Alzheimer’s — we applaud the Alzheimer’s Association for their efforts and hope that a cure will be found soon.
