ISMS cheerleaders collecting phones for soldiers at Bones Theatre on Saturday
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
If you’re like most people, you’ve got a few cell phones lying around the house that you’re not using.
Perhaps they don’t work with your current plan. Possibly they don’t work at all. You’ve been wondering what to do with it and now, someone has an answer that leaves everyone feeling better – and frees up some space in your kitchen junk drawer!
On Saturday, February 23, the Indian Springs Middle School cheerleaders will be collecting old and unused cell phones at Bones Theatre.
“They are participating in a program called Cell Phones for Soldiers,” said Bones Theatre owner Chris Jones. “Old phones, whether they’re working or not, are taken to a recycling plant and their value is turned into calling cards that are given to soldiers.”
The Cell Phones for Soldiers program is a non-profit program. The cheerleaders’ participation in the project is being directed by ISMS cheerleading sponsor Annette Shively, who approached Jones with the idea about the theater’s participation.
“I would encourage people to go to the web and get the details,” Jones added. “We think it’s pretty cool.”
