A pioneering spirit, with a passion deep & true
A thoughtful, always active mind, with the drive to see it thru
A heart so full of caring, she’s there for you in need
Encouraging your sharing, a steadfast friend, indeed
A founder of a movement, for the greater good of all
To help an ailing planet by answering the call
To provide a means for resources to be used once & again
Then keep them out of landfills and into recycling bins
From a tiny seed planted in 1998 –
The movement has sprouted all across our great state
Many partners have joined to show their support, and
more & more people are jumping on board
THEN: a series of one-stops in lots around town
NOW: a LEED Gold Resource Recovery Park where diversity abounds
A place for community, as it states in our name –
Diverting waste from the landfill and recycling’s our game
M o l l i e,
We can’t thank you enough for holding fast to our Mission
For your dogged persistence in pursuit of your Vision
You will always be known for guiding the ship

You’ll make it count, of that we are quite sure!
As you hit your 67th turn ‘round the sun
Know that you’re much loved, and we all wish you fun
And Good Health, may it hold you close to the Heart…
Congratulations! Happy Birthday! Enjoy your new start!!!
