To all TGIF customers and participants,

First of all, we would like to begin by thanking you for your valued donations! All of

the donations from over 100 restaurants go directly to charity. Currently, through

the help of your donations, we have been able to donate 14,400 gallons of BioHeat®,

which has an approximate value of more than $54,000. This has been used to heat

144 homes of local families in need. We would not have been able to accomplish this

without your continuing assistance!

We have noticed that some other grease collectors have offered area restaurants

money for their grease. Please bear in mind that TGIF is the only non-profit in

Rhode Island where proceeds from cooking oil donations are used to heat the homes

of those in need. If for any reason you feel that you can no longer donate 100% of

your oil to TGIF, please contact us. We understand and we will work with you to

benefit you and support Project TGIF.

Sincerely,

The Jr. WIN Team

T.G.I.F. — Turn Grease Into Fuel

Fall / Winter 2011– 2012

We donated 2,500 gallons of BioHeat® to

WARM, Jonnycake Center and MASH in

April , 2011 during the Westerly School

Committee meeting.

We donated 5,200 gallons of BioHeat® to

WARM, MASH, Jonnycake Center and the

Welcome House in October during the 2011

national Make A Difference Day event.

Spreading the Word to the World

We have been working hard to let more people know about the program. Locally, we

recently gave presentations to the South Kingston Town Council, the COX Media man-

agement team, Central Baptist Church and the Westerly Land Trust to inform them

about how they can contribute. Also, we have presented at both the Central RI Cham-

ber of Commerce and at South Kingstown’s Chamber of Commerce After Hours events.

Project TGIF was featured on the front page of the United Nations Environmental Pro-

grams’ website as well as a newspaper in India. Check out our new website at

www.projecttgif.com and our Facebook page, Jr. WIN Team - Project TGIF.

The junior WIN team initiated

a Used Cooking Oil Recycling Act in RI!

With the help of local RI State legislators Rep. Brian

Kennedy, Rep. Samuel Azzinaro, Rep. Donna Walsh and

Sen. Dennis Algiere, the Jun-

ior WIN team initiated the

Used Cooking Oil Recycling

Act, which mandates that all

businesses must recycle their

waste cooking oil. The bill was passed by the Rhode

Island general assembly and Governor Lincoln Chafee

signed the bill into law in July, 2011.

encing any problems, or have questions, you can call 401-322-0598 or email us at
