Schools, companies, individuals and community organizations, worked together to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Arkansas during Pop Tab Pandemonium, a program which turns pop tabs into cash for the non-profit. Each group weighed in the pop tabs they had collected at the Clinton Library to compete for bragging rights. This year’s winner was Greene County Tech Elementary in Paragould, weighing in with 190 pounds of pop tabs. A total of 4,300 pounds were collected, which equates to almost $3,500 for RMHC. The next Pop Tab Pandemonium event will be held on April 19 at the Clinton Library so start collecting now! For more information, visit rmhclittlerock.org.
