How many pull tabs does it take to make 50 pounds? Nobody knows for sure, but that is what the five boxes of pull tabs found at the Nelson Legion weighed when taken to the Ronald McDonald House by Erika Tuttle, Auxiliary member, and friend of the Legion, Rik Ryan. The donation was enthusiastically welcomed by staff and put an even greater smile on Ronald’s face!

Another question is: how long did it take to accumulate 50 pounds of those tiny items? If anyone knows the answer to this please respond, as the Legion lost links to this and other valuable information with the deaths of Jim and Donna Menke.

Containers for the pull tabs can still be found at the Legion and additional donations will be welcomed, accumulated and taken to the Ronald McDonald House. Who knows, we may be able to measure how many it takes to make a pound and figure out how many went into the 50 pound total. What is your guess?
