[Highland Park] Learn how to plant a RAIN GARDEN
by joseph breems 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

*Rain** **Garden** Volunteers Are Needed!* >From *9AM** to **Noon** on **Saturday, June 12th, 2010*, we are building three prototype Rain Gardens in East Liberty. Rain Gardens redirect run-off from rooftops to natural planting areas in yards where it’s absorbed & allowed to evaporate; Rain Gardens reduce the amount of storm water from hard surfaces from flooding the sewer system & causing pollution in downstream communities. With your help, we can reduce storm water and pollution. We’ve got the tools & materials; all we need is you to make it happen. If you can't make it - send the announcement along! *This is a great opporunity to get hands on experience on how to properly build a functional rain garden! Ask questions from our expert rain garden crew leaders!* ** *Light breakfast/coffee, as well as lunch provided!* RSVP * loralyn.fabian(a)eastliberty.org *if you want to help!

My son and I were unable to make it out to the yard sales yesterday, but we saw on the list that many people were selling children's books. If anybody has any left over from the yard sale that they'd still like to get rid of, please let us know! Thanks! Shannon Hula

Hi, I am posting this for a friend who is looking for an apartment in Highland Park. They would like to move in sometime between July 1st and August 1st. My name is Luca Zoia and I am a researcher on IT & Networking. I will study IT security stuff and be a teaching assistant at INI – CMU for one year (then I move to Silicon Valley to develop a project). My wife Chiara works for IBM Europe as a IT Auditor. We are looking for an apt (one or two bedroom will be ok) with typical amenities like air conditioning, dishwasher, refrigerator, stove/oven, and laundry on-site. We know it’s difficult but a furnished apartment would be really appreciated. We also have a lovely cat. If you have an apartment fitting this description, please email Luca at lzoia(a)yahoo.com Thanks! Amy Hogg Eaglemoor Apartments

hi, sorry i didn't think of this earliers...the east end thrift shop at 5123 penn ave re-sells donated things of all sorts at very cheap prices; located in a low income area, the volunteers there provide an essential service to the community. they always need childrens' & infant clothing and "professional" womens' clothing (for sojourners house) and donating keeps your stuff out of the landfills. so, a very good thing to do.they usually open from 10 to 4 but may be closed on mon? phone 412 361 6010jon nelson

Can anyone recommend a repair person who can replace some glass panes in our metal casement windows and then reglaze. Several of the panes are on the second floor so it would have to be someone willing to get on a ladder. Thanks Marsha
