31 Jan '11

Steel City Hoop Union invites you to come to our 2nd (annual??!) "hOOp for Haiti" at the Union Project this Tuesday, February 1st, from 6:30-8:30 pm!! Haiti has just marked the one-year anniversary of the powerful earthquake that killed 250,000 people and devastated much of the country. As they continue to struggle to rebuild, we are asking that you join us in raising money for this beautiful nation. This year's proceeds will go to FilterPure Filters (http://www.filterpurefilters.org/) an organization which creates simple, effective, and sustainable water filters-- water filters which provide clean water and can resolve the cholera outbreak. All levels, ages, and sizes are hoopin-heartily welcome to partake in this Haitian celebration! We will be hooping to some Haitian grooves! Gwen Tucker will lead us in some Zumba fun, and we may have live musical guests! There will also be a silent auction, and John Zolko of FilterPure Filters will speak about the organization as well as demonstrate how the filter process works. Together we will also enjoy some Haitian refreshments!! We are requesting a $10 donation for those who come, of which 100% will go to FilterPure Filters; please pay what you can. *NOTE: If you have an item to donate for the silent auction, or if you would like to provide a Haitian dish for the event, please contact us(!): Stefanie Moser, spinsterhoops(a)gmail.com Erika Johnson, bluegreenchair(a)gmail.com We had such a tremendous blast last year, so don't miss it! Join us for this special Hoop Union Tuesday, brought to you by the Steel City Hoop Union with the wonderful support of the Union Project.

[Highland Park] Items for Sale
by Michelle Markey Butler 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Foosball Table, good/used condition. $40. Dyson 'ball' vacuum. $45. Works fine but sounds like it's trying to eat a marble. Since I've cleared it several times, I suspect a part is rattling. Probably fixable but not by me. I also still have the weight bench and weights. Michelle Butler -- www.facebook.com/MichelleMarkeyButler www.MichelleMarkeyButler.com

[Highland Park] 1 or 2 cherry jewelry armoires, flat drawers great for an artist too
by janet jai 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

I have 2 lovely jewelry armoires that I've been using simply to store stationery. I no longer need them. They are each app. 23" wide x 15-1/2" deep x 27-1/2" tall. The insides of the drawers, which have a velvety like lining, are app. 19" x 11-1/4" x 1-1/2" deep. They are a lacquered deep cherry finish and may be actual cherry wood (they are quite heavy for relatively small pieces), very well made. Generally wonderful condition - the only imperfections I can see are a short hairline scratch on top of one, and on the other, a small area on top that is like some kind of tape residue - you can see this in the photo - it was there when I bought them secondhand here in Highland Park many years ago, and I've always had the tops covered so I never thought about it again until now - since I don't know anything about furniture finishes I don't want to try to clean it now). I am willing to sell only 1 or both. I am asking $100 each. The flat drawers would be great for an artist too for storing medium- size sheets of good paper or drawings. jai 412-362-7607
