[Highland Park] Need some diapers?
by Dulcimer Hope Brubaker 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

As I should have expected, my daughter announced she wanted to start potty training just a few days after I had ordered a huge new box of Pampers. So I'm wondering if anyone is in need of some discounted Pampers size 5 diapers. The original box contained 172 diapers and sells on amazon.com<http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q8LLHI/ref=rcx_subs_dp>for $44.84. We opened the package and used about five of the diapers. The first $25 takes the lot. Call or e-mail to arrange pickup. Dulci Brubaker 412.894.1873 dulcimer.hope(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Looking for Camping Gear
by Dean Steiner 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hey Neighbors, I'm looking to acquire some camping gear for this summer. I don't currently own anything at all - I don't even think I have a functioning sleeping bag to be honest. If you have anything you're looking to sell, donate, trade, etc. I'd be happy to check it out or possibly take it off of your hands. I'm looking for the following items: 1. Tents, Tent Fly, Poles, Stakes, and Ropes. 2. Lanterns 3. Cook Ware 4. Tarps 5. Tools If you have anything that fits this list and are willing to let it go to an amateur camper, give me a call! Thanks, Dean. [image: http://www.crockerpark.com/content/tenants/1188066221.jpg] Dean Steiner Playroom Manager 19 Bakery Square Blvd. Pittsburgh, PA 15206 Work: 412.204.0055 Cell: 412.735.9927

Of course we always provide free tastes.  Bring your own clean bottle or we sell reusable bottles for $2.The weather reports for the weekend are looking good, so please come out and stop in the market, visit your neighbors and check out the offerings of all of our farmers and vendors.Bike RackPlease note that we now have one of those cool circular bike racks installed in front of the building.  So bike on in!  Special thanks to Christine Berger from the Mayor's office and Emily Keebler from Patrick Dowd's office who made this happen!David Lagnese********************************************************* Please visit the market's website for information on the market and all the vendors.  You can sign up for a weekly email update.  http://www.farmersmarketcooperativeofeastliberty.com/ **********************************************************The Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty is located at 344 North Sheridan Ave., adjacent to the Home Depot parking lot.  The market operates year round- and is open from 5 AM until 12 noon every Saturday of the year.  ----------Farmers' Market Coop of East Liberty is responsible for the content of this email.David Lagnese, 344 North Sheridan Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206If you do not wish to receive emails like this in the future, click here to unsubscribe or copy and paste the following URL into your browser:http://www.farmersmarketcooperativeofeastliberty.com/mailinglist/re…

Piggy-backing on Alicia's previous message about PULSE and the upcoming event at the Union Project: I am one of 18 or so PULSE alumni who live within a half-mile radius of the PULSE house (located on Stanton between Portland and Mellon).

PULSEations promises to be a good time for all. Links to the website for general info and tickets are below.
