...and the cat came back... Emmy has returned. Filthy and flea-ridden and wormy and gross, but relatively healthy according to my vet. We are duly de-vermining her and whatnot. Thanks for all the responses and offers of help, traps, etc.

Please see information and press release below about an upcoming benefit created by a local resident Kym Harper and hosted by Verve Wellness Spa downtown this Thursday, September 1, 2011.

You can support Kym (Team Kymbo), I (Team Kellbot and friends), or create your own team through the Psoriasis Foundation Walk Website at http://walk.psoriasis.org/site/TR/2011Walks/WalktoCurePsoriasis?pg=informat… Hope to see you there!

(Aug. 17, 2011)—*For roughly 10,000 Pittsburgh residents with psoriasis, a chronic, genetic, noncontagious disease of the immune system that appears on the skin, trips to the hair salon can be daunting due to the public discrimination many people with psoriasis face. To help combat this stigma around psoriasis, Pittsburgh resident and National Psoriasis Foundation volunteer Kymberly Harper, teams with Verve Wellness salon for a Cut-a-thon on Thursday, Sept. 1, 2011, which will raise money for the National Psoriasis Foundation to help find a cure for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The event will be held in conjunction with an ABC television show titled “Everyday Health Heroes,” which airs Saturday mornings after Good Morning America for ABC’s fall season. National Psoriasis Foundation quality of life surveys show that many people with psoriasis face discrimination in public places such as hair salons because others fear their disease is contagious. The Cut-a-thon will help dispel myths that psoriasis is something you can “catch”, while raising money for a cure for this disease and the millions of Americans living with it. Verve Wellness, located at 142 6th St., Pittsburgh, PA 15222, will donation a portion of each haircut scheduled on Sept. 1 for the Cut-a-thon to the National Psoriasis Foundation. The cut-a-thon will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. * * In addition, local Pittsburgh area residents living with psoriasis, their friends and families, and anyone who wishes to know more about the disease are invited to attend the filmed presentation portion of the fundraiser, which will take place from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 1 in Verve Wellness’ 2 nd floor fitness studio. Light refreshments will be served. Psoriasis is a chronic, genetic disease of the immune system that appears on the skin, causing it to crack, itch and bleed. The most common autoimmune disease in the country, it affects as many as 320,000 Pennsylvanians and as many as 7.5 million Americans. The disease has no known cure. The National Psoriasis Foundation is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit that handles advocacy, research and volunteer efforts to raise awareness and funds for the cause, as well as provide support for existing patients.

[Highland Park] Fulton Garden Back to School!
by Guido Giuntini 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Come one, come all to back-to-school weeding! If you haven't stopped by the Fulton Elementary School garden lately - DO! You will see what a couple of weeks of neighborly work, along with a morning of Team Depot volunteers from Home Depot can do when we set our minds to something. You can join the effort by coming by this Tuesday, August 30th at 6p to spruce up the area by trimming, weeding, conversing - not necessarily in that order. Let's welcome back the students! Margot "Adesso devo andare. Non ho niente da fare e voglio cominciare a farlo prima possibile"
