Hello Neighbors, We are exploring child care options for a baby who is a little over a year. We've called some of the more popular places like Eastminster, and Carriage House, but are interested in hearing of any other suggestions you may have. We would also consider options for child care in someone's home. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Linda --- Linda Vicaro linda.vicaro(a)gmail.com

Hi Neighbors -- I recently posted a note looking for artisans to sell things on consignment. Someone well meaning took my post and reposted it on Facebook, with my full name and phone number. My posting was never intended for wider distribution and I certainly didn't want my name and number posted on the wider universe! Unless people explicitly say its okay to forward their message, please check before reposting - - it's a way to be considerate and show courtesy to your neighbors. Thanks! Stephanie Walsh

[Highland Park] Help with AFS student
by Lisa Eddy 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hi Highland Parkers...I am posting this for a friend... Forwarded conversation Subject: help with AFS student ------------------------ "Become a global family by hosting an AFS exchange student this school year. Families are accepted year-round and there is always an opportunity to be involved! Local AFS Volunteers will support you and your hosted student throughout your experience to help you both receive the most from your time together. You provide a bed and meals for your student, but most importantly, you should be eager and excited to share your life and activities while providing the same kind of care, support, and comfort as you would to your own child or family members. AFS welcomes all kinds of families. Students study in high schools and are eager to experience what it's like to live in America. Sharing daily life with a teenager from another country and culture is a rich and rewarding experience and is a wonderful way for you and your family to build a more just and peaceful world. Start the process at http://www.afsusa.org/host-family/apply/ or call 1-800-876-2377 ext.124 or email sdilworth(a)afs.org for more information." Thank you so much for your help.
