[Highland Park] Looking for source to purchase 1/2 a butchered hog
by Joan Soulliere 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hello Neighbors, Last year we purchased half a hog and had it butchered. Our source has not returned our phone calls. If you have a pork source and wouldn't mind sharing your contact information, I'd be most appreciative. We were actually hoping to buy whole hog this fall. Thank you. Joan Farragut St.

[Highland Park] Fwd: Volunteer to Improve Lives
by Alicia Donner 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hey neighbors! I just wanted to alert all of you to an awesome long term volunteer opportunity at a great store in Pittsburgh! Ten Thousand Villages (TTV), a fair trade retailer since 1946, has nearly 400 retail outlets across the country, including on in Squirrel Hill. One of the coolest things about TTV is that it is almost completely staffed by volunteers: most of the people who greet you and check you out when you enter the store are not paid. I've been one of those volunteers for about a year and a half now. Because of this, more of the revenue from the sales can go back to the artisans, increasing orders as well as expanding the retail network. The holiday season is a busy one at TTV, and when more volunteers are definitely needed! If you're an adult looking to give back in an awesome way or a teenager (16 or older) looking for a fun way to earn service hours (as well as gain some valuable customer service experience), this is a great opportunity for you. If you're interested in volunteering, the last volunteer orientation of this year is Monday, Oct 7 at 6pm. Also attached to this email is a volunteer application. Contact Karen McCarthy, at volunteer.pittsburgh(a)tenthousandvillages.com or by calling the store at 412-421-2160, if you're interested in working in a friendly environment to help people the world over! Thanks - and have a great Thursday all!

I was familiar with the store and the mission and wanted to connect to people who shared this same passion for justice. Now, as the Volunteer Manager, I have had the opportunity to train over 30 new volunteers, all committed to the mission of fair trade. We need more help. If you have been thinking about volunteering with us, now is the time. We will hold two more orientations in 2013 – one in September and one in October. Don’t miss your chance to join us during the exciting holiday season and invest in the lives of artisans across the globe. The next orientation will be held on Monday, September 16 at 6:30 p.m. For more information or to RSVP, please contact me, Karen McCarthy, at volunteer.pittsburgh(a)tenthousandvillages.com or by calling the store at 412-421-2160.

[Highland Park] Have you seen the rug man?
by Marie B 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hello, I'm trying to locate the man who sells area rugs out of his van around the city. He was at Penn and Negely for some time, Freeport Road, ..... He moves around. My nephew is moving into his first apartment this weekend and is in need of area rugs, (among a thousand other things!) and would really like to get the style (darker colors, lions, tigers, etc) and price that this man sells. If you happen to know where he is now, or have seen him recently in your travels around the city, would you please let me know? Thanks so much!
