Whetstone Work Group
by Martha Riecks 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

My friend Jess just started a really neat co-working space for consultants and freelancers, which has the unique feature of on-site, drop-in child care. It's located just minutes from Highland Park at 2310 Main Street in Sharpsburg/Aspinwall area, literally just off the Highland Park Bridge. For more information or to set up an appoint to view the space, contact Jess at jessica(a)whetstoneworkgroup.com or visit her website at http://whetstoneworkgroup.com She's also going to be having an open house at the space on Monday, Jan. 18 - see announcement below: *Open House - Brunch* If you haven't yet dropped by to check out the space, plan to do so on Monday, January 18 (Martin Luther King Day) from 10am - 1pm. We'll have food, coffee, crafts for the kids - a great chance to see what all we have going on in the space. Best, Martha -- Martha Riecks mriecks(a)gmail.com

Sunday January 17: Coffee and Conversation
by Rector 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

@ St. Andrew's Highland Park: Our Epiphanytide 2016 series on "St. Andreans in the Neighborhood" features conversations with folks who are involved in leadership in community organizations. This Sunday, January 17, Al Mann will speak about his participation as President of the East Liberty Valley Historical Association. Should be fun! And I would think this conversation might be of interest to "historically=minded" folks in the wider neighborhood as well . . . . Our Coffee and Conversation program takes place downstairs in Barley Hall during the 10 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. "hour between the 9 and 11 a.m. services." Coffee and refreshments are available. Hope to see you there! Bruce Robison
