by Maggie Graham 25 Oct '16

25 Oct '16

Good morning, neighbors! Tree Pittsburgh invites you to celebrate the fall season with us as the ginkgo leaves change to their vibrant yellow hue across Highland Park. Have a picnic, enjoy the park, and learn about the natural and cultural histories of this wonderful tree with fan-shaped leaves at this family-fun event. We will have some plants grown in our Heritage Nursery for sale, as well as merchandise from Tree Pittsburgh. Join us Saturday, October 29 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the Maple Grove Shelter next to the super playground in Highland Park! This free event is all ages and family-friendly. Check out last year's event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgYxpD2__Mw The festival will feature crafts and origami activities, children story time, tree ID walks, and photos in front of Pittsburgh's largest ginkgo tree. Ginkgo trees are renowned for their medicinal properties, their outstanding urban tolerance, and their beautiful fall color. The ginkgo tree species dates back to over 150 million years. Come celebrate this timeless tree with us! -- Maggie Graham Communications Coordinator Tree Pittsburgh Like Us on Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/TreePittsburgh> Follow Us on Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/TreePgh> 412.781.TREE (8733) www.treepittsburgh.org 5401 Butler Street 2nd Floor Pittsburgh, PA 15201

25 Oct '16

Hi everyone! I hope you will join us this Wednesday (10/26) at 6:30pm at Union Project's monthly Creative Conversation Series <http://www.unionproject.org/events/creative-conversation>! It is a free event and a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts about issues that we face together everyday. The Creative Conversation is facilitated by community leaders Aerion Abney and Jay Oriola, guiding participants in important conversations around agape love, finding and defining community, and inclusion. Through the series, we hope to grow people’s capacity to address issues of inequity in our community. Each conversation will be shaped by those participating in this open format. We will share our unique perspectives, hopes, and concerns – and then help challenge one another to take action in our lives to create positive change. We had some powerful discussions since the first Creative Conversation in March and hopefully we will see everyone this Wednesday night! Best, Stephanie -- Stephanie Sun Marketing and CRM Consultant Union Project <http://www.unionproject.org/> 801 N. Negley Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412.363.4550 *Union Project uses the arts to bridge gaps between communities.* Check out our new 2016-2020 Strategic Plan <http://www.unionproject.org/strategicplan>.

Hi everyone! Just want to say I really appreciate all the response to the two posts I recently put out there for job coaches and railing people. It is so kind of you all to share information! A few people asked me to share the info about railing people but so far none have been available (too busy) or have called me back. If you want to check in with me in a week or so I can let you know who I ended up getting to do the work if that would be helpful. Thanks again everyone! susie
