Highland Park’s Annual Bryant Street Festival Sunday June 5, 2016, noon -5:00 pm Looking for Artists and Food Vendors This annual street fair is sponsored by the Highland Park Community Council and takes place on Bryant Street between Highland and N.

The event includes live musical performances, food vendors, artists selling their work, hands on activities such as ceramics, hula hooping, and a tennis clinic as well as children’s activities. We are looking for artists or crafters from the neighborhood who would like to participate by performing on stage, demonstrating or selling arts/crafts, fundraising via a bake sale or face painting. Be creative! We are open to ideas. We also need volunteers for setting up and taking down the event. It will probably be about an hour for each part. We can really use your help!

People request many things on this list but this one feels delightfully odd to me. :) Anyone have a nice, portable podium that we could borrow for a ribbon cutting event next Wednesday for the Three Rivers Mothers Milk Bank <http://www.threeriversmilkbank.org/>? I am happy to pick it up. Amber McCann

mag(s) wanted
by Pat Glenhilski 08 Mar '16

Dear Neighbours Alert! Some of you may "recall" when my companion, NeNe, got out of the house via an unsecured starboard window nearly 2100 days ago. I have since found that the "best" way to detract escape is to simply barricade it with my Alert! (The International Maritime Human Element bulletin) collection. (NeNe finds the images lugubrious and therefore does not cross this border). However, it appears I am 7 issues "short" of a complete light blocking stack. I am inquiring if any neighbours perhaps have back issues of Alert! laying about that they may be willing to share? Good deeds, Your neighbour, Pat.

Shredder--never used
by Rebecca Wilson 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

I bought this paper shredder a year ago when I was moving & thought I needed to shred old documents. In the end we ran out of time and I literally never used it once. The cord is still all wrapped up in its fancy twist tie. Here's the link to the product for more information. It's on sale now for $26.99 & I'd love to get $15/OBO for it. Thanks! http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-8-Sheet-Strip-Cut-Credit-Shredder/dp/B00…
