[Highland Park] 1998 Volvo V70 T5 For Sale
by Darren Belajac 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hello Neighbors, we have decided to make the move to being a one car family. Therefore, my wife and I are selling our Volvo Wagon. I thought I would send an email out to the Listserve to see if any neighbors would be interested. Here's a description: 1998 Volvo V70 T5 (Turbo) Wagon. The car was owned by my in-laws before they sold it to us and it has had regular maintenance and oil changes since its original purchase. It has an automatic transmission and approximately 159,000 miles. Black exterior, moonroof, tan leather interior, premium sound, front and side airbags, power windows, power locks with remote, and a doggy gate for the rear. And I will throw in a set of snow tires that have a couple more winters in them. Pictures are attached. We are asking $3950.

[Highland Park] Cooperative Childcare Update
by Katy Rank Lev 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi everyone: I wanted to provide an update on the cooperative childcare I've been working to organize for creative freelancers/self-employed/work-from-home parents in our region. Last you heard, we were applying for a Seed Award in hopes of securing some start-up costs to find a location and get the ball rolling. I've updated the group's facebook page summarizing a conversation I had today with the fine folks at the Sprout Fund about a potential pilot program for the cooperative, beginning later this summer: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_154201347969414 Please stop by the page and share your feedback! If you're not a facebook user and are interested in a more detailed update, just shoot me an email and I'm happy to fill you in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katy Rank Lev Freelance Writer/Editor www.katyranklev.com 412.444.KATY
