Please see the description below for more information and to RSVP.

Have you been wondering how you can protect your family from gas drilling or how to be a more effective organizer? On January 13th and 15th, we're offering you the opportunity to do both. We'll teach you how to recruit volunteers, generate massive media coverage in local newspapers and on local TV, and how to use a new interactive web tool that will help you coordinate with other concerned citizens and track gas drilling impacts in your community. Please RSVP and let us know if you can make one of the two trainings. <http://www.webaction.org/site/R?i=d6Qn6OP14laboE16hlzOKw..> What: Get Organized: Skills to Protect your Community in the Marcellus Shale Where and When: * Thursday, January 13th, 6:30 p.m. Center for Healthy Environments & Communities (CHEC) 5th Floor Conference Room, Bridgeside Point Building, 100 Technology Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 OR * Saturday, January 15th, 12:30 p.m. Connellsville Free Library, 299 South Pittsburgh Street, Connellsville, PA 15425 Who: The trainings are co-sponsored by PennEnvironment, Center for Healthy Environments and Communities, Earthworks OGAP, Clean Water Action, Mountain Watershed Association, Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP), and the Three Rivers Waterkeeper.

[Highland Park] FREE scrap fabric
by Emily Viehland 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

I sorted through my scrap fabric, and I have a big box of stuff (mainly jeans which are too hole-y for even the most fashion-forward young people today, but lots of other things of various sizes and styles) that is beyond use and honestly, beyond repair. I'd gladly donate them to a group that needs them, or, barring that, to any individual who thinks they can use the scraps. If you can think of a group who wants them (animal shelter, theater troupe, recycling group, etc) or if you personally want them, please let me know! Thanks! --Emily King Ave typhoon.emily(a)gmail.com -- http://healthylivingconsultant.info/

by Joan Soulliere 06 Jan '11

Dear Neighbors, Girl Scout Cookie sales start Friday, January 7th. There are at least 12 girl scouts living in Highland Park, representing 2 troops. Please support your neighborhood girls as they gain confidence and courage by ringing your bell. Cookies will be delivered the week of February 16. For many troops, this is their only fundraiser. Troops use these funds to do such things as an over night horseback riding trip, which is especially important and meaningful for urban Troops. Thank you in advance for your support!

Two Roombas. Been unplugged for a while since I realized I can't keep the floor toy-free enough to use them regularly but they worked fine last time I used them (probably 6 months ago now). $25/each. Accessories included (wall hanging rack for one, charging cords, and extra filters for both.) Batteries replaced a year ago when they started not holding a charge anymore. One is red, the basic model; the other a metallic green and has 3 settings. Michelle Butler

[Highland Park] Looking for a gym.
by eddiebeddie＠aol.com 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Wondering if anyone has had good or bad experiences at either Urban Active or Club One. I'd like to join a gym but know that there will be a hard sell at both. I've ruled out the Fitness Factory on Highland because of no parking. Any other local gyms that I'm missing? Thanks for your help. Kate Carrigan

[Highland Park] Wallpaper
by Richard Kuroski 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi, OK we are getting down to the wire on the bath remodel. Now we need a recommendation on someone to hang wallpaper. The person should be very experienced with a sound knowledge on how to handle old paper. The paper we are discussing is an Art and Craft design that is now obsolete so skill is an issue. Thanks, Rich and Bonnee
