The Waldorf School of Pittsburgh (in neighboring Friendship) is having their annual winter greens sale fundraiser. Many thanks to all you wonderful neighbors who participated last year. Attached is a brochure with this year's pictures and prices. If you are interested in ordering, please email me your order and either: (1) pop a check made out to "Waldorf School of Pittsburgh" in the mail to me at 923 N. Highland Ave., Pgh., PA 15206; or (2) make arrangements to have me come pick the check up at your house. I will deliver the greens to your Highland Park/East End home on approximately December 5. Please note that I will need to have all orders and checks in hand by Sunday, November 21, so that I can deliver them to the school by the deadline. Happy holidays and thank you for your support!
