[Highland Park] Fennel bulb, anyone?
by Jack and Liz Buchanan 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Our family subscribes to a CSA, and we love everything we get- except the fennel- We even have some frozen "just in case" - But we received two more big bulbs today, and would love to give it away to someone for Christmas turkey stuffing, or whatever, rather than compost it. You could pick it up at my house on Jackson Street if interested- email me directly, off-list if you want it! email jacknliz(a)yahoo.com thanks, Liz Buchanan --------------------------------- Yahoo!

[Highland Park] Fun Event to share with the Neighborhood
by Scanlon, Jennifer 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hello Highland Park neighbors: Happy holidays! I know this is a busy time of year for everyone, but after the hustle and bustle of December passes, we'll be entering the quiet month of January! Here's a perfect activity to spice up the month - for kids off all ages!!!! If you have kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, you won't want to miss out on the upcoming 10th Annual UPMC Children's Ball. This event is exactly what it sounds like it's going to be - a dress-up ball for kids ... and one they will never forget! The 10th Annual Children's Ball will be held on Saturday, January 28, 2006 from 6 - 9:00 p.m. Not only is the ball turning 10 this year, but it's switching homes - to the Carnegie Science Center, "an interactive learning and play place" for children of all ages! What better place to host an event for young folks than in a place that is filled with children's activities, exhibitions and performances? FYI, here's more info on the Children's Ball: * UPMC's Children's Ball is a unique opportunity for families to dress in their Sunday best for a night of entertainment and fun - all while giving back! The Children's Ball has been touted as the region's family event of the year. We anticipate that nearly 1000 parents and children will attend this magical evening as we celebrate 10 wonderful years and look ahead to the future. * The theme for the 2006 event will revolve around the Science Center's traveling exhibit, "Action Filmmaking!" As in the past, we plan to dazzle children and their parents with activities, entertainment and food -- this time focused on "all things film." The only way to experience the sparkle, creativity, and birthday magic is to mark your calendar and plan to attend! One thing's for sure, guests of all ages will enjoy watching the balloon artists and magicians, visiting with their favorite characters, dancing to music, and participating in the new and creative activities and performances that coincide with the Science Center offerings. * Proceeds from the Children's Ball will, once again, benefit UPMC Braddock's Summer Camp Program. The UPMC Braddock's Summer Camp Program, which began in 2003, is a camping experience for children and young adults from kindergarten - 10th-grade. The overall focus of the camping experience is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. Young folks enrolled in the program (at no cost) receive instruction in art, reading/writing/math, career exploration, nutrition, and life skills education.

by Christine Frechard-Harbison 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

I would like to create an Institute of Art and Languages, where Languages will be taught in situation through music, visual art, gilding and culinary art. We would like to be a 501 C3 organisation but we need to have a "feel" of the feasability in Pittsburgh...before we start anything. Would you like to help, by completing this "survey on line" and emailing it back? I would really appreciate it, it will take only a few seconds... And ideally, if you could pass it over to other friends, that would be a wonderful help! We would like to create the Institute in Highland Park...hopefully. Thank you, merci , grazie,gracias, danke, olbrigada, spaciba... Christine _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?
