Hello Neighbors:

 I serve on the Board of Directors of Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse.  Creative Reuse is an innovative and growing organization that promotes resource conservation, creativity, and community engagement through material reuse.  We also know how to throw a great party.  

I'd like to invite you to join me at a "pay-what-you-wish" fundraiser on Thursday, August 21, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Wigle Whiskey's new Barrelhouse and Whiskey Garden on Spring Garden Avenue. We'll have a cash bar with Wigle's famous cocktails, small food donated by Bar Marco, Bistro to Go, and the East End Food Coop, plus more hearty fare from several popular food trucks.  Lone Pine String Band will provide live music, and since it's Creative Reuse, there will be hands-on creative opportunities for those so inclined.  

This fundraiser is for everybody, so tickets are "pay-what-you-wish" on EventBrite or at the door.  If you do pay in advance, we'll send you a deal code so you can use Uber to get to and from the party in style.  If you drive, please see some parking guidelines below.  

Wigle will donate 12% of drink and bottle sales to Creative Reuse, and there will also be a raffle of curious and wonderful items from the Creative Reuse shop.  Your contributions will help PCCR to keep useful materials out of our landfills, offer fun community programs, and save up for the day when their 21-year-old van kicks the bucket.  Here are the pertinent details:

This will be the party everyone will be talking about--- so please come, it'll be fun!  See you there.

Parking Tips from Wigle Whiskey

You can park in all the following places:
1. Gravel lot on Spring Garden Avenue, diagonal from Whiskey Garden
2. In alley behind Whiskey Garden, which you can access from Vinial or Basin Street. 
3. Street parking on Troy Hill Road, Vinial, Voskamp or any of the streets in the neighborhood. You can access Voskamp via Basin Street--we'll have a Wigle person there to help you find it! 
4. Lots surrounding Penn Brewery (including next to municipal building, and in gravel lot on Troy Hill Road, as well as lots on Vinial Street)
5. Lot behind Schiller Classical Academy which you can get to via Wetach St

Please do not park on sidewalks on Spring Garden Avenue. We heart our neighbors and the feeling is mutual right now. We don't want that to change!
