Home Depot & Lowe's KID Workshops


On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot offers the same sort of workshop between 9 a.m. and noon.  (It only lasts that long if there's enough interest.)

These are free programs and great for both genders.  Free aprons and eye protection are usually included and available for take-home.  Certificates are personalized and offered at the end for successful completion of the project.  Lowe's gives a patch and a sticker.  Home Depot gives a pin for clothing.  These are fun to collect and/or scrapbook.  Take your camera . . . it's a hoot!   Take advantage of it!    

On the second Saturday of each month, Lowe's hosts a building workshop for children, free of charge.  I believe it starts at 10 a.m. and lasts one-hour.

I just wanted to let everyone know that the elementary school Petroglyph Elementary School will be having a
"Winter Wonderland Carnival" on (February) 7th from 12:00-3:00.
This is on a Saturday so if anyone would like to take their family or just an outing for the kids it sounds wonderful.

There will be jumpers, giant slides, an obstacle course, face painting and a great deal of delicious food!
It looks like the tickets are 4/$1.00. If you would like more information there is a contact number of 897-4718.

Have a wonderful weekend ladies!

Sat Feb 7: Ready, Set, Grow

Spread over three South Valley farmsites, Erda Gardens and Learning Center is a network of agricultural wonderlands that, at the end of the day, cultivates as much community as it does produce. The CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is comprised of members who help grow and harvest food (all pesticide-free and biodynamic) and receive weekly shares of the fresh produce. This Saturday, from 1-4 pm, CSA supporters will gather for the first Erda work party of the year, which will lay the groundwork for the May-October growing season. Bring water, a sun hat and your curiosity to 1305 Blake SW (off Isleta).
For more information, call 610-1538 or visit http://www.erdagardens.org. (Laura Marrich)
