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.

No fancy graphics a la Carissa (smooch!). Just an announcement that tomorrow, Sunday, April 26 is La Montanita Coop's Earth Fest in Nob Hill. It runs from 10am-6pm and features a GMO teach-in, a transition town mini-training, lot's of booths featuring locally owned businesses and farmers, as well as several local bands for entertainment. We'll be there after 3pm. Hope to see some of you then.

UNM is hosting its annual lecture series from Monday, April 27-Thursday April 30. The focus is on Vision and Visionaries in the Middle Ages and will include lectures, a concert by the UNM Early Music Ensemble, and a performance about Julian of Norwich by Barbara Newman, eminent scholar of medieval mysticism. For more information go to http://www.unm.edu/~medinst. The Sunday Journal ran a piece on this event today in the "Books" section. If anyone wants to go together I will be attending the offerings on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
