Celebrate Earth Day on April 25, 2009

Please join the Wickliffe Progressive School community, UAPA and Sustainable UA for an Earth Day Event on Saturday, April 25, 2009, at Wickliffe School, 2405 Wickliffe Road. These groups will be working together to get volunteers, Ohio-native plants and monetary donations for a community beautification event in celebration of Earth Day.

This is a great way for residents to provide community support for the school, for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to earn merit badges, and for high school students to fulfill community service requirements. Volunteers will be planting trees and plants, pruning old trees, and spreading mulch.

Two shifts are available for volunteers: 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon, and 12:00 noon – 3:00 p.m.

To volunteer, send an email to either Kris Rojas at krisrojas@sbcglobal.net or Robyn Harper at robynharper@sbcglobal.net to let them know you're coming, or just simply show up! Bring a shovel, spade or hand trowel marked with your name, and work gloves.

If you would like to make a monetary donation, please send a check, made payable to Wickliffe PTO, with "Earth Day event" written in the memo line, and send to Wickliffe Progressive School, 2405 Wickliffe Road, UA, 43221.

Mother Earth thanks you!

Help Support Gov. Strickland's Education Agenda

Governor Strickland's Education Agenda is at the forefront of his administration right now. He's asking supporters to send out postcards to people in their zip code with a personal note asking them to support his Education Plan.

Jan Davis is coordinating this effort for the 43221 and 43220 zip codes. All you have to do is send Jan an email with your name and address at eyendavis@aol.com, and she will bring you a pack of postcards, addresses and sample notes that you can use. The packets are in groups of 25. There are thousands of these to be mailed in the next few weeks. You would be responsible for the postage.

Help get Ohio moving forward with the Governor's plan!
