One of our first two MESA BAZAARS held at The Gathering Place, the latter one Wednesday July 15.
A fund-raiser for our Community Service Garden Project for now, the Bazaar takes in donations from our neighbors' gardens and are swapped for funds from others. It is held every Wednesday at The Gathering Place (the strip of Holy Cross property on Meigs) from 4 to 7 p.m.
Starting next Wednesday, we will take in your household "white elephants" and have a sort of a common yard sale for donations too. Artists are welcome to bring in their crafts also for percentage of their proceeds. Spend some productive time with neighbors--come to the Mesa Bazaar.
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE GENEROUSLY PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT! You are leaving a tangible legacy to our neighborhood.
OUR DEEP GRATITUDE TO JOHN AND ESTELLE FOSTER who are taking much of their personal time, effort and funds to jumpstart the Community Service Garden project in our neighborhood - all for a zero-mile food production on the Mesa - THANKS JOHN AND ESTELLE!
We also thank those who are helping create The Gathering Place: plant donors- Terry Fountain, Cindy Weber, Debbie Williams, Jim Watson, Stacie Bouffard, Lane Anderson, Liz Greenwald and the anonymous ones who just left the plants in the strip; for their time and labor - Abi Webber, Chona Pinnock, Wayne Tustin, Lane Anderson, Millie and Cheri Ravenscroft, Mr. Santa Barbara Terry, Bob Nice and Lucia Casso.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVELY NEIGHBORS! |
Our first Mesa Neighborhood Bazaar was held Wednesday, July 8th at The Gathering Place. There was fun, information, and great conversation. The lovely donations of plums, lemons, zuccinni apples, lettuce, cilantro, chives, giant avocados, herbs --Walla Walla onions, Italian parsley, true guava, and rare hot chili pepper plants went around pretty quick.
The first Bazaar Day items were donated by John & Estelle, Neil & Marie Chu, Bob & Rozie Larson, Ron & Susan Green, and Sally Walker. The produce are being shared for donations to purchase materials for the greenhouses, among many.
Community Service Garden Project Headed by John and Estelle Foster, the Community Service Garden is envisioned to provide locally grown produce to the neighborhood, at the same time feeding the needy.
To date, there are two areas where greenhouses will be set up: in Braemar and in the Holy Cross Parish fenced-in property, which Ron&Susan Green and Fr. Ludo de Clippel, parish pastor, respectively, have so generously loaned to us.
Call 965-4491 or estelle2@cox.net to donate or volunteer.
