Our Neighborhood Peace Park needs your help

Dear Friends,

Imagine, an empty corner lot strewn with layers of trash and overgrown brush. Now imagine that empty lot reclaimed by a group of neighborhood women as a memorial in the name of peace, and transfixed with a lush variety of trees, shrubs and flowers, people sitting on benches and walls, reading, sharing news, children running on grass, an artist teaching a class under the maple tree,

Women Together imagined this park three years ago and it will soon be a reality with untold possibilities for the Piedmont/Pleasant Street community. We have raised $91,000 of the $125,000 we committed to, but In order to close the gap of $39,000 by June 1, 2008, we need your help.

Beyond reaching our goal and not included in the budget, is a Wish List of furnishing and plantings to increase the enjoyment of a visit to the park, whether it’s for a run, a rest or a game:

Benches, Chess Tables with Chairs, Picnic Tables,
Storage Shed, Wrought Iron Entryway, Kiosks,
Stage Area, Holiday Tree, Plantings, Memorial Wall,
Water Spray Feature, Landscape Boulders, Site Sign

No matter how big or how small, every donation makes an impact. Please make your check payable to Women Together.
All donations are tax deductible.

EARTH DAY CLEAN UP

MAY 3 is Earth Day and Women Together has their traditional neighborhood clean up.

We meet each year at the corner of Pleasant St and Winslow St, to share tools, gloves, T-shirts, some exercise, and start cleaning Pleasant St from Park Ave to Main St.
It is not only be proud of our neighborhood, keeping it nice and clean, it is an important opportunity to build community, know neighbors, and strength the fabric of our society.

AWAKE LADIES!!!!!

Spring is here. GO OUT.
It is time to have a Potluck and an Earth Day Clean Up!!

Let plan it together.

SATURDAY 22 at 10 am at Pleasant Street Neighborhood Network Center.
Put on your thinking head and come to dream with us

RECAST


We've played our separate roles
Too long.
Let us now recast our parts.
And I be you and you be me,
Exchange our lives------our griefs and joys;
Give me your wants and take my deep desires,
Wear my smiles and let me show your frowns.
Recast, restage, and restore our world
To harmony
And call
The new production
Peace.
