EARTH DAY CELEBRATION, April 22
Once again we will be gathering with students and teachers from North Washington Elementary School and community leaders to celebrate this earth that is our home. Join us for music, messages by our judge and our mayor, a short keynote by St. Catharine Berry Farming Program student Shelby Floyd, and a great lunch as we remind ourselves how grateful we are for this planet that gives us all life, and as we give each other encouragement in the work of keeping our earth healthy and strong.
SECOND ANNUAL GREEN FESTIVAL, April 25
The first annual Green Festival was such a success that everyone wanted to do it again. Vendors share local food, crafts, products, skills and services. Bring the kids, have a locally grown lunch or snack and see what your neighbors are up to. Energy around this event is already very high among the planners and the vendors. We can hardly wait for Spring and all the good events it will bring this year.
Want a booth focused on some form of sustainability to sell or to teach? Contact us soon at NewPioneersSF@aol.com for an application. There are still some spaces available, so help us out by encouraging your friends, neighbors, or other contacts.
NP 10th ANNIVERSARY DINNER, MAY 21
Mark your calendar for this rescheduled date if you had bought tickets for March 5 (before the big second snow!) at St. Catharine’s. There will be a great locally sourced meal, silent auction, awards given to Mary Berry, director of the Berry Center and daughter of Wendell, as well as to Martha and Arthur Young, and lots of good companionship at the tables. A few tickets ($35 each) are still available and can be purchased at the New Pioneers office.
