Tote Bags to Benefit KIB

Half Price Books Reusable Tote Bags
to Benefit KIB

For those that have not visited Half Price Books, its a great place to find all of your favorite titles for HALF of the cost! And, the company has an environmental ethic they are bringing to life.

Now when you shop at a Half Price Books store, you can purchase a reusable tote bag for $0.98. And what is ever BETTER is that $0.10 of every tote bag purchase will go to KIB! Half Price Books will be providing KIB with a check on Earth Day 2009 to celebrate all of the shoppers who made the switch.

So, think about getting your best friend a little something from Half Price Books this year, and get a tote bag while you are at it!

Volunteer Opportunity in the Garden

Building a Garden to Beautify
Laurel & Woodlawn

We have met with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful and have plans in hand to work in our garden, the lot next door to Emmanuel Baptist Church at 920 Laurel Street, that has grown into a strange assortment of flowers/weeds. Could you please put out the word that our two dates to finish the project are Saturday, August 23 (the day we dig and lay the pavers) and Saturday, September 6 (the day we actually plant). Both Saturdays are from 9:00-12:00. We need 6-8 volunteers on the first date, and about 15 on the second date. Lunch will be provided on the second date only. We will have plenty of water on hand to keep everyone hydrated. KIB has drawn up a really nice plan that we know will bring beauty and, we hope, serenity to the entire neighborhood. That's our goal! Thanks for helping me get the word out.
