[RP TownTalk] Roommate Wanted

[Sarah Nemeth]

Hello,

We're some nice girls who need another roommate to share a large
Georgian-style home in historic Hyattsville. Currently we have one room
available.

We have an on-site washer and dryer, a large common area including dining
room, living room and stocked kitchen with dishwasher, and a large bathroom
with tub and shower.

We're clean, responsible, professional women going through school and work,
so we understand the needs for a quiet, stress-free environment. 

If you're interested, please call Sarah at 240.354.4832 or e-mail
betweensundays at gmail.com

Thanks!

Subject: [RP TownTalk] New Years News from the Master Peace Community Garden

 

Happy New Year from the Master Peace Community Garden:

 

We're very excited to get started on our new year's growing season, and have
some news to share!

 

Master Gardener Training - The Engaged University is hosting the Prince
George's County Master Gardeners training, a great community horticultural
class open to the public.  Learn all aspects of gardening, from fruit tree
pruning to soils to weed management, as well as how to apply that knowledge
to your community.  The training is at the Center for Educational
Partnership, where the Master Peace Community Garden is located, and is
every Tuesday evening from March 4th to June 28th.  Learn as much as any
University class, for a fraction of the cost.  For more information,
including how to apply for the class, visit
http://mastergardener.umd.edu/local/Prince%20Georges/index.cfm .
Registration is limited to 25 people, and we are getting very close to that
number, so if this interests you act quickly.

 

Community Garden Meetings - We have scheduled a series of meetings to get
your feedback about what you would like to see in the garden.  If you would
like to help us plan or spread the word about these meetings, let us know.
We hope to use the information gathered at these meetings to design the
youth and family educational programs, the volunteer programs, as well as
our farmers market.  All meetings will be held at the Center for Educational
Partnership (see address below).  The meeting times and dates are:

            Wednesday February 20th from 6 to 7PM

            Saturday March 1st from 10 to 11AM

            Tuesday March 4th from 6 to 7 PM

            Saturday March 15th from 10 to 11AM

 

Community Garden Plots -  We are about ready to accept applications for this
growing season's community garden plots.  Last year where we supplied the
space, seeds, water, and tools that neighborhood families used grow healthy
fruits and vegetables for their homes, but didn't have a set educational
program that went along with the community gardening.  This year, we are
developing a Saturday family gardening educational program that will use
these plots.  In addition to last year's program, this program is designed
for neighbors to come together to learn together about gardening and
cooking.  We are working to develop this program, and as soon as we do, and
get everything translated into Spanish, we will be sending it out.  

 

Volunteer Day -  To celebrate the beginning of the growing season and the
end of the Alternative Spring Break program, in which a team of University
of Maryland student will be helping us expand our garden, we invite the
whole community for a day of volunteering.  Come out on Saturday March 22nd,
from 10 to 3PM, and prepare to have some fun in our garden.

 

Internships - Do you know a high school or college student that's looking
for a great internship experience where they can learn the fundamentals of
gardening and community nutrition?  The Master Peace Community Garden is
looking for interns to work with us during the 2008 growing season.  You can
download the position's advertisement from our
<http://www.engagedu.umd.edu/programs/cnuf/mpg>  website,
