FOOD BANK NEEDS YOU!
Food Commodity distribution at Crisis Center will be this Friday, April 1, from 10:00 to 3:00. Volunteers needed and MUCH appreciated; we are still trying to organize to avoid too many at once, or not enough volunteers at all, as well as trying to deal with truck delivery time and day being uncertain. Current thoughts: if you can help unload truck or make boxes, please TEXT Barry at (646) 547-3339, so he can coordinate a crew. However, on Friday, if you show up, you'll be made welcome!

Come out and Celebrate 15 years with The Community Garden

We have art and culinary art for the Silent Auction donated by:
Dale Jenssen, Cindy Burns, Skye Farris, Milky Way Treats, La Simcox, Zoey Sexton,
and Wendy Weckesser with more coming in. There will be native, perennial, annual, and house plants available by donation. A 3-year-old Black Mission Fig tree will be up for raffle $5 per ticket (need not be present to win). Brick Vault Brewery and BBQ in Marathon is donating the beer for the party. Big Thank You to Amy!!! We are still looking for a Food Vendor, and volunteers to help with face painting. At 2pm, Build With Papercrete  Binky and Jeff Sartain will share their knowledge on this sustainable building method. For those residents new to Terlingua, this is a great opportunity to learn a unique, inexpensive style of building. For more info to volunteer or donate, email info@greensgurl.com
