The Terlingua Moon - May 23, 2023 - Vol. 34, No. 31

 

TERLINGUA MOON
May 22, 2023
by Terlingua Thinking Team

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

"Telehealth care has also helped break down certain barriers that have long been a problem in health care. Geography, lack of free time and the cost of transportation are all access barriers erased by telehealth services across health care, and especially in behavioral health, where appointments can be difficult to obtain." - American Hospital Association

COMMUNITY GARDEN
Come see us at the Saturday Community Market from 10:00-1:00. Located at the Community Garden in the Ghost Town, we're there every Saturday with happy vendors offering an array of locally produced goods. Micro greens, fresh eggs, must-see local art, handcrafted textiles, goat milk soap, all natural lip balms, hand balms and perfumes, leather goods, Sandy's creative pop up shop and more, including talented local food vendors.

We welcome new vendors. We ask a $10 donation to the Community Garden to set up, helping us to continue to improve this space and experience for all of us. For more information, text or call 432.213.1863 or email SherriTheWriter@aol.com

Do you have mad skills and smart, practical talents you'd like to share? We all love to learn about sustainable arts and useful skills here in Terlingua. Let's talk about a workshop.

MILKY WAY TREATS
