LUNGS Festival HELP Needed !!

Help Needed–The Third Annual LUNGS Harvest Arts Festival is taking place in more than 30 community gardens on the Lower East Side on Saturday, September 20 & Sunday, September 21.

The gardens will host performances and workshops in music, dance, theater, spoken word, the arts, and more. One of the highlights of this year’s Festival is a performance by Bread And Puppet Theater of their new piece, “Anti Tar Sands Manifesto Pageant”

Help is needed to publicize the Festival, design and distribute posters and flyers, copy editing for the Festival program, coordinating events and scheduling.

This year the Festival coincides with the People’s Climate March, In support of the People’s Climate March, many gardens will host workshops and teach-ins on a wide range of environmental issues.

On Sunday, the Festival gets on its feet as gardeners and friends join the People’s Climate March en masse. To prepare for the march we need artists to design costumes and banners and visuals that can be carried that will represent our love of Mother Earth and all things natural.

This is going to be a historic event we need to step up as New Yorkers, if you can help in any way, contact us.

HELP the Childrens Magical Garden This TUESDAY !!!

Dear Friends of Children’s Magical Garden,

Things are moving forward with the situation with the part of our community garden that’s currently fenced off from our use, lot 19.

We’ve sent out some careful and diplomatic channels to the new developer.

However, we need to protect our legal rights and make sure that he doesn’t start building on our community garden.
So… we’re filing our adverse possession claim tomorrow, March 10th.

The developer has refused to talk thus far.

We’re having a press conference about our magical community garden this coming Tuesday March 11th, 7:15 AM. Come before school or work.

Where: At Children’s Magical Garden, on the corner of Stanton and Norfolk St. Click link for google map location.

F train to Delancey, LES (walk 2 blks north)

Who: We need as many people as possible, especially children, parents, teachers, other school workers and students.

Why: To show the press community support and love of the community garden to help make it whole.

The fun bits: There will be hot cocoa, doughnuts, cider, apples, and some other healthy alternative for people’s breakfasts. You’re welcome to bring something to share!

Help: We need help spreading the word, especially to school children and their parents and teachers, but to everyone.
You’ll find a flyer attached. Word of mouth and phone calls work best of all, so tell all of your friends and make a hot cocoa date for Tuesday morning!
