Celebrate Spring Savings in the Village!
Saturday, March 27th

Vida Bela presents:

A Celebration of Spring - from 1pm to 5pm - Meet local artist, Jeanie O'Neill, the creator of wonderfully whimsical oils, exquisite handbags, and unique custom wardrobe pieces. Her daughter Brennen will be on hand to show, sell, and schedule bookings for Silpada jewelry. What better time to book a get-together that your friends can finally get out of their driveways to attend. Susan Stidham, from the Lifestream Center, will be demonstrating (on lucky volunteers) her Ionic Detoxifying Footbaths. And Lisa Cochran will share her world of Scentsy Wickless Candles and scents - how many more reasons can we give you to throw a party??

Stop Hunger Now: Haiti - You can help! Sunday, March 14th @ Patrick Henry High School

Volunteers needed to help pack meals for Haiti:
Sunday, March 14th
Patrick Henry High School
11am-8pm

Please join us Sunday, March 14, 2010 at Patrick Henry High School to pack dehydrated meals for Haiti through Stop Hunger Now, an international food relief organization. Roanoke area churches, colleges and civic groups are soliciting donations and volunteers for this event– a project to package 140,000 meals to send to Haiti in the aftermath of the recent earthquakes.

Working in shifts of one and a half hours, volunteers of all ages will assemble packets of rice, soy, dehydrated vegetables and a flavoring mix with vitamins and minerals. These packets will be shipped to Haiti in April.

Between 500 and 700 volunteers and $35,000 are needed to pack 140,000 meals. The event will last from 11 to 7 on Sunday, March 14.

We hope to make this event as diverse as possible and welcome volunteers of all ages, denominations and backgrounds. Our website is www.stophungernowroanoke.wordpress.com.

For additional information, contact Jenny Fife, Coordinator, St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church: jlgarrett@mindspring.com or 540-797-8174.
