Getting Our Name Out!

 There are two upcoming events at which we will be getting our name out to the broader public.  The first is the Redlands Sustainability Festival on Saturday, March 29th from 11 to 3 PM at the University of Redlands.  Evelyn Ifft and I will be at an RAA table where we will be encouraging folks to join and touting the fact that we are the first and only small downtown business to have a solar power system.  We will be advertising all we do through youth and adult classes, grants to support art in public schools via MACEEF, and our gallery which is a great place to see good shows and buy quality gifts of all types.  Evelyn will also be demonstrating her pine needle basket weaving artistry.  For more information please visit the web site http://www.sustainableredlands.org.

The second and very exciting thing will be our participation in the one-day, on-line Give Big promotion supported by the Community Foundation and put on by San Bernardino county.  We will be one of over 110 non profit county organizations who will have web pages on the special Give Big site and will share in the gifts received on-line during the 24 hour outreach program on May 8th.  For more information visit the web site www.givebigsbcounty.org.  Our page is being prepared by Jillian O’Dwyer.
