2nd Annual Yard Sale a Success!

Thank you to all the Eiber residents who donated their treasures for Eiber's resale and profit on June 5th.  Eiber board volunteer collected donations, priced items, organized and set up for the sale, peddled goods all day long, and cleaned up including the final donations of any remaining items.  We made nearly $500 to benefit the work of the Eiber Neighborhood Association. We thank all of you for your commitment to our community and our annual fund raiser to enable the Eiber board to continue to represent and communicate all the area happenings to you!  Special thanks to Paul Ditson, Fran Yehle, Ed Calmus and Merry Hansen who spent their Saturday working on behalf of Eiber! 

Interested In Community Gardening?

Several people expressed interest in doing a community garden in the Two Creeks Neighborhood.  One idea is an NSA.  It is a neighborhood share connection where several people get together and coordinate their growing at each yard to share.  Barbara Moore of Harvest Mountain non-profit is going to farm John's sideyard [12th and Vance]  and offer some demo classes on organic growing and composting.  More...
