Last Thursday on Alberta: Community meeting with Mayor Adams and Commissioner Fritz!

The ASBA strongly encourages Alberta Street Businesses, neighbors and anyone who enjoys this event to attend the following City sponsored meeting regarding the future of Last Thursday.

______________________________________________________________

Mayor Sam Adams and City Commissioner Amanda Fritz are hosting a community meeting regarding Last Thursday on Alberta!

They are interested in hearing from any and all stakeholders of the event, including businesses from Alberta Street, neighboring residents, vendors, performers, and attendees. The meeting will take place on Monday, February 8th, from 6:00 to 8:00pm, at the Acadian Ballroom at 1829 NE Alberta Street.

We know that there are many, many people who have an opinion about Last Thursday on Alberta-- positive, negative, or neutral. The Mayor and the Commissioner want to hear ALL of these opinions. They are contemplating a number of options for the future of Last Thursday, including continuing it as is, continuing it with substantial changes, or ending the event.

Please spread the word among your neighbors and friends.

Leave No Plastic Behind Art Opening

Leave No Plastic Behind: Art Opening!

Saturday, January 2, 2010
5:30-8:30 PM

Raffle, Art, Plastic Free Soiree!

See the latest additions to the National Plastic Quilt Project. 18 artists from around the country made 24 brilliantly designed squares. Squares from the previous exhibits will also be on display. Show will be up at Pie Footwear thru January.

Leave No Plastic Behind presents art exhibits and creative events year round to raise consciousness about the damaging effects of single-use plastic and motivate folks to reduce and reuse. LNPB is activated by how much plastic travels from land to the ocean (google pacific garbage patch) and the fact that we can be smarter and healthier without so many single use “conveniences” in the world.
