NERT will stage a city-wide drill on April 17th and you can help!

NERT needs volunteers to play the role of victims in the city-wide drill at Everett Middle School on Saturday, April 17th. You will be assigned a particular injury and be made up with theatrical bandages. It is a fun opportunity to hone your acting skills and help out a great cause. Practice makes perfect. People of all ages are welcome. There is nothing like an actual hands-on experience to prepare us for what we may encounter in a real life disaster. Please contact NERT to become a volunteer - (415) 970-2022.

For more information on upcoming NERT trainings click the flyer below.

"This Land Is Your Land" by Amy Ruppel 

Designer Amy Ruppel's limited-edition 8x10 digital print "This Land Is Your Land" was inspired by a hike in the Oregon forest and a love of tall pine trees. Amy's print is available for purchase by way of The Working Proof, an organization dedicated to promoting art and social responsibility. 15% of each print’s sale will be donated to American Forests, whose mission is to work with communities on local efforts that restore and maintain forest ecosystems.

Friends and colleagues:

I had the great pleasure of spending the week of my daughter Allyson’s wedding in Mexico this past December with my favorite Nephew, Jordan. We shared a hotel room, and hung out the whole week. A great young man who for the past several years has volunteered full time all over the world for Doctors Without Borders. He is a Logistics Field Manager, getting medical supplies and equipment into ravaged parts of the planet and scheduling doctors and nurses from all over the world who donate a week, or a month, of their time to treat the world’s poorest and neediest in some of the harshest places on earth.

Jordan’s assignment for this past year has been Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which as you probably know was just devastated by a huge earthquake. The hospital where he was working yesterday collapsed. I e-mailed him hoping against hope that he was O.K. His short reply to me is below.

If you are able, you can donate $5, or $10, $25, or $100 to this non-denominational, non-partisan volunteer organization that does so much for the weakest people on earth. And boy do they need help now. You can donate in honor of someone, perhaps a loved one, or you can donate in the name of Jordan Wiley. Whoever you donate in the name of will get an e-card with every donation, which, if it’s Jordan, I’m sure will warm his heart in what must be hell on earth at this moment.

Thanks for listening, for anything you are able to contribute, and please forward this e-mail to anyone who may be able to help in this effort: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/

The Neighborhood Parks Council, the Mayor's Office, the Planning Department, and Friends of Kimball Park will be hosting a Western Addition Workshop on Open Space Framework for San Francisco.

Location: Western Addition Branch Library
(1550 Scott Street @ Geary)

Supervisor Ross Mirkarimiʼs legislative aide Vallie Brown (Vallie.Brown@sfgov.org) attended last monthʼs meeting.

In 2005 enough people protested and spoke up against the Rec & Park and City Fieldʼs intent to convert our grass lawn into a synthetic tire waste field, that the project was shelved.


In 2009, much to the surprise of the neighborhood, we now hear that bids and plans are quietly being made to proceed.

ITʼS UP TO US TO PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
