Plus, There are some other opportunities including - The Fall Clean up day at Prospect Park. This is it folks your <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">LAST CHANCE</span> to participate in the AWARD WINNING LUNA LAKE GARDEN PROJECT. <br>______________________________<br>Hi Everyone,<br><br>Luna Lake is looking good - the plants are really
filling out, the fall colors are starting to pop and the asters and joe
pye weed are still blooming! All it needs is a quick spruce up before
Winter to keep it looking its best next Spring. We're hoping you can
help us next Sunday, October 18th, from 10AM to 12PM as we weed,
fertilize, and repair signage and fencing. This is a very light work
load, so it should go fairly quickly. Some of us plan to fuel up
beforehand at Cafe Luwak on Cross St. (<span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT290"><a href="http://www.cafeluwak.com/" target="_blank">www.cafeluwak.com</a></span>) at 9AM (see their breakfast buffet promo below). <cite> <br>
<br></cite>If anyone has any metal fence stakes or rebar that they can
donate, we would be most grateful! We need a sturdy alternative to our
rope and wood fence to keep kids (and grown ups) off the ice! We lost a
lot of branches last year to folks who, due to the snow, were unaware
of special plantings in that area. <br>
<br>This is a great opportunity to meet your neighbors and enjoy some
time outside before the cold weather hits. Hope to see you there!<br><br>- Rachel<br><br><br><br><br><hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><br><span class="title" style="color: rgb(41, 82, 163);">Ypsi’s Got Talent</span><div class="detail-content"><div class="detail-item"><span class="event-details-label">When</span><span class="event-when">Fri, October 16, 7pm – 9pm</span></div> <div class="detail-item"><span class="event-details-label">Where</span><span class="event-where">Tap Room, 201 W.

I will be broadcasting and playing music live on location from The Ark

know WEMU is a public radio station affiliated with NPR and a huge
chunk of our funding comes directly from our listeners. Even if you
are not in a position to give much, we will reach our goals if
everybody who listens just gives a little. Go out to your car and lift
up the floor mat, look for some change and that will be enough.
Support Roots Music on the radio!<br><br>Seriously though, tomorrow
will be cool and I will have some special guests down at The Ark
including The RFD Boys who I may be able to coerce into playing some
live music if the fundraising is going well. You are also welcome to
