NEWS FROM GARDEN RESOURCES OF WASHINGTON
please forward this message / or post on bulletin boards

On Saturday, November 8, from 1:00-4:00 pm, you can be a community
philanthropist just by going shopping.  On this day, Barnes & Noble Bookstore
at 3040 M Street NW will donate to Garden Resources of Washington 20% of what
you spend at the designated "GROW" register.  

What a great way for you to support local food production and neighborhood
environmental revitalization!  You do not have to make a donation.  All you
have to do is have fun shopping and the donation to GROW comes from Barnes &
Noble.  

Your generous shopping spree will help us get a truck!  

Garden Resources of Washington works in neighborhoods across the city helping
residents to create community gardens -- to produce much needed fresh,
organically grown food, to promote environmental stewardship, bring neighbors
together, provide intergenerational constructive recreation and neighborhood
revitalization.  

All you have to do is:
-- think of the upcoming Holiday season and make a list of everyone you will
buy for
-- think of yourself and what you would like for yourself
-- put on your comfortable shoes
-- remember that you can enjoy a break while shopping at Barnes & Noble's
-- invite your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues
-- stop by at the GROW table to register for door prizes and to sample
home-baked cookies

Remember -- Barnes & Noble, 3040 M Street NW, Washington, DC;  Saturday,
November 8, 1:00pm until 4:00pm; shop at the "GROW" register.  And remember
to designate GROW -- Agency #8885 -- in the United Way and Combined Federal
Campaign.  

 For more information, call GROW at 202-234-0591.
