Consider sharing your native plants
|
We are looking for donations of native flowering plants for the Fremont Township Community Garden. Our garden would like to do its part to support the native pollinators that are an integral part of our food web. Native plants provide food and shelter for these insects, while helping produce food. If you have extra native plants, such as echinacea, yellow coneflower, bergamot, boneset, blazing star, compass flower, little bluestem or prairie dropseed, please consider sharing with our community garden! Contact Alicia at adodd67@comcast.net to coordinate drop-off.
A special Thank You to Jack Bowes, Dan Beelow and Rick Podgorski who donated bees for our garden. Alicia will be bringing them to the garden on Saturday! Every workday seems to be accompanied with a special gift--sometimes it's new knowledge or meeting more wonderful friends of the garden. Other times the gift takes a more physical form--like the signs that arrived last Saturday, handcrafted by Earl and Jeanne Brown. Made of cedar with the burned lettering, these signs will last for years and they are going to make veggie bed identification a piece of cake, as well as helping newcomers identify what we have growing! The Browns also mounted the girls scouts painted birdhouses to their posts and we will be installing them soon.
Next week is a busy week in the garden! We have a corporate workday on Tuesday afternoon, a class from St Mary's on Thursday (early afternoon) and an Indian Princess work team on Saturday morning. Volunteers are always welcome.

Relay for Life Event at Crossroads on May 31. The Kirk Players will be performing Charlotte's Web on Friday, June 12, Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14. www.kirkplayers.org Kirk Players Offer Free Summer workshops on Monday nights June 15th through July 27th. If you are interested drop them a noteat info@kirkplayers.org. Their summer workshops for children and adults are, and have always been, FREE! Any child ages 5 to 14 who is interested in exploring the stage is invited to join them or a 7-week children's theatre workshop. Led by experienced Kirk Players, their workshop provides young actors with an opportunity to perform while giving them the ability to apply theatre techniques that can be used to enrich their everyday life. They will organize classes by age groups and these classes are still free of charge. Younger children play theatre games that use their highly developed sense of imagination and start them on the way to enjoying theatre. They learn listening skills, practice following directions and develop respect for others and their ideas. Older actors will be using scripted material to learn to develop characterization, think on their feet, improve focus and vocal projection and learn how to use stage directions. For our adults workshop, they are asking students to bring their own material to work on - Paddy Lynn will explain more the first time they meet. For your reference, here is a summary of the details for both programs: CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP

Recycle Sheets, Blankets, Towels, Shoes, Eyeglasses |
If you have used towels, sheets or blankets that need to be recycled, please consider bringing them to Fremont Township at 22385 Rt 60, Mundelein to be donated to local Animal Shelters and Rescues. Please drop them in the bin on the front porch. This keeps them out of the landfill and puts them to good use.
We also accept eye glasses and shoes to be recycled year round. If you are disposing of shoes that have laces, please tie the laces together. Thanks to our residents, we recycled 1240 pairs of shoes in the last twelve months!
