Siletz Tribal Energy Program
We invite the Employees of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (and friends) to participate in a Book, Magazine and Movie Swap during Earth Week April 15-19. We are celebrating Earth Day by promoting the concepts of reduce, reuse, and recycle! Please bring in the books, magazines and movies you no longer want and trade them for others. If you are here and you don't have anything to swap that's okay too...share and reuse is what it's all about!! Any items remaining at the end of the week will be available for free at the Earth Day Fair (in cooperation with the SAAM 5K Run/Walk) on Saturday April 20 at our booth. Items remaining after that event will be donated.

How it works:
Bring your unloved books, movies or magazines to the Administration building lunchroom or the Clinic Shell room starting Monday April 15. Leave what you want to donate, take what you need. Be reasonable. Items will be randomly transferred between the Clinic and Admin as necessary to encourage you to look more than once.

Have fun!

LCFG meeting is scheduled Tues Apr 16th, 12-2 at Food Share in Newport. All interested in food system issues and solutions may attend.
Hope to see you there! :)

Plus, the author and I had the same reaction. Not only were too many informative classes scheduled at the same time but also blooming daffodils signal that it's time to fertilize the pasture within a couple weeks!!  
As she remarks, "Daffodils are a good thing. So are Small Farms
Conferences.   :)
