Today is Earthday

Well, as you might notice from the times of the postings, I have to catch up sometimes quite early, when the children are sleeping, and I am not... Anyway, here's a great link from Yahoo,of things you can do to celebrate Earthday, which is today, Friday, April 22nd, and if you are in the mood to help plant a few trees, as well as entertain your senses, then go to "Releaf and Rhythms". Here is a link from the Madison County Herald, who helped promote the event, and Here is some text from Donna Yowell I was sent to help promote the event as well:


Releaf and Rhythms will be held again this year in celebration of the 35thEarth Day, on April 22 2005 (6 PM-12 PM).
The celebration will include a concert using local musicians, approximately 15 musicians- all jamming together; at Phillips on the reservoir. Artist and writers exhibiting their work. Food and drinks will be provided byPhillips, with $10 cover charge.The proceeds will be used to plant trees at schools throughout the metroarea. Last year as a result of the event and with your help we planted(with the Farish district kids) 13 trees in the Farish street district and 6 at other needy locations in honor of local musicians. A dedication ceremony iscoming in May with Sam Myers and BB and others- will keep you posted.
We will plant trees in the artists/writers honor this time.
We need sponsors the help pay for the band and the trees. We also need partners willing to donate time and energy with a number of promotional aspects of the event. Thank you for your consideration and if you have questions please call.
