Hi Y'all,
Beat the Summer Heat and enjoy the air-conditioning with frugal friends at the Westbank library this coming Monday – June 29th, at 12:00 noon.
Join us in a roundtable “Show and Tell”. Bring examples or pictures to convey your favorite money and time saving ideas, or just share your stories.
Also on Monday, If you want, participate in a Summer Cookie swap:
Bring a batch of about 12 to 24 healthy-ish cookies and take home a variety that you didn’t have to bake yourself. FYI - I’ll be bringing oatmeal/raisin/walnut with plenty extra for tasters.
Enjoy our usual monthly Green $elf! features (note that you must be present to benefit):
