November 7th, 2009

Please join the Sierra Club and the Two Rivers Wildlife Refuge on Wednesday November 4th and Saturday and Sunday, November 7th and 8th beginning at 9 a.m. for a tree planting project.

We will plant 1000 trees to create a corridor of bird & wildlife habitat and establish a natural savannah between the road way and the wildlife refuge.

This is scheduled as a long half-day project with snacks and drinks included.

Everyone should bring gloves and outdoor clothing along with leather or rubber boots. Shovels are needed!

Registration is requested and can be done by replying to cfavilla10@sbcglobal.netwith your name, e-mail contact, time and date you will commit, and number of friends and family coming with you.

Directions: from Grafton, Illinois you must cross the Illinois River using the Brussels Ferry and travel approximately 3 miles toward Brussels, Ill. The tree planting area is beside the highway directly across from the Pohlman Slough sign or on the right side of the highway.

Note: wet weather will affect work conditions and perhaps the work date. An e-mail the previous evening will contain any possible changes.

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

Marquette Catholic High School presents ALL I REALLY NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED
IN KINDERGARTEN and One Minute Scenes

In 1990, Robert Fulghum published a simple credo-a credo that became the
phenomenal #1 New York Times bestseller All I Really Need to Know I Learned
in Kindergarten. The book which was adapted into a play is now presented on
stage. Selections from the script reveal the most basic aspects of life,
including its insight, lessons and stories. Because "Kindergarten" allowed
us to make an abbreviated production, the students will also present the
first ONE MINUTE SCENE SERIES. This series is a creative format that the
students develop based on a basic idea and presented in one minute
increments to the audience. Featured scenes will portray "Star Wars", "Taxi
Rides", Top 10 Reasons", and a condensed version of "A Christmas Story."
Enjoy this evening of simple, profound wisdom, laughs, time to ponder, to
reevaluate, and to reconsider the universal insights found in ordinary
events. MCHS Cast members are Ed Barrett, Lizzy Carr, Liz Cline, Zachary
Eggering, Maggie Klunk, Chelsea Scaturro, Phillip Schrank, Mallory Stevens,
Brian Tomerlin and Lauren Wetzstein. Supporting cast members from area
elementary schools are Emma Cress, Emma Long, Emma Jones and Sarah Spond.
Technical support by Kyle Burgan and Directed by Sue Mueller. For more
information call 618-463-0580. www.marquettecatholic.com.

Production dates are November 6 and 7
with curtain time at 7pm presented at The Marquette gym, located at 219 East
4th St., Alton. Tickets may be purchased at the door, $6 for adults and $5
for seniors and students.
