SAVE THE DATE – It turns out that you can (and should!) celebrate Earth Day WHENEVER YOU WANT! So this year we’re doing it in…October!!!
While we’re still currently savoring the BEAUTY of late summer…we wanted to get this date on your calendar ASAP, since this year we’re having a whole PALOOZA to celebrate our dear Earth 
The event will include, as always, tons of different activities for adults & kiddos, our signature open mic performances, and an art project the whole community can enjoy.
And did we mention the PALOOZA!? That’s our theme this year: Pumpkin Palooza 
as the lifecycle of a pumpkin fits perfectly into our community garden & compost education…PLUS PUMPKIN CARVING! Much more information to come, but we hope you’ll join us for one of our biggest and best community events of the year!
SoWe Fall Earth Day CelebrationSaturday, October 4th from 11am-3pm285 Conestoga St (Behind Culliton Park)
Take a look at all the events we have coming up this year!
If the event doesn’t have a date and time yet – stay tuned on our website and social media for more information. There’s lots to look forward to right here in the neighborhood!
 Coming this Fall – in partnership with Saint Joseph’s Catholic Club, SoWe will be hosting a 6-week Youth Bowling Club right here in the neighborhood (meaning no transportation needed). During these 6 weeks, up to 20 middle school kids will learn how to bowl* and how to keep score! Additionally, pizza will be provided during each session! However, before we open sign-ups for this wonderful, FREE, local sporting opportunity – we first need to find our volunteer leads (to ideally help all 6 weeks). We are looking for: · 2 Duckpin Bowling Instructors · 2 Duckpin Scoring Instructors · 4 Pin Reset-ers (these volunteers would need to get up and down staged platforms – as these pins do not automatically reset. Job best for teens/young adults. See second picture for reference)  This Club will happen this October through the beginning of November 2024. And depending on the volunteers – will happen on Saturdays (10AM – 12PM) OR Thursdays evenings (6-8PM). Please Note: You do not need to have prior Duckpin Bowling experience to be one of our instructors. However, we would cherish if one of our instructors was a past Cabbage Hill “roller.” If you are interested in any of the above volunteer roles – please email Jacquie at Jacquie@WeAreTenfold.org. Also, if you played in one of Cabbage Hill Leagues growing up, please also email Jacquie as we’d love to hear and re-retell some of your stories and/or have you as a consultant for our bowling instructors. *The Bowling Alley at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Club is for Duckpin Bowling. Duckpin bowling is a variation of standard 10-pin bowling with smaller and lighter bowling balls and shorter pins. This kind of bowling is rare (there are only about 50 active duckpin bowling alleys in the country) and a beloved part of our SoWe neighborhood’s history (in the past, leagues used to play in the Saint Joseph’s Club bowling alley 6 days a week). |
Mark your calendars for this year’s block party! Volunteers are need. You can sign up here.
