Good evening, to any of those who are awake! I live behind the old Green Tomato space and there's a loud alarm going off but am not sure where it is coming from! Is there a number I can call, or should I just call the police? I'm not sure what kind of alarm it is...

Kitty Still Missing

[thegecko.livejournal.com]

Our kitty, Toro, is still missing.  I'm re-posting with some additional details and reward info. 

Toro is a big, black, male cat with giant double paws. He is VERY friendly and loves treats and being petted. He was wearing an orange collar before he wandered off.

Donation Request! Beads, Earring making Supplies, and Food!

[no-fun-nicole.livejournal.com]

Hi Everyone, I thought I'd see if anyone had any earring making supplies they can spare. Beads especially. Or any restaurant connections that might help us get some finger food for a fundraiser this sunday. We're getting pretty desperate. We've called around to those that usually help us out and no luck this year.

We're holding a fundraiser to support services for Romanian children with special needs, in foster care, and families in need. Economic circumstances have resulted in a drop in donations all around and at the same time a rise in abandoned babies and children with special needs. We put together fundraisers every year that involve crafting classes with whatever made sold to support the kids. We haven't gotten any supply donations this year from craft stores and the event is Sunday! I'm pretty desperate so I thought I'd see if any kind person out there had some beads or food they could donate. All beads are appreciated and we're not picky about food!

Oh! And all donations are tax deductible since its supporting a 501c3! So keep that in mind!

If you're willing to donate please send me an email at Just_Me@notsointeresting.com (or leave a comment here) and I'll send you all the info, the forms so you can see we're legit, and set up meeting times. The event is This sunday on Boston College campus. If you're interested in attending please contact me and I'll send you the invitation! (don't want to publicly post quite yet in case we don't have enough supplies). Romanian Children's Relief (http://www.rcr.org)

Thanks sooooo much in advance!!

Possible DS brunch meetup in October

[anomie666.livejournal.com]

To mix things up a bit and have a meetup more conducive to conversation, I'd like to have an additional brunch meetup for the community. The brunch spot would be Johnny D's and it would be on a Saturday since the wait on Sunday can be very long (especially if we are a larger group). It would likely occur on Saturday the 24th.

If this is something you'd like to do, please vote. I'll keep you updated on this as the time gets closer.

2nd Urban Barn Dance is Oct 16; now at Kendall Square!!

[obie119.livejournal.com]

xposted with b0st0n; of special interest since we were in Davis Sq last year and it was fun.

As a Mass Farmers Market board member, I'd like to tell you that:
TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE for the 2nd Annual Urban Barn Dance!

The 2nd Annual Urban Barn Dance and Harvest Supper will be held on Friday, October 16th from 6:30 -- 9:30 pm at the Dante Alighieri Center in Kendall Square, Cambridge! Tickets are $50, and include a seasonal feast plus dancing. To purchase, e-mail martha at massfarmersmarkets.org or call (781) 893-8222.

Last year's event at the Dilboy VFW in Davis Square was such a success that we have enlarged the venue -- there will be room for over 150 guests to enjoy Bob Sargent's seasonal cooking and to kick up their heels to contras called by David Titus and music by Sean Smith and Friends.

Plenty of validated parking available at the Kendall Square Theater just around the corner!

Just a note: last year's event was amazing! The food (which has *plenty* of vegetarian choices) was like Thanksgiving dinner cooked by God - heck, I even ate the Brussels Sprouts and I am not that kind of girl!, and the music got all sorts of people up and dancing who self-described as "not having a square-dancing gene" - and it's a great cause!

Proposed Summer St Development

Last night there was a meeting at the Dilboy Post where a developer presented their plans for two new structures on Summer Street next to the Dilboy Post / Winter Hill Bank building. Details after the cut....
