Food drive?

[volantwish]

Does anyone know of any local food drives happening this week? Failing that, would anyone be willing to let me drop a bag of food with them for some future drive? I'm leaving town in a couple days, and I have a lot of food I would hate to see go to waste.

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks, all! I'm going to go with the donation bin at Tags, since that will be easiest for me to get to on foot.

Now taking clients for Rubenfeld Synergy Internship

[dietrich.livejournal.com]

Hello, all,

Some time ago, my friend and colleague mattlistener and I posted about needing practice clients for the Rubenfeld Synergy Method, a bodywork modality involving both talk and touch, in which we are both working toward certification. Thanks in part to some of you, we're now a lot closer to that goal, and are both in our internship phase.

Our skills have grown and expanded, and we are now seeing clients for pay, at internship rates. I am seeing clients for $65/session, and would also like to offer packages of 5 sessions for $200.

Your body holds the story of your entire life. The Rubenfeld Synergy Method is a gentle yet powerful system for drawing out and coming to understand that story. Through gentle touch and open inquiry, we help you expand your bodily awareness, get in touch with hidden emotions, and achieve greater freedom of movement in your body and in your life.

Message me here for more details! And thanks.

Yard cleanup

[ringrose.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine is looking for a reasonably-priced (or better yet "cheap") company to hire for a yard cleanup.

We're talking about a yard with leaves, branches, brush, etc which needs to be cleared out.  The stuff you get if your landlord fails to do anything to the yard for a long time.  The work is on the order of two men and a truck, not heavy equipment.

If you've a company you have worked with for similar problems, I'd love a recommendation.

Plug for a Summer 'Animal Rights' course

Hi all,

I hope this doesn't verge on inappropriate proselytizing...

I'm an adjunct prof. at UMass Lowell who lives between Davis and Porter, and I'm trying to fund more students for my Summer Animal Rights and Animal Welfare class up in Lowell. The course runs M-Th 12:30-2:30 from July 11 through mid-August, and I need 2 or 3 students or the registrar will cancel it. (A common problem for in-person Summer courses--most of my courses during the academic year have too many, not too few, students!) If anyone knows anyone living within commuting distance of Lowell who would be interested, I'd love it if you could get in touch. Basically, I just want to have a job this Summer.

I'm also going to be teaching a similar course at the Tufts Excollege next semester running Thursday nights, if any Tufts students or other locals are interested. See some links below for the course info, syllabi, and a link to my blog, to see if you're interested in the kinds of things I research.
