Teele Sq: building with fire to be torn down

[cos]

That Teele Square fire this weekend will result in demolition of the building:

It soon spread to three other businesses: Nail Image salon, Kee Kar Lau Chinese restaurant, and Maria's Italian Cold Cuts. No one was hurt in the fire, but the single-story strip mall will have to be torn down, city spokeswoman Jacqueline Rossetti said.

I'm hosting a networking event for nonprofit folks on November 15th

Hi all,
I recently started Tugboat 23 Consulting, which helps grassroots nonprofits with fundraising and specifically with special events. I run events from start to finish, or I handle the dirty work tasks that no one wants to do, such as silent auctions, volunteer recruitment/management, or day-of-event coordination. No task is too small – if you are running an event and need help, please contact me.

Since I enjoy getting people together, I decided it would make sense to host a networking night for my fellow non-profit colleagues. Hope you can make it!


***Nonprofit Networking Night w/ Tugboat 23***
Tuesday, November 15th, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
Orleans Restaurant
Davis Square Somerville

•Are you a non-profit professional or are you interested in meeting people in the industry?
•Do you work in a smaller organization and want to network (or just share stories) with your colleagues?

Please join Tugboat 23 at a networking event geared towards employees or volunteers at smaller nonprofits. Free hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar, and some door prizes to keep things fun. 100% of your $5 suggested donation will go to Massachusetts Farmers Markets. (www.massfarmersmarkets.org)

Waiting for the 89 that never came

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

When I got to the Davis Square T this past Saturday, I waited awhile for the 89 that was supposed to come at 5:08pm because it lets me off close to where I live, rather than having to walk 15 minutes during the snow storm had I taken the 88. It never came. I called someone nearing 6pm to ask if they could look up with the Next Bus application when the 89 would actually arrive, which turned out to be at 6:08pm. The 89 bus scheduled to arrive at 5:08 on this snowy day wasn't late--it just never came.

( How I responded...anyone else have any luck complaining? )
