• Sunday, April 28: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., The big event this spring will be the Truckee Meadows Earth w88 slot celebration at Mayberry Park. This has been organized and arranged in less than two months by an amazing group of volunteers and is going to be a beautiful celebration of the Earth and the systems that support it. Mayberry Park winds along the Truckee River and the river will serve as a backdrop and focus for the event. The river is a major source of water for the area - water that sustains all life. Celebrating the river and all the life that this amazing planet supports helped focus the organizers on a more focused theme of "Protect our Pollinators." This theme respects the fact that honey bees and insect pollinators are on the decline which is a huge problem for our food supply and ecosystems. Individuals can be a big help with their landscape and gardens. This event will be family friendly and is a zero alcohol event. It is focused on education and awareness. There will be food available for purchase from food trucks at the event but generally, this is a very non-commercial event. We are encouraging biking by having a bike valet to park your bike and if you ride your bike, you get a raffle ticket for some great prizes. We are also thinking beyond recycling by asking people to bring reusable items like plates, utensils, napkins and water bottles. For every reusable item, you will also get a raffle ticket in addition to the great feeling that comes from simply doing something good.

So, please join us and enjoy live music, delicious food, cultural performances, bird walks with Tom Stille of River School Farm, pollinator planting and education, a kid's fun zone, live screen printing from Laika Press, morning yoga led by Zach Cannady, sound healing, arborist-led tree walks, ecological demonstrations, drum circles and plenty of hands-on learning of ways we can better steward w88 slot fascinating planet.

I hope you can make to some or all of these wonderful events.
