FREE Christmas Trees
WHILE SUPPLIES LAST
Do you have a Christmas tree yet? Want a beautiful Noble Fir Christmas tree for FREE? There's a lot in Normal Heights giving away free trees. They're gorgeous! This guy and his girlfriend brought 2 truckloads down from Oregon and haven't had any luck selling them. At this point they need to just get rid of them so they don't have to lose more money on disposal fees. So if you want to help out a really nice couple and you need a tree, check out this lot on the corner of El Cajon Blvd. and 39th Street. And if you're really feeling generous, a $5-10 donation would be greatly appreciated. |

Unique Opportunity for San Diego Community Members

Ø Learn how to identify issues that affect the community
Ø Learn how to improve the Community through organizingand creating relationships
Ø Learn how to identify community resources that can help to address community issues
This course is open to eligible Community members who may attend this class and receive college credit. There are limited scholarships available but you must apply. Community members selected for this will receive a scholarship to attend and there will be no fee for this class.
Class will be held on Wednesday evenings, 6:00 - 8:45 P.M.,

To schedule an interview, interested community members should contact: Chris Nayve, Center for Community Service-Learning,

The ideal community leader we are looking for is someone who has had a leadership role for 2-5 years and would benefit from this capacity building course. This course will probably not benefit a long time community leader but would be great for someone newer to community leadership. Again this will be free of charge to these community members. We are looking for 3-4 people from the community. I will send a formal application to those who actually contact me. |
