[SustainableTompkins] Check out Sustainable Tompkins' Alternative Gift Fair options

[Marian Brown]

Hey, there. I hope you've all marked your calendar and are planning to 
attend the Alternative Gift Fair some time this coming Saturday, Dec. 1, 
between 10am and 4pm downstairs in the 1st Presbyterian Church in 
Ithaca. Sustainable Tompkins has been very lucky the past three years to 
be one of the organizations selected to be part of this terrific annual 
fundraising event sponsored by CRESP - The Center for Transformative 
Action.  http://www.ithacaaltgiftfair.org/

This year, we're offering the following "feel good" gifts of sustainable 
support for our community:
*
$5.00 SewGreen scholarship* for a young person to attend a basic sewing 
class to learn beginning skills and discover how to re-fashion garments.

*$10.00 Community garden materials* to support the creation of raised 
vegetable and flower gardens within urban neighborhoods.

*$20.00 Worm composting kit* or other sustainability educational 
materials for a school classroom, to be used by Teachers for a 
Sustainable Future.

*$25.00 Energy Efficiency Pack* containing weatherization materials and 
supplies for Energy Efficiency Community Outreach (EECO) home energy 
circles.

*Unrestricted gift* of any amount for general support for Sustainable 
Tompkins programming and operations.

Come see us at Table #6 at the Fair on Saturday and shop until you drop! 
Thanks in advance for your support, if not for Sustainable Tompkins, 
then for one of the other worthy organizations.
