Happy Father’s Day!
June 19, 2011
Wanted to take a moment to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Click here to read our online color version of our May/June 2011 Chit Chat newsletter. I wrote an article about our dad on the front page of the Chit Chat. Tara and I were fortunate to have a wonderful father who cared about us while growing up, and still does!
Tara and I (and Brooklynn too), spent the day with our dad today, in celebration of Father’s Day, in Temecula. We took him to a gluten-free pizza restaurant on Winchester Road, and had a grand time. Brooklynn was well-behaved as usual, and ate vanilla soy ice cream and a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. The weather was perfect, the company was even better, and the food was the icing on the cake!
Happy Father’s Day to all!
Happy Flag Day
June 14, 2011
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States of America!
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.
The week of June 14 is designated as “National Flag Week.” During National Flag Week, the president will issue a proclamation urging U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week. The flag should also be displayed on all government buildings. Some organizations hold parades and events in celebration of America’s national flag and everything it represents.

June 10, 2011
The Wood Streets Green Team is holding a Recycling Workshop on reducing, reusing, and recycling household waste on Sunday, June 12, from 3 pm to 5 pm. The workshop will be held at theHabitat for Humanity ReStore located at 2180 Iowa Avenue in Riverside.
All attendees are encouraged to bring any household items to the meeting to drop off as a donation to the ReStore. These will be qualified for tax purposes and receipts will be available.
The purpose of the workshop is to engage and educate the Riverside community on the practices and benefits of recycling. The workshop will focus on how recycling can be beneficial for the community and the environment. Recycling resources available to Riverside residents will be discussed.
Some of the questions answered during the workshop are:
- Why should I recycle? What does it do? What are the benefits? Is it worth the trouble?
- What happens to my stuff after I toss it in the blue bin?
- What can I toss into the blue bin? What can be recycled?
- I’ve heard recycling can actually be harmful to the environment. Is that true, and why?
- What about other waste — paint, construction material, cardboard, batteries, computers, e-waste?
- What about household goods?
- What’s the idea behind Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle?
- How successful is Riverside in its recycling efforts?
