Friends of FireMountain Art Show-Sale Raises Over $500 for SNAP!

Thanks to all the artists, volunteers, and patrons who attended the 2009 Friends of FireMountain Art Show and Sale this past weekend.

With some amazing art, jewelry, scarves, and other crafty items on hand, the dollars raised for the Spay and Neuter Action Program (SNAP) totalled over $500.

SNAP is San Diego’s Spay/Neuter Action Project, providing low cost spay/neuter clinics and animal welfare education to the underserved multicultural, low-income communities of the county. (We are at Joe Balderama Park in Eastside, Oceanside, twice a month.) SNAP’s goal is to reduce the number of homeless animals who end up in shelters.

If you missed your chance to help out, the Greener Christmas Store will be on site at the Seaside Bazaar in Encinitas on November 21st. The Greener Christmas Store is the brainchild of local artist Kris Nelson and utilizes recycled materials to create holiday ornaments, decorations, and some wonderful holiday gifts- and all of the proceeds benefit SNAP.

Friends of Fire Mountain Night Out – August 4th

August 4 is the 26th annual National Night Out. This program is intended to pair neighborhoods with the local constables so everyone can get to know one another and help reduce crime.  We are very fortunate to have such a low crime rate in our neighborhood FireMtnPics 018

So, rather than having an evening with the police, let’s have an evening with each other!  Please come join your neighbors in the cul-de-sac at the northern corner of Avocado and Dunstan on August 4th from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.  It will be very informal, and a great opportunity to meet those new neighbors or bond with old ones.  Name tags will be provided.  Here are some suggestions:

•    Bring the kids
•    Bring some snacks to share
•    Bring a folding chair or a beach chair to sit a spell
•    Leave your porch light on
•    Share this invitation with your neighbors.

We’ll have a few tables to put food on.  We’ll also have a collection for the food bank, so bring a can or box of food if you would like to donate.

We hope you can make this casual, impromptu event.  See you there!
