submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

WHEN: SATURDAY, September 27, 11 AM to 4 PM
WHERE: Cedar Field Park, 2500 Cedar Avenue, MPLS

The Harvest Moon Community Solutions Festival is a celebration of community victories, voices and solutions, including our steadfast determination to make collective stewardship of the Roof Depot site a reality.

This September 27th, we invite you to come see community solutions in motion and learn about the upcoming renovation of the Roof Depot warehouse, as we continue building toward the long-fostered East Phillips Urban Farm vision.

All are welcome to this free event, put on by and for the community. There will be food, presentations, live art and performances, youth-led journalism, activities, education and resources for kids and adults.

This event is hosted by East Phillips Neighborhood Institute (EPNI), in collaboration with Little Earth Protectors, Kalpulli KetzalCoatlicue (Danza Ketzal), Strong Mind Strong Body Foundation’s Community Journalism Program, Cooperative Energy Futures, KRSM Radio, and other local partners.

Disabled Student Looking for a PCA

submitted by dipaolaz@augsburg.edu

Hi, my name is Zander. I am a Senior, and I am disabled and in a wheelchair. I am looking for a backup PCA to help out when my regular PCA can’t. You do not need to be trained to be a PCA, as I will provide all of the training you will need, as it is not that technical of a job. My PCA comes to my dorm every day to help me with certain tasks that I cannot complete in a timely manner.. You would come when my main PCA needs a day off or can’t make it that day for different reasons, and help me with the tasks that they would usually help me with on that day. Some of the tasks you would do daily are refilling water bottles, refilling humidifiers, and making a bed. Expect this to take 15 or 30 minutes out of your day. Then, on top of that, I also require assistance with bathing once a week. Expect that to take an hour once a week. This job comes with very flexible hours. I will tell you what day I would need you, and you would pick a time on that day that you would come. There is no set required time that you have to come each day. The rate for this job will be $13 an hour; however, you are usually not there longer than an hour, so it usually turns out to $13 per day. If you are interested in helping me out and scheduling an interview, contact me at (612)430-3233 or at dipaolaz@augsburg.edu.
