Fruit Tree Give Away & Volunteer Day

When: Saturday February 2, 2008 10 am – 2 pm
Where: CSU Urban Mini Farm at EXPO
The farm is located on the corner of MLK & Menlo next to the Senior Center. The gate to enter the farm is about 100 feet from the corner.

In partnership with Tree People CSU is helping to distribute more than 100 fruit trees to community residents to plant in their yards and neighborhoods. Along with the tree give away we’ll also be having a volunteer day. Come spend some time w/ CSU and dig into the garden while you learn to plant and care for your own tree.

February Food Party Fundraiser – THEME: The Punjabi Dhaba

When: Friday February 1, 2008 6 – 10 pm
Where: Near Slauson and Normandie, Address & Directions will be sent to those who RSVP
How Much: $20.00 (home cooked, beyond organic & served with love!)
RSVP: Neelam@csuinc.org or call 323 296-2038. Space is limited!

IN 2008 CSU will be hosting a (mostly) monthly food party as a means of bringing together cool people and great food and also raising some needed resources for our work. Each food party will have a different theme that will be reflected in the food and music (and clothes for the willing). You don’t have to stay the whole evening, in fact the evening is planned so folks on their way elsewhere can stop, eat, chat and move on. The number of attendees will be limited for each event and it will be strictly pay in advance. So come and help get it kick started with, what else? The PUNJABI DHABA.
Featuring the finest food from my home home state in India, cooked to mouth watering perfection just for you! A detailed menu will be sent to those that RSVP, but you can be sure to get home cooked gourmet food, featuring locally grown and beyond organic produce, at an incredible price of $20.00 Spaces are limited, so RSVP soon to neelam@csuinc.org or call 323 296-2038. Send your donation ($20 minimum) payable to CSU to 1467 W. 49th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90062.
