MayMay 4 , 2025Community Spring Work Party On Abundance Farm
Sunday, May 4th 9:30a to 12:00p
Lets gather to prepare our Farm together and create a more sustainable and resilient community for all. A wide variety of tasks are needed to get our space ready for the growing season, and there will be something to do for all ages. Activities will include weeding, clearing of brush, planting, mulch spreading, sign painting, kids activities, and more. So much more than just labor, it is a *party*. By coming together with music, food, and community, you take part in YOUR ecosystem, YOUR farm. Just as this land collectively belongs to you, you belong to it, and we are calling together everyone now to make their mark and nurture our Farm together. Its a celebration of earth, food, and each other not to be missed! We recommend arriving in sturdy clothes that you can get dirty, and coming equipped with any gloves and gardening tools you might own- there will be something for everyone though so most of all come as you are! -

You are welcome whether or not you have joined the Genealogy Havurah. Bring the names of grandparents or great grandparents, even if unsure of spellings, etc., what you know about where they left from, and when they arrived where they were going, even if you are not sure. This workshop will be helpful to people who haven't begun creating a family tree yet, and to those who want to build on what they already have. The workshop will be led by Nina Sitron, President of the Western Massachusetts Jewish Genealogical Society, our community's genealogy maven. It will be held in the CBI Library from 3:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 11. The meeting is being hosted by Paula Ressler and Nina Sitron, facilitators of the CBI Genealogy Havurah. -
