|||||||||||||||
| Hope for the Holidays! you shop-we give! Let's be honest: sometimes the holidays can seem overwhelming. There's pressure to create the best meal, host a great party, give the right gift, and above all, make the season memorable. This time of year encourages the altruist in all of us, but finding time to give back to our community can be tricky. The beauty of Weaver Street Market's annual Hope For the Holiday promotion lies in its simplicity: you shop, we give. Each year Weaver Street Market works with local charities to raise money throughout the month of December. When you purchase any of our designated Hope For the Holidays products, we donate to several worthy causes. More |

| Hope for the Holidays |
 Weaver Street Market has chosen the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service as one of four groups to benefit from Hope for the Holidays "The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service meets basic needs and helps individuals and families achieve their goals. We provide emergency shelter, food, direct services, advocacy and information to people in need. We accomplish this through strong partnerships with volunteers, staff and those we serve. We rely on the active involvement of caring individuals, congregations and other community organizations." The IFC needs everyone's help to collect available food resources from individuals, congregations and businesses to feed 1,599 households in the Food Pantry and serve three meals every day at the Community Kitchen. More than 600 volunteers, friends and businesses accomplish this by providing on-going services, volunteer hours, skills, food donations and care for those who utilize Community Kitchen and Food Pantry programs. |

| The True Story of St. Nick |
 St. Nicholas Speaks!Saturday, December 6, 5:00 pm Weaver Street Market in Hillsborough It's a story of calling and destiny, plague and persecution, and ultimately hope, kindness, and triumph. Orphan, saint, immortal... Few know the story behind the age-old legend of Sinterklaas (Dutch for Saint Nicholas), who we in America now recognize as Santa Claus. He is for people of all ages, and really, not just those who celebrate Christmas. At 5 PM, following the Hillsborough Christmas Parade (December 6, 2008), St. Nicholas Speaks! will be presented at the Weaver Street Market in downtown Hillsborough. For more information, please contact Rivertown Presbyterian Church at 919.245.1463 or www.rivertownarp.org. |

 Working in the Congo for Doctors without BordersTalk by Anna Freeman Sunday December 7, 2008 at CHICLE, 5:00 pm Free and open to the public Anna Freeman recently spent six months working with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Rutshuru, a town in the North Kivu provence of Eastern DRC. The MSF mission was to run a large hospital with a surgical program, a cholera treatment center, and a mobile clinic to serve the population in Rutshuru and the surrounding towns. The people that they served were often victims of violence, sexual violence, preventable diseases, and had been displaced because of fighting in their villages. Freeman will talk about her experience working with an international NGO, working and living in the Congo, learning about and treating the diseases and injuries seen in a third world country in the middle of war, working in a francophone country, and how this all has affected her as she return to the US. Anna will show slides from her work and stay, as well as information about the work of this organization. 101 E Weaver St., 3rd floor, Suite G-1, Carrboro, NC 27510 Ph. 919/933-0398, Fx. 919/933-1142, email. |

| Help buy a Tractor! | |||
 PLANT@Breeze FarmThe Next Generation of Farmers - People Learning Agriculture Now for Tomorrow Needs a tractor! PLANT@Breeze Farm is an incubator program aimed at developing new farmers. Classes for new farmers run in January and February, teaching students sustainable farming while also building a business plan and a crop plan. Graduating students can implement their plans on land provided for by Breeze or on their own land. This program is a crucial step in creating a sustainable agricultural chain from the current generation of farmers to the next generation. Col. William H. Breeze and his family donated the Breeze Farm property located in Northern Orange County, to NC State's College of Agriculture and Life sciences. A team of experts from the Orange County Cooperative Extension, the Orange County Economic Development Commission, the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, NC State University, NC A&T University, University Field Laboratories and the Agricultural Research Service designed and implemented the program earlier this year. With a number of local farmers expected to retire, it is very important to have a program like PLANT@Breeze helping a new generation learn the skills necessary to sustain our local food system. Local food production is a way of ensuring community self-reliance. Right now, the PLANT@Breeze program desperately needs a tractor. Can you help Weaver Street Market raise $5,000 by January 1 to help buy a tractor for the next generation of farmers? Tractors are used year round for soil prep, soil tillage, mulch application, seeding of cover crops, disking, bush hogging, drilling post holes and more.The Tractor Fund will be a part of our Hope for the Holidays fundraising where part of your purchase of selected Hope for the Holiday items goes toward the purchase of the tractor. Most of the Hope for the Holiday items will go on sale on December 3, however Peacestachios and African Market Baskets are on sale now. |
