October 18th in Altadena

Big doings in Altadena this weekend! What to do, what to do? Here are a couple of things not to miss. I'd say go to the rally first, then head off to Eliot School because:

Altadenish must vote Yes on Measure A November 4th—that is, if the Altadena Libraries are to survive. This Saturday there will be a rally at 9am. The rally will last about 20 minutes and from there volunteers are encouraged to go door-to-door in the neighborhoods around the Branch. I wish I had this on my ballot, but Pasadenamanians do not get to vote on this one.

An equally worthy cause needs your attention on the same day!
Pasadena Rotary's "Done In A Day" Move-In for Room 13 at Eliot School begins at 9am Saturday, too. Room 13 has outgrown its original studio and is moving to the south side of the campus. Enter the parking loto on Boston Street and lend a hand.

Eliot School's first Room 13

Volunteers are needed:

For cleaning, we need help sweeping and mopping floors, washing windows, (there is one wall which is basically all windows), and everything needs a good wipe-down. 

For building, we need people with carpentry skills to help build shelving and tables. Also to paint the furniture, gesso canvases, put up organizers and wall hooks, curtains.  

For sorting and setting up, we need lots of help organizing supplies into their various centers (painting, drawing, clay, fiber, printmaking, library, photo and digital arts), and furniture put into place. 

Not handy? How about some in-kind donations?
Room 13 needs fabrics, digital cameras, clay, paint, sketchbooks, beads, sewing machines, t-squares, turpentine, canvases new or used, oils, watercolors, acrylics, dressmaker forms, pins and needles, yarn, thread—anything you can make art with.
