Wow! Lots to fit into one week!


Starting on April 1, it’s your ticket to local museums, the Phoenix Zoo, and other must-do attractions (like Desert Botanical Gardens and The Arizona Science Center) FREE. FOR SEVEN DAYS. FOR FOUR PEOPLE.

Here’s how it works - you pick up a Culture Pass at your local library anywhere in Greater Phoenix (that means it includes Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Tempe, Mesa). The pass is good for seven days, for four people. Some of the places it gets you in: Arizona Museum of Natural History, Arizona Science Center, Children’s Museum of Phoenix, Heard Museum,Phoenix Art Museum and more are all covered by the pass.

There is no catch. Economic times are hard and everyone is looking for something to do that’s free and entertaining. So a bunch of sponsors got together and decided to influence the community with arts and activity.

To see a full listing of FREE attractions, as well as more details, visit: http://www.theculturepass.org/. And be sure to tell your friends - there are enough passes to go around!

Anyone need a job?

I got an email from a friend in high school and she wanted me to spread the word...

My brother's fiancee lives in Gilbert and manages a Shade clothing store. She just got the job, but had to start hiring for her store from scratch, so she needs a couple more people to work there. She said she still has a lot of different schedule options available. It doesn't pay great (like up to 9 an hour), but it would be a good part-time job for someone who just wanted/needed an entry level job to bring in extra money. Her main concern is just that the people she hires are mature and reliable. I think she could even work with 2 stay at home moms who wanted to tag-team babysitting and split a full-time position. Like I said, she just wants people who would be dependable. And, it would help if they're down with Shade and what people need it for:) So, I figure I'd help her w/ all my lds connections there.

It's at the Chandler Fashion Mall.

Emily's work email is emerrithew@shadeclothing.com. They can contact her that way, or call the store at (480) 899-1779. She for sure needs someone on Saturday at least 3 or 4 hours, more if you want. And, possibly a few closes. Still needs day help. Lots of help, basically right now.

P.S. I think someone could get all the hours they wanted right now, or pretty much name their schedule, if they were willing to work some closes and at least 4 hours on Saturday. I wasn't very clear in the last message. Part or full time.
