If left unchecked, Garlic Mustard can soon dominate the forest floor and destroy the ecology of our woodlands in the Park District.
The dates listed are for garlic mustard pulls at the parks. Call to sign up. You will be called with details about each work session.

Over the Tavern by Tom Dudzick.
In that most idealized period of 20th century America, the Eisenhower years of the 50's, the Pazinski family has a lot going on in their cramped Buffalo apartment. The youngest of the bunch, 12-year-old Rudy, is a smart, wise-cracking kid who's starting to question family values and the Roman Catholic Church. Rudy goes up against the ruler-wielding Sister Clarissa and announces that instead of being confirmed, he'd rather shop around for a more "fun" religion. A warm and hilarious look at family, growing up and God.
