Yes, there’s still stuff over on Timetable

Posted on April 4, 2008 | Leave a comment

A quiet week on the site in general but since we all know how much our readers love getting ready for the weekend…

Sam’s post says it’s been up since yesterday, but for some reason it wasn’t showing up. Well it’s there now. His picks luckily includes Saturday’s show at The Bottletree (which we happen to be sponsoring – though Sam didn’t know that yet Smile)

Christina’s “Got Plans?” post is scheduled for an 8:45 a.m. appearance over on our arts and culture blog. Check them both out and don’t forget to comment on them if there’s something we didn’t list. Of course, you could always submit the event for inclusion on our calendar too…

Don’t forget to come on out and check out Saturday’s show and check in with your favorite hub while you’re there.

Hands on Birmingham is still looking for volunteers to help with this Saturday’s Project Homeless Connect at Boutwell Auditorium.

From their website: “On Saturday, April 5, approximately 500 volunteers, public servants, non-profit agencies, faith-based organizations and citizens will assemble under one roof to help people who are homeless in our community through Project Homeless Connect. This innovative one-day event is about breaking the cycle of homelessness, increasing access to services and ending chronic homelessness in Central Alabama. … Be a part of Birmingham’s solution to homelessness.”

People attending the event from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. will be offered a variety of services from help with housing and employment to pet care and haircuts.

Workers remove old cobblestones along Powell Avenue in preparations for the construction of the Railroad Reservation Park. The park is scheduled to take about a year to complete. The stones will be stored and used in the park. The park is one of three that will be focused on during Thursday afternoon’s annual meeting of the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham being held at B&A Warehouse (directly across the street from the bulldozer activity downtown). There will also be an announcement about the foundation’s latest initiative.

I came across this while looking around the Crestwood North Yahoo Group yesterday…

“… Jana Harris, Ramsay [High School] graduate and a native of Birmingham, will be on Wheel of Fortune tomorrow night, April 1, 2008. I told her all those puzzles we did in class would help her in the real world one day…”

Check it out if you can tonight…
