Lifetime memberships to Urban Roots
Dear Friends of Urban Roots, our dreams are about to become reality! We're planning to open a retail garden center at 426 Rhode Island Street, (two blocks west of Left Bank) in April. We've modeled ourselves after the Lexington Coop, and have begun selling lifetime memberships to Urban Roots Community Garden Center for $100. This is your chance to get in at the beginning.
Your investment of $100 will give you many benefits including: * Special events offering unusual finds and discounts * First notifications on unique plants & gardening workshops * Voting rights on store policy and board elections * Pride in helping rebuild Buffalo's West Side and in being part of a successful local business
If you'd like to help us out and become one of the first members of the Urban Roots Community Garden Center, please send a $100 check (made out to Urban Roots) to: Urban Roots PO Box 1402 Buffalo, NY 14213. You may download a membership form here.
The first 100 to join will receive a beautiful, exclusive print of "Pear Tree in Spring" created and signed by local artist, Catherine Parker. Consider it an acknowledgement of your commitment to Buffalo.
If you'd like to find out more about helping us finance Urban Roots beyond the membership level, please call Blair Woods (716-882-1923), email Cynnie Gaasch (info@urbanroots.org), or contact a board member directly.
You can find further information about Urban Roots on our website: www.urbanroots.org

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am
