Bay Area Artificial Turf & Construction

Is this you in the photo squirting away Bay Area water for fun?

Please see the picture attached. Is this you? Is it? Jetting good
water away over a sod lawn daily, using pesticides, starting up your
mower on Sundays, depleting our fossil fuel reserves, polluting the
atmosphere, all to start the process again the week after next.

You can avoid this loss. Get off the sod treadmill. Move out of the
grass rat race with synthetic turf over a select area you designate.
With the right mix, yard areas can be eco-friendly, responsible and
drop dead gorgeous! Email perry.gregg@post.harvard.edu or call me
(510) 684-4152 for help. Our installers are friendly, warm and the
best in the country. The crew lead is on the STC Turf Safety Council
for playgrounds. Ask me about the 10,000 sq. foot playground we just
completed in Cupertino! Fall zone ratings, run off and content lead
tests our products passed with flying colors. Best,

P.S. I too love the smell of fresh cut lawn. I started asking myself
one day what is the embodied energy cost of inhaling over that grass
patch multiplied by all of us? What are the non-organic elements in
the air when we take that sniff?

Ms. Conna Craig WOMAN, Inc. Board President! -- Wake Up Call event Nov. 6th

You are invited to an hour of inspiration and celebration. This is
the first Wake Up Call for our new Board President. Harvard magna cum
laude, Conna Craig returns home to Northern California. Ms. Craig was
formerly the Director and President of the Institute for Children.
Ms. Craig brought to the Institute effective and humane approaches to
substitute care. For 15 years she advised governors, other policy
makers and opinion leaders on practical steps to take to restructure
foster care and adoption and help tens of thousands of children find
permanent families.

The Nov. 6th Wake Up Call 2008 is a fundraising breakfast celebrating
the 30th Anniversary of WOMAN, Inc. "WOMAN" stands for Women Organized
to Make Abuse Nonexistent. This domestic violence crisis agency has
served the needs of women and children survivors in the Bay Area since
1978.

Last year WOMAN, Inc.'s 24/7 domestic violence crisis line handled
more than 17,000 calls -- each call from an individual who needed
support, counsel, and someone to "hear" her. Our 40 state-certified
advocates took the calls, serving women from across the Bay Area, from
all different demographics. WOMAN, Inc. also provided over 600 hours
of individual therapy, along with peer support groups, education and
outreach and a host of other services. WOMAN, Inc. is a lifeline for
domestic violence survivors.
