3. This week at the URBAN GARDEN MARKET
well-known local musician will provide entertainment at the Urban
Garden Market this Saturday. Helen Hibbs is a former Clay Middle School
teacher and musical director of "The Company." Currently Ms. Hibbs is
teaching at IUSB. She will perform a variety of musical styles on the
keyboard at the Urban Garden Market this Saturday, providing market
goers with a real treat as they select their fresh, locally-grown
produce. This week at the market there will also be an amazing
selection of colorful gourds, Indian corn, pumpkins, broom grass — all
for making fall decorations. All of this along with homemade bread,
cookies and, of course, fresh beignets. The Urban Garden Market will be
open only three more Saturdays this season. If you've not been to the
market yet, this Saturday will be a good day to come.

Indiana NAACP Youth & College Division will be conducting three (3)
voter registration drives in the South Bend community on September 18,
2010. From 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm there will be voter registration drives
at the Olivet A.M.E. Church and St. Joseph Public Library-LaSalle
Branch. The voter registration drive at the Natatorium will be from 12
noon to 1:30pm. We invite members of the community to become a
registered voter. This is also an opportunity to gain a better
understanding of the NAACP and how critical it is to exercise your right
to vote. The event will be hosted by several youth councils, including
those from Anderson and Terre Haute, as well as college chapters from
Indiana University, Ball State University, Indiana State University, and
the University of Notre Dame.
The League of Women Voters of the South Bend Area is pleased to cosponsor the following candidate debates.
Mark your calendars and bring your friends and neighbors. Become an informed voter!
