Egg Hunt

Thanks so much to those who braved the threatening rain clouds and chilly temps to grab some eggs! Our PPNA bunny was snuggly warm and full of hugs to help keep the kids warm!

Since the weather is not going to cooperate, the egg “hunt” will be an egg give away. Please come to Washington near 67th and Garfield to collect some filled eggs for the kiddies. You can take them home and have your own indoor egg hunt! Join us for this great family event. The PPNA Easter Bunny will be on hand to help kids search for eggs, so make sure to bring your cameras. It’ll be a HOPPIN’ good time! This is a members only event. If you are not a current member, please visit our Membership Page to print a membership form. Mail the form to Jenny Foshag with your payment or bring form and payment along the day of the Egg Hunt.

This will be a rain or shine event. If the weather is not cooperating at 1pm, it will be more of an egg give-away instead of a hunt!

Bag It

Widespread use of single use disposable bags in our culture is a very pervasive problem. In this country, we use and estimated 190,000 disposable bags per second requiring 12 million barrels of oil each year. Most of these bags go into landfills where they can last many hundred years. Why should something that we’re going to use for a few minutes use a material that’s going to last up to 1000 years?

A major concern is environmental impact. Discarded bags clutter our landscape and pollute out waterways. Over 100,000 marine animals and 1 million seabirds die each year from ingesting or getting entangled in long lasting discarded plastic.

To respond to this concern we have developed a program in Wauwatosa called Tosa Bag It. Our first effort will be public education to help people understand the plastic bag problem. We are showing the highly acclaimed movie “Bag It” at the Rosebud Theatre Saturday, April 5 at 10:30 am. This film has been very effective in presenting the plastic bag problem. Come and bring your friends and neighbors.

East Tosa Alliance Special Events Committee

EAST TOSA ALLIANCE SPECIAL EVENTS COMMITTEE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

Do you love your community? Do you want to contribute to the success of your community? The East Tosa Alliance Special Events Committee is looking for people like you to help us start ramping up to our two big events for 2014!

The East Tosa Gran Prix will take place on June 29, 2014. This past summer was our “rookie” year and we rocked it. The Tour of America’s Dairlyland is the largest criterium bike race in the country, and we hosted the 2nd largest day of the 11-day event with nearly 20,000 spectators. On September 13, 2014, we will host our 5th Annual Chili’n on the Avenue. It is Wisconsin’s only nationally sanctioned Chili Competition that draws more than 8,000 people to cook, eat, drink, play and enjoy live, local entertainment. Part of our mission at the East Tosa Alliance is to work together to make East Tosa a great place to live, work and play, and these events contribute greatly to our success.

Getting involved in special events is a great way to help benefit our community and they couldn’t exist without the help of people like you!

Please contact Maya Romboy maya.bilitz@gmail.com for more information.

Windows Into Wauwatosa 2014

Have you ever wanted to go “behind the scenes” in Tosa? The Windows Into Wauwatosa Event will be held this June and you can volunteer to help! I was a greeter at the Briggs & Stratton Museum last year, although I wish I would’ve had the Niemann’s job!
