The Living Last Supper provides adults and students a glimpse into the lives that Jesus touched. Learn more about the 12 men who gave up everything to follow Him. They learn and teach His ways, yet one of them will betray Him. Each disciple wonders “Is it I?” as they prepare for what is now known as “The last Supper”. The play, presented with live music and a chorus of 30 people is considered a snapshot of when da Vinci created the painting.
One by one, the 12 apostles share directly with the audience their experience with Jesus, how they were found and the time they spent together, including the moments leading up to his acknowledgment of impending betrayal.

HEROES SOUGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN HEAD-SHAVING EVENT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH
Men, women and children baldly stand in solidarity with the 160,000 kids diagnosed with cancer each year while raising money to fund pediatric cancer research.
Green Bay, WI – The St. Baldrick’s Foundation has issued a lofty challenge to everyone who wants to help raise money for childhood cancer research: Be a hero for kids with cancer by shaving your head in return for pledges of financial support from friends and family.
Participants find that shaving their head in solidarity with the 160,000 children who are diagnosed with cancer each year is a small sacrifice in comparison to what these children endure, and want to raise money to help find a cure for children with cancer now and in the future.
We are proud to present our seventh annual fundraising event for an outstanding organization. The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, now in its tenth year, is a non-profit 501c3 foundation dedicated to raising funds for childrens’ cancer research. Our event will be held locally at St. Brendan’s Inn, 234 S. Washington St., Green Bay, WI on March 13th, 2010. Head-shavings will commence at 3 PM where we hope to exceed last years total of 181 Shavees and over 62,000 dollars raised for childhood cancer research. We will be featuring live music by various local artists, a silent auction and quite possibly the worlds largest hairball.

The Outagamie County Master Gardeners announce their annual Garden Expectations Conference to be held Saturday, March 6, 2010 from 9:00am – 3:30pm at Appleton East High School, 2121 Emmers Drive, Appleton. This year’s theme is “The Nature of Things,” offering practical advice on how to provide an inviting landscape for people and animals alike. Use native plantings to enhance your backyard and help restore a bit of our natural heritage in your corner of the world. Grow that lush lawn you’ve always dreamed of in a more eco-friendly way, and be inspired to sit back and enjoy the lessons along the way. It’s the nature of things!
Keynote presenter, Neil Diboll, Prairie Ecologist with Prairie Nursery in Westfield, WI is recognized internationally as an expert in ecological and natural landscape design and has spent 25 years in research, design, and installation of native plant communities for prairies, wetlands and woodlands. While many consider prairie plants suitable for rural settings, Neil will show how you don’t need acres of land to grow and appreciate native flowers and grasses! Learn to incorporate these beautiful flowers, grasses, trees and shrubs into your landscape no matter how large or small, whether it’s a cottage garden or a formal setting.
Drawing on the characters and gardening wisdom expressed in her novel, Time in a Garden, Appleton native, Mary Agria, will share about how life, like the garden itself, experiences its share of changes and problems that leave us wondering how to cope. The challenges gardeners face every day can teach us a great deal about love and loss and what makes for healthy growth as families and communities.
What would a garden be without the chirping of birds, the buzz of bees or the movement of butterfly wings? It’s these kinds of creatures that bring your garden to life. Tammy Borden, wildlife enthusiast and Master Gardener Volunteer, will help you attract more beneficial wildlife to your urban or rural backyard, and provide tips on how to keep those pesky varmints out.
Kevin Jarek, Outagamie Crops, Soil and Horticulture Agent of the UW Extension, will show how less can be more when it comes to lawn care! Learn how to use a more organic approach and still have a lawn that stands out in the neighborhood as a shin
