 > Hi Noelle,
 > 
 > I received a postcard invitation today that I thought you might be 
 > interested in . It is regarding visiting Northern Ca's Best Private 
 > Garderns through the Garden Conservancy whereby volunteers (if you wish to 
 > volunteer) receive free admission to these open days gardens. To volunteer 
 > you would help greet visitors at many of these gardens. If interested, 
 > contact: http://www.gardenconservancy.org/~info. Otherwise admission is $5.00 per garden 
 > which you can order by phoning: 1-888-842-2442 or by website: 
 > opendaysprogram.org. The gardens are open from 10 AM to 4 PM. See website 
 > for description of gardens and driving directions. The events are: San 
 > Francisco's East Bay on Sat. May 11:five gardens in Albany, , 
 > Oakland, and El Cerrito; San Francisco Peninsula on Sat. 5/18: four gardens 
 > in Atherton, Los Altos, and Palo Alto; Contra Costa County on Sat. 7/20: 
 > five gardens in Lafayette and Orinda; and San Francisco's East Bay on Sun. 
 > 7/21: three gardens in  & Oakland. Since you enjoyed doing your 
 > garden in your front yard, I thought you might be interested in attending 
 > one or more of these events.

 > I had 2 job interviews recently for the same co. where I really liked the 
 > company and alll the people I met and the fact that it was only 5 min. from 
 > my house. At the end of the 2nd interview when talking to the Pres., it 
 > turned out that the 2 job openings were actually more for Bookkeeping Clerks 
 >  with no chance for promotion, so the Pres. didn't recommend them for 
 > someone like myself with my skills and experience. I appreciated his honesty 
 > and withdrew my candidacy. The word Clerk had never been mentioned in the 
 > job description, ad, nor in the other interviews with the Manager of 
 > Accounting and Human Resources or with the CFO. So I'm back to job hunting 
 > again but heard from that Pres. who has many customers in this area saying 
 > that local companies are growing as well as the job market opening up, so we'
 > ll see. Anyway it's definitely all good practice and in the meantime I'm 
 > keeping busy besides job hunting with all my volunteer jobs and 
 > organizations I belong to such as being Treasurer on the Board of Directors 
 > of the SB & Tri-Counties Chap. of the United Nations Association where I 
 > have been involved with their Strategic Planning, etc.
 > 
 > Let us know if you hear before we do the dates when the LeCointes are coming 
 > so we will know when we need to be here to tour them around. 
 > 
 > Best Wishes with you job hunt also.
