 Welcome to PICA!
Hello PICA friends!
Thank you to all of you who ordered plants from our annual perennial sale. Your plants are ready for pick up and your PICA rep will be in touch soon to let you know where. Some of you have already picked up your plants and are enjoying time in the garden! It has been great weather for it that's for sure.
Well if you missed the annual PICA plant sale or just realized you need more plants, don't worry, we can help. Pete & Julie Beckford of Rebel Hill Farms will be selling their organice field grown plants on Saturday, June 1 from 9-noon at the Bick Church in Bangor. The Church is on the corner of main and First Streets. Locally and lovingly grown, these field-grown perennials have survived at least one Maine winter so they are the hardiest plants you can buy. So stop by and take home some new plants to liven up your garden! For more information about this sale give us a call at 947-4203 or email us at elleng@pica.ws. A portion of this sale will benefit PICA's ongoing work. ***************************************************************************************** Home of the Dignity For All campaign & Bangor's Sister City Initiative

PICA's Dignity for All Committee continues to work on tools for community economic education. Already in the "tool kit" are five modular powerpoint presentations which, taken together tell the story: Since 1980, global tradewinds and domestic elites have driven our economy into a ditch. This transformation has damaged the vast majority but has greatly profited the very few. Over the same time period, we have been subjected to an anti-government and scape-goating ideology that has been a political product as skillfully, and relentlessly promoted as any other product ever marketed. Here are the links: If anything gets lost in the translation, formatting-wise, please contact us, and we'll try to get you the presentation(s) without glitches.
********************************************************************************************** PICA Auction thanks!
A great big Thank You goes out to the many donors, solicitors, committee members and volunteers who helped make this year's auction another success!! A special thank you to Mark Kelley our auctioneer who knows just the right thing to say to make you realize you really need that item, Brian Dyer Stewart who entertained us with his beautiful music and Dave and Deb Morrill who again this year made sure we had burritos and tamales to keep us going. Doesn't that all sound like fun? For those of you who were there, you know it was, for those of you who were not, we look forward to you joining us next year!!
