I am a volunteer for AutismWalkNorthland. It’s a local grassroots program, dedicated to raising funds for local schools and their ASD programs. Due to some serious health issues for one of the founders, the walk is dangerously short on silent auction items. Since the silent auction traditionally generates a good portion of the walk’s revenue, this is a scary time for them.

The Walk donates 100 percent of its proceeds to the participating schools every year, and is seeking donations. Pretty much everything is accepted — gift cards, crafts, baskets, etc. If you or anyone you know would be interested in donating, please e-mail info @ autismwalknorthland.org. You can also find AutismWalk Northland on Facebook, or at autismwalknorthland.org.

I am in need of a little help. I need someone to come to my home and let my golden retriever Ivan out on the days my roommate works. It wouldn’t be every day as my roommate works three days a week and I work a 21-days-on and 21-days-off schedule. Will figure out the money. Ivan is a big part of my daughter’s and my life so any dog haters or someone who doesn’t give a shit need not apply. Cheers all.

Congratulations, Catherine Meier, on “Open Richness,” August 3 – September 23, 2012

We need a new minion! Raven & Associates, Inc., a promotional products company (we sell stuff with your name on it) right here in Duluth, is looking for another talented, skilled, and charming individual to be part of our customer service team.  We are a growing company, a great place to work, and very odd.

Here’s the basic info on the job: Full-time customer service.  Hourly wage beginning at +$10 per hour, flexible scheduling, retirement benefits and partial health insurance. Previous experience working in an office environment (you know, with computers), background in art, and interest in outdoors preferred.

For more info, call Dave at 740-2769 or drop me an email at dave @ ravenassociatesinc.com. We are now located in a creepy old theater at 319 N. Central Ave.

This is a really great deal for the right person. I am looking to share my space. I have a prime location in Canal Park. Looking for health and wellness practitioner who is comfortable to share my cozy studio!  If interested, please reply with references and/or questions to yourholisticpath @ gmail.com.

My wedding is coming up soon and at my finance’s request we will be having a sand ceremony, where you pour two different kinds of sand in a jar. I remember seeing black sand on the North Shore, however, my frequent trips up there have blurred my memory on the exact location. I am thinking somewhere near Knife River, but don’t want to pay for the gas to get there and be wrong.

We’re in the middle of moving, and all of the trips up and down the stairs got me thinking about something that actually seems viable. I was imagining the best possible scenario for moving and I came up with the Duluth Moving Consortium, a gigantic group of people that could help each other move. Imaging how quickly and easily you could move your stuff if a group of 100-200 people all came to help. In a perfect world, enough would show up that each person could take one load down the stairs and the work would be done.

Sure, you might draw a bad load and end up with half a couch or mattress, but the next move might be a shoebox of CDs or a trashcan. And if you help, then others come to your aid when you need to move.

I just thought that with all of the moving going on in this town, this sort of cooperative just might have legs.

It’s so crazy, it might work.
