Caitlin

draws pictures and sells them at the New Harvest Farmer’s Market every Thursday

from 3-6. Now she’s raising money for ETCH. City House Roasters Coffee Co. is helping by coming up with a new brew, “The Charlie Payment,” with some of the proceeds

going to the fund.

Michele Silva also chats with the folks behind a fundraiser called “A Toast

to Tremont.”

It’s coming up on Thursday at West Hills Flats & Taps. My

guests are Iris Hammond, the Development Manager at the GSM Institute at

Tremont and Bryan Howington, Owner of West Hills Flats and Taps. We learn about

the programs at Tremont for kids and adults and how the fundraiser will help

bring inner city kids to the outdoor classrooms.
