June Event at Casa La Paz,
Last Saturday of the Season — June 16th!

Customer Appreciation Barbecue
June 16th, 2007 – LAST SATURDAY –
all day

Mike will be serving:
"There is a Free Lunch, Adios Amigos, Have a Nice Summer" Ranch Tacos

This BBQ marks our last Saturday for the season. Summer is not the ideal season for planting natives, but an excellent time to plan what natives to plant in the fall! We will kiss our weekend hours goodbye until October, when we will again welcome you each Saturday with arms wide open.

We look forward to seeing you June 16th for this celebration. Come out to enjoy some food, laughs and sales on select items throughout our retail store.

Give us a ring or drop us a line to let us know you're stopping by!

Please note: Tree of Life will remain open to the public every Thursday and Friday throughout the summer.
