Did you Know……….
The Tagua Nut
‘Vegetable Ivory’
Deep in the Amazon Rainforest grows
a special tree called the Tagua, or
ivory palm. It produces an
extraordinary fruit, the Tagua nut,
which has been used to make buttons,
jewelry and carved objects since the
19th Century.
Enjoy using Tagua product knowing
that its purchase supports the
employment of nearly 35,000
indigenous people. The income
received from Tagua crops is a strong
incentive to maintain the trees. This
helps stabilize the Rainforest and,
ultimately, World environments.
A palm’s yearly harvest EQUALS
ivory from one female elephant.

| January Spearit Newsletter We would like to thank everyone that brought in toys for the Toys for Tots drive. It was a huge success and the Marines were very thankful for all the toys that were donated. To ring in the New Year, we will be having a beading party. We have rented Big Town Hero for the evening of the 30th of January starting at 7:00pm going until we get tired of beading. We have ordered a large sandwich, so all you will need to bring is your beads and beading projects. Last but not least, we will be moving to a new location on the 1st of February. We are moving the next block over, next to the stained glass store GMI. Our new address will be 131 Broadalbin SW. We will be having a Grand Reopening on the 2nd of February. |
