For all our wonderful residents at The Crossing Apartments, we offer breakfast every week on Fridays 7 to 9 a.m. in our clubhouse.

We serve the following yummy items:

We hope to see everyone at this and other social activities we host. The breakfast is a great way to start your Fridays off successfully!

The official Weekend Without Oil has arrived–August 21-22, 2010. This is the kind of environmentally friendly thing we at The Crossing Apartments definitely support.

The U.S. is the largest consumer of oil, yet few of us realize how much oil is a part of our daily lives.

To accept the challenge go to the website and agree to the following conditions:

1. Walk or ride your bike.
2. Enjoy the outdoors.
3. Use reusable bags.
4. Be conscious of what you eat.
5. Don’t buy new makeup.
6. Drink tap water.
7. Make your electronic gadgets last.
8. Avoid buying new movies.
9. Avoid buying new clothes.
10. Read books and news online or at the library.
11. Spread the word.

If you can’t practice all of these rules this weekend (e.g. you plan to go on a road trip this weekend,) at least try to follow as many as you can, and at least encourage others to lead a more green lifestyle.
