Dear Community Advisory Network:

Below is a request from Kate Crowley, kacrowley@state.pa.us  :

Just another reminder (plea!) that I could use any suggestions you might have for additions to our LRPP task group. 

We’re looking for folks who aren’t emotionally tied to any one of our camp properties and who can be open minded about the council’s needs and vision. 

Preferably I’d like someone with email capabilities, who can travel to a meeting from time to time (as well as travel to the properties), and who may have expertise in real estate, market research and the like. 

If you have anyone in mind, please drop me a line and I will get in
touch with them to make the “ask”.

Please contact Kate at: kacrowley@state.pa.us

Thanks.

The following is from The Times Leader, Monday, March 03, regarding The Service for Peace Award.  Community Advisory Network member Catherine Shaffer’s firm, cds creative, is being recognized for service to the community.

Service award to be presented to cds creative

WILKES-BARRE: cds creative, inc., Forty Fort, has been chosen as the recipient of the 2008 David Frey Community Service Award for its various community services and its annual create-a-thon, a 24-hour annual blitz of free professional services dedicated to non-profits.

The marketing services provided during the create-a-thon have included items such as fundraising campaign plans, logos, Web sites, posters, print ads and strategic branding plans. The clients of these nonprofit agencies benefit in an exponential manner and provide crucial services to the community.

The Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice presents this award to an individual, or group, whose actions have contributed, either by direct support of the mission of The Peace and Justice Center, or by making a contribution to the community and to the civic or corporate cause of peace and justice.

The award will be presented at the group’s annual award dinner on April 14.  Contact the Peace and Justice Center, 570-823-9977, for more information on the Peace and Justice Center’s Annual Award Dinner.

Just one more small example of Girl Scouts doing good work in the community!

Tea in Kingston 

A lovely event in Kingston hosted by two delightful Girl Scouts.

Friday, February 8th, 7 p.m.
Urbano’s Circus
performed by Richard Grunn

Inspired by Alexander Calder’s “Circus”, “Il Circo di Urbano”(Urbano’s Circus) is where art meets theatre. You will be amazed and entertained by these trash-constructed puppets as they perform their death defying and suspenseful acts. The show features Ivan the Iron-Clad Stomach, Clyde the Fearless Clown, and Boris the Elastic Acrobat. The Town Crier said, “The audience was soon cheering as these cleverly constructed puppets performed!”
$5, or give of yourself! Bring us a poem or a work of art. Refreshments served.
