rec_paintpalette Art Space at Pine Point Remind Me about this Event   Tell a Friend
    Contact: Pine Point   263-6855   
    Readers love books for the words, images, and stories they bring into being. A great book can live in our mind forever, but not so the cover that holds it, which wears out often causing the book to be discarded. Local artist and author Dean Nimmer says, “I have a fascination with the graphics and patinas of antique book covers. I rescue the book covers from flea markets, thrift shops and recycling centers to be re-purposed and admired as art.” In celebration of National Library Week, the Pine Point Branch Library's “Art Space” will be showing “Library Collages” from April 4-June 1, 2012.

    Contact: Sixteen Acres   413-263-6858   
    Explore American and Middle Eastern culture, history, and politics in a series of monthly Saturday lectures, with a question and answer period, by retired professor and Springfield resident Dr. Donald Murphy.

The Arab countries of the Middle East and North Africa won their freedom largely through the efforts of secular nationalists, often in the form of the military. Too often this new found independence was subverted by these same military leaders. The recent Arab Spring has brought calls for dramatic, revolutionary change that would bring new opportunities for people to be involved in the decision making of governing. Drawing upon his experiences while living in Egypt, Dr. Murphy will examine the promise of the spring and the reality of post revolutionary changes highlighting events of the Arab Spring in Egypt and Iran.

    This presentation will provide you with a step-by-step approach to help increase your organization's readiness for foundation fundraising, addressing such questions as:

What groundwork do I have to have in place before approaching foundations for funding?
What are the steps to obtaining incorporation and nonprofit status and where can I get some help to do so?
What are the characteristics of successful nonprofits?

This course is geared towards representatives of community groups without nonprofit status or new nonprofits with very little experience. We focus specifically on foundation fundraising.
