Buy Nothing Day November 27th

On November 27th – the busiest day in the American retail calendar and the unofficial start of the international Christmas-shopping season – thousands of activists and concerned citizens in 65 countries will take a 24-hour consumer detox as part of the annual Buy Nothing Day, a global phenomenon that originated in Vancouver, Canada. This is a day where we challenge ourselves to switch off from shopping and tune into life.

Kalle Lasn, co-founder of the Adbusters Media Foundation, which was responsible for turning Buy Nothing Day into an international annual event, said, “Our headlong plunge into ecological collapse requires a profound shift in the way we see things. Driving hybrid cars and limiting industrial emissions is great, but they are band-aid solutions if we don’t address the core problem: we have to consume less. This is the message of Buy Nothing Day.”

One may ask: “instead of buying nothing on November 27th, shouldn’t we be spending more so as to save our economy?” Attempts to shore up our present economy are futile. Our globalized consumer-orientated economic system is crumbling and the signs for global catastrophes are already here, as our planet’s natural resources are plundered, Can we face it? Can we really face the reality that this is so?

So what can we do? It will take vision and experimentation to develop new economies based on localization, where much of what we buy is produced locally, and of course, we have to consume much less. On November 27th, join people from sixty five countries by buying nothing and sending a clear message that over-consumption is one of the main causes for our planetary crisis.
Buy Nothing Day isn’t just about changing our habits for one day, but about starting a lasting lifelong commitment to consuming less and producing less waste.

Here in Providence, we observe Buy Nothing Day for the thirteenth year in a row by holding a life-affirming winter coat exchange on the State House lawn, directly across from Providence Place Mall from 10AM-2PM. In case of inclement weather, the exchange will take place at St. Patrick’s School, 244 Smith St. Those who have winter coats to give can just drop them off; those needing a winter coat can pick one up. Coat exchanges also take place in Pawtucket, Newport, Wakefield, and Woonsocket. Volunteers are needed at all the sites.

Deadline for the Pawtucket Downtown Naming Contest

Residents asked to help create identity for Pawtucket's Downtown: Information session to be held October 7th to announce $500 prize for marketing effort The public and anyone interested in participating are invited to an informational session and competition kickoff meeting on Wednesday, October 7th at 4:00 pm at the Visitor Center, 175 Main Street, Pawtucket. The Pawtucket Foundation announces a call for entries for a downtown name-the-neighborhood contest. A $500 stipend and recognition at the Annual Awards Celebration will be the reward for the winning entry. The competition, co-sponsored by The Times and Alliance Blackstone Valley Federal Credit Union, calls for submissions to identify a name for Pawtucket's downtown neighborhood that markets the positive attributes that make the neighborhood an attractive place to live, work and visit. The competition is open to anyone with a great idea, including residents, artists, marketing experts, tourists, students and businesses. "All over the world, vibrant neighborhoods have created unique names and marketing conventions that help to form their identities," explained Thomas Mann Executive Director of The Pawtucket Foundation. "In downtown, we have a growing arts and entertainment district, a number of cultural and historic attractions and a beautiful riverfront," Mann continued. "Like SoHo and the Garment District in New York or the North End in Boston, the creation of an encompassing name will help to market downtown's attractions and showcase the neighborhood as an exciting place to live, work and visit." In recent years there has been a resurgence of people living, working and visiting the downtown. In the last seven years over 500 new housing units have been developed in historic mill conversions in and around Pawtucket's urban core. Those living opportunities in addition to the opening of new businesses throughout downtown and construction of an iconic I-95 Pawtucket Bridge, have driven organizers to start thinking about strengthening the historic downtown's identity. "The investments in and around Pawtucket's downtown are creating an undeniable sense of momentum," explained Herb Weiss, Pawtucket's Economic and Cultural Affairs Officer. "We want to continue to capitalize on that momentum and come up with a name that is fresh and unique." Weiss previously capitalized on branding Pawtucket as Rhode Island's Creative Community. "I think we are still Rhode Island's Creative Community, and this downtown naming contest will prove that," continued Weiss. "With as many talented artists, designers, marketing experts, students and free thinkers as we have in Pawtucket, I'm sure the winning concept will be something the community can be proud of and will showcase our downtown in a marketable fashion." A winner will be announced at the Foundation's annual meeting on January 12, 2010. The winning concept will be featured in a marketing campaign developed by The Pawtucket Foundation and will be displayed throughout the region. In addition, the winning designer will receive $500 and a complimentary ticket to be recognized at the Foundation's Seventh Annual Awards Celebration. Proposals for the Downtown Pawtucket Naming Contest should focus on creating a distinct, recognizable and marketable identity. All submissions should be original work and clearly articulate a concept that can be reproduced on a variety of media. Submissions should be made to info@pawtucketfoundation.org or mailed to Downtown Naming Contest c/o The Pawtucket Foundation, P.O. Box 515, Pawtucket RI 02862. The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2009. The call for entries is available for download by clicking the image to the right, by visiting www.pawtucketfoundation.org/projects or by calling 401-725-4400. Good luck to all those that enter!

Educational Community Forum in North Kingstown

Dear Fellow Rhode Islanders, Since becoming Commissioner in July, just over 100 days ago, I have spent a lot of time meeting with educators, parents, students, business and labor leaders, elected officials, and other community members. Over the past two months, I have really enjoyed visiting many of our schools to meet students and teachers as they begin another exciting year of teaching and learning. Everything I have seen so far convinces me that we can become a model for public education around the nation. There is no reason that our students cannot and will not compete against the best students in the world. But we will have to do more to make this happen. The federal Race to the Top funds could bring unprecedented resources to Rhode Island to help us accomplish our goals. The U.S. Department of Education will distribute these funds to states that have both made progress and shown promise in four vital areas: • improving teacher effectiveness; • accelerating the performance of low-performing schools; • establishing world-class standards and assessments; and • developing user-friendly data systems. These initiatives are closely aligned with the set of priorities and the strategic agenda that I am developing to transform Rhode Island education. (See http://www.ride.ri.gov/Commissioner/.) As we prepare our Race to the Top application, I have scheduled community forums at which you can learn more about our strategic agenda and present your views on education reform. I greatly value your feedback, which will help us to submit a first-caliber application. We will hold community forums on: Wednesday, Dec. 2nd @ 6 p.m. SORICO, 646 Camp Ave., North Kingstown Forum in Providence: Date and location to be announced The U.S. Department of Education will review our strengths and our needs when we submit our Race to the Top application. If we receive the federal funds – and I am confident that we will! – we will be even better positioned to transform our schools and to move our action agenda from vision to reality. I hope that I will see you and hear from you at our community forums. Sincerely, Deborah A. Gist Commissioner

Hanukkah Begins at Sundown

Location: Your place
Pawtucket
Contact: friends

Hanukkah (also spelled Hanukka, Hanukkah, Chanuka, and Chanukah) 2008 begins on the evening of Monday, December 21, and lasts until Tuesday, December 29. Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most joyous times of the Jewish year. The reason for the celebration is twofold (both dating back to c. 165 BCE): the miraculous military victory of the small, ill-equipped Jewish army over the ruling Greek Syrians, who had banned the Jewish religion and desecrated the Temple; and the miracle of the small cruse of consecrated oil, which burned for eight days in the Temple's menorah instead of just one. Hanukkah is celebrated by: lighting a menorah for eight nights with olive oil or wax candles; one on the first night and an additional one each succeeding night, so that the last night has eight lights eating food fried in oil, especially potato pancakes (latkes) and jelly doughnuts (sufganiyot) playing with a dreidel, a four-sided top; the player wins or loses money depending on which side it lands on (each is marked with a different Hebrew letter) In 1997, a 60-foot, 18-ton menorah was built in Latrun, Israel; a rabbi was lifted by crane each night to kindle the lights. The same year, a 12-foot pyramid of 2,400 jelly doughnuts was built near Afula, Israel; the pastries were later distributed to soldiers serving near the northern border.

Holiday Unisong at RI Philharmonic in East Providence

join us to sing in the holidays

Sat, December 12, 2009, 2pm

led by Dr. Clarice LaVerne Thompson, along with friends from RPM VOICES of RI

UNISONG is back and in a big way- we have a new home and collaboration! All UNISONGs will now take place at the RI Philharmonic Music School, at 667 Waterman Ave. in E. Providence. We are on a bus route, wheelchair accessible and there’s plenty of parking. Our collaboration with RPM Voices (www.rpmvoices.com) means every UNISONG will begin with a warm-up by RPM Voices founder and director, Dr. Clarice LaVerne Thompson.

However, on Dec 12, Dr. Thompson will be doing more than warming us up- she will be sharing and teaching a variety of holiday music with us all. Families are strongly encouraged to attend this very festive experiential event.

Dr. Thompson believes that group singing has some very significant attributes that prove to be vital universally to communities at large throughout the world:

We cannot all talk together, but we can all sing together.
Choral music technique and education is experiential.
Singing together fosters social bonds, which fosters community, family, networking, and the sharing of folk traditions and cultural expressions

UNISONG is a non-performance community singing session meeting monthly. UNISONG is lead by a different guest musical director each time to explore music from diverse sources. Conceived by Jodi Glass, a life-long music lover and community organizer, UNISONG has come to fruition with the help of Kathy Jellison, Priscilla Young, Rachael Warren, Rose Weaver and Cathy Clasper-Torch. “Music is a deeply powerful source for expression and can lead to positive change,” said Jodi. “With that in mind, we seek to bring together people from different cultures, generations, genders and musical experience or interest in order to learn from each other and have a good time making music.”

Participants don’t have to do the following in order to sing along: read music, attend every time, prep for any performance, prep at all, or have previous experience singing with a group.

-A $5 admission fee is requested- no one will be turned away-

Hanukkah ends at Sundown

Location: Your Home
Pawtucket
Contact: friends

Hanukkah (also spelled Hanukka, Hanukkah, Chanuka, and Chanukah) 2008 begins on the evening of Monday, December 21, and lasts until Tuesday, December 29. Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most joyous times of the Jewish year. The reason for the celebration is twofold (both dating back to c. 165 BCE): the miraculous military victory of the small, ill-equipped Jewish army over the ruling Greek Syrians, who had banned the Jewish religion and desecrated the Temple; and the miracle of the small cruse of consecrated oil, which burned for eight days in the Temple's menorah instead of just one. Hanukkah is celebrated by: lighting a menorah for eight nights with olive oil or wax candles; one on the first night and an additional one each succeeding night, so that the last night has eight lights eating food fried in oil, especially potato pancakes (latkes) and jelly doughnuts (sufganiyot) playing with a dreidel, a four-sided top; the player wins or loses money depending on which side it lands on (each is marked with a different Hebrew letter) In 1997, a 60-foot, 18-ton menorah was built in Latrun, Israel; a rabbi was lifted by crane each night to kindle the lights. The same year, a 12-foot pyramid of 2,400 jelly doughnuts was built near Afula, Israel; the pastries were later distributed to soldiers serving near the northern border.

Xmas Celebration

Location: Your Home

Gold, frankincense and myrrh were the first Christmastide gifts, given by the three Magi to the baby Jesus when they visited him in his manger in Bethlehem two millennia ago. Nowadays, despite the commercial emphasis that has superseded what used to be a simple celebration of the birth of the Christian Savior (for many retailers, two thirds of the year's income is earned during the last month or so), the season has managed to retain its spirit of sanctity and benevolence. The New York Sun perhaps captured the essence of the holiday best in its famous 1897 editorial, ''Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus'': ''He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy... The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see... he lives and lives forever.'' Something else that's been living for a long, long time but can be seen by children and men is the General Grant Tree, a giant sequoia proclaimed by president Calvin Coolidge in 1926 as the nation's Christmas tree — aside from Santa Claus, the most enduring Christmas symbol.

August 25 and 26, 2010 YMCA Camp Fuller Wakefield, RI Call (401) 312-2363 for more information This coming August, Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island will once again sponsor Camp BraveHeart, a free bereavement day camp to provide an appropriate emotional outlet for Rhode Island children 6-to-17-years-old who have experienced the death of a loved one. The necessity for such a camp is borne out by research that shows children rarely receive bereavement intervention and are at much greater risk for depression, suicide and substance abuse, according to Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island bereavement coordinator Deanna Upchurch, who holds a Master's degree in counseling psychology and founded the camp. Camp BraveHeart provided children with fun activities and grief support. Camp activities included swimming, kayaking, archery, rock climbing, karate, gardening, art and music activities and story telling. In addition, counselors provided grief and emotional support through discussions, opportunities to memorialize lost loved ones and remembrance circles.

Obama and the Budget and State of the Union? date tba

Location: WASHINGTON
DC
Contact: TV

Constitutionally, he's required to give from ''from time to time,'' not every year, but the expectation is that, yes, there will be an early 2009 State of the Union address. But given that President-elect Obama's inauguration takes place a week or so before the State Of The Union is traditionally given, the plan, as of right now, is to push the formal State of the Union into early February. Note: the speech might not be labeled as a ''State of the Union'' -- it might be labeled an ''economic address.'' And note well that Obama's first budget is due in the middle of February....
