[Highland Park] Pasta machine
by Brett Day 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Does anyone have an elecric pasta maker that they are wanting to be rid of ??? Not one to make electric pasta, but rather; one of the type that kneads and extrudes the dough for you when you add electricity. A very kind (and currently impoverished - gone back to skool) friend has decided she would like one, and being as it is not currently yard sale-ing season; I thought I would ask here. Perhaps you have one gathering dust in the basement since your wedding six years ago, and you've been wondering who you could regift it to. Well, if you do; please let me know, and tell me how much you would want for it. Thanx Brett

- www.unionproject.org - Volunteers Needed Tomorrow! Union Project needs 8 volunteers to assist with stained glass cleaning tomorrow night; Thursday, January 19 from 7-9pm. Volunteers will work alongside Stained Glass class members to prepare windows for reconstruction. If you are able to help please email Justin(a)unionproject.org or call 412-363-4550 x 2 or just show up at 7 pm. Thank you for honoring Dr. King Union Project and Open Door wish to thank the more than 300 people who came on Monday evening to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Monday evening service was a kickoff for 4 Monday evening events in February at the Union Project. Please join Union Project and Open Door for discussions around race and community at 7:30 pm on February 6, 13, 20, and 27. For more information email hilary(a)unionproject.org or bj(a)pghopendoor.org or call 412-215-6398. Union Project receives first Federal Grant The Department of Health and Human Services has awarded a $700,000 discretionary grant for community development to the Union Project. The grant supports the Union Project’s efforts as an arts and enterprise incubator. Funds will be used to complete the construction on Union Station – a social enterprise café partnership with Peabody High School’s Culinary Arts Academy. This construction will mark the completion of Phase I of the Union Project’s capital renovation campaign. Funds will also be used to assist Union Project partners and projects in their community development efforts and are tied to a goal of 101 jobs to be created over a period of three years among Union Project tenants, partners and projects. At least 60% of jobs created will be filled with low-income individuals. In addition to Union Station, the Union Project aims to launch at least two additional social enterprise endeavors this year; a production pottery to employ high school youth and a stained glass restoration company. Social enterprise is any earned-income business or strategy undertaken by a nonprofit to generate revenue in support of its charitable mission. “Social enterprise and entrepreneurship has been a hallmark of the Union Project through our stained glass classes, volunteer learning experiences, summer market, and more,” says Executive Director Jessica King. “We are thrilled that this grant provides the resources for us to implement a vision that will create new opportunities for our neighbors in need. In a time of decreasing grants and public subsidy, maximizing our income-earning potential is essential to create self-sustaining, long-term, positive change.” Additional grants recently received toward the Capital Campaign include: $1,000 from the Stuckeman Charitable Trust, $5,000 from the H.J. Heinz Company Foundation, $10,000 from the Mary Hillman Jennings Foundation, and $20,000 from the Allegheny Foundation. Founded four years ago by young Pittsburghers, the grassroots Union Project has raised some $3 million to renovate the formerly abandoned Union Baptist Church and start new community and economic development programs, engaged over 1,600 volunteers in innovative hands-on restoration work, and opened renovated space to house the offices and studios of nine community organizations, entrepreneurs, artists and people of faith. A boardroom and two large halls are available to rent for short or long term use. A cooperative ceramics art studio is in development and will be accepting applications and membership in 2006. Phase II of the capital renovation project will commence in 2006 and will raise the funds necessary to renovate the former sanctuary into a civic gathering space for weddings, arts performances, religious assembly and public gatherings.

[Highland Park] Monthly Game Nights in Highland Park
by Salvador Wilcox 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

Marie and I would like to host a game night on Saturday 4 February from 7:00pm until 11:00pm at our house at 914 Heberton Street. We could do Scrabble, Pictionary, Risk, Chess, and Connect Four. Guests can bring their favorite game. Would anyone like to join us? Kids would be welcome, though video games will not be one of the options to play. We also want to know if other families would be willing to play host in other months. We thought that the host family could provide the drinks and games. Guests would bring a snack to share. We thought this could be a good way for people to get to know their neighbors.
