[Highland Park] Have you been to Catapult yet?
by Christina Gavin 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Catapult <http://www.catapultpgh.com/> is a temporary co-working/co-playing coffee shop brewing coffee with fire & glass. Catapult seeks to bring together community members, independent workers, and whoever happens by, to talk about what they want and need out of life and workspaces. Catapult is sponsored in part by the lovely folks at the Sprout Fund. *What is it?* In one word: community. In another word: support. It's about figuring out a business model where indy workers and the places where they frequent, co-exist and thrive. It's about supporting people who aren't connected to the resources of a large organization. It's about having a space for creatives to come together and meet each other. Unlike all the meet-up groups and Pittsburgh chapters, it's a physical space, a home base. Catapult welcomes people who: • Want a place to use their laptop and have a beer • Need to print but don't want to buy a printer • Want coffee brought to their table • Want to be a part of an indy worker community • Don't have a traditional, full-time office job • Don't have a living room or space to chill out in their apartment • Want to use the backyard • Want to have a business meeting • Want to go out, but don't want to buy a beverage • Want to work near other people working Catapult is located at 5151 Penn Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15224 and is open from 10am to Midnight, Monday through Saturday, during October 2011. For more details, visit: http://www.catapultpgh.com/the-plan/ I have been here to work, print documents, scan files, have meetings & chat with interesting folk. I recommend you check it out! -- Make a Small Development Loan, Make a Big Difference. Easy. www.kiva.org

[Highland Park] Two of your neighbors work with the Oakland Girls Choir
by Emily Swora 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Neighbors! I wanted to bring your attention to a lovely little organization that two of us Highland Park-ers work for: The Oakland Girls Choir. (One of those neighbors is me, the other is our accompanist.) It's an inspiring organization that educates girls from all across the city about music and singing in community. www.oaklandgirlschoir.org I hope that some of you may be interested in attending our concerts or perhaps even know a girl age 5 - 18 who could benefit from such an experience. We generally hold auditions in the Fall, so she might have to wait until next year, but if interested, please check out a concert! In addition, Andres Cardenes, previous concertmaster and conductor of the PSO, has generously agreed to give a recital (his only 2011 Pgh recital) benefiting the Oakland Girls Choir. If you like live violin music, this concert is going to be the absolute best. The concert takes place on Sunday, October 23 at Chatham University's Campbell Memorial Chapel. There's even a chance to meet Mr. Cardenes. More information can be found here: http://www.oaklandgirlschoir.org/content/vocal-goes-global-musical-celebrat… and tickets can be purchased here: http://www.proartstickets.org/events/view/939 Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions! -- Emily Swora 651-212-0791 Pittsburgh, PA
