Upcoming Events

As you know, I am particular about how I spend my time. When I endorse an event or group you can rest assured that I do believe it is worth my time and may very well be worth yours too. Here are two events that I hold in high regard:

Community Bridge Building Network, November 17, 2010 from 9:30 to 11:30 AM, Waterfront (Pittsburgh)  Cost $2.
Our purpose is to assist in the development of community partnerships by sharing information resources and providing an opportunity to network.

This month our meeting is dedicated to Veterans.
Presentation by Mike Kaus, Curator, for Soldiers and Sailors Museum
Presentation: Lisa Spahr, Author, WWII Radio Heroes: Letters of Compassion

The same group is hosting a one-of-a-kind forum to discuss the evolution and continuing challenges of the American with Disabilities Act on November 12, 2010. 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM Waterfront Cost $25
