"Pieces for Peace"

sponsored by The Unitarian Society of Ridgewood
113 Cottage Place, Ridgewood NJ
 

August 28, 2010 - September 26, 2010 by appointment

 

"Pieces for Peace"

an exhibition of collages by Morristown artist Alice Harrison
 
The Cottage Place Gallery is pleased to announce "Pieces for Peace," an exhibition of collages by Morristown artist Alice Harrison, August 28 through September 26th, at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood.
 
Her inspiration for this series of collage paintings springs from both personal and social concerns. The theme of developing a peaceful world through teaching children tolerance was brought into focus by her Granddaughter, Rebecca who had heard a talk by long-time peace educator Colman McCarthy.
 
Alice's award-winning work has been exhibited widely in galleries and universities throughout the United States, Europe and New Zealand. She has received several Geraldine R. Dodge grants, and is included in 2000 Outstanding Artists and Designers of the 20th Century, published in England.
 
There will be a "meet the artist" reception on Saturday, September 11th, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
 
The public is welcome. Other hours by appointment. Please callv 201-444-6225.
 
The Gallery is located at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, 113 Cottage Place, Ridgewood NJ.

Red Molly In Concert At Garden Stage
sponsored by The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau
223 Stewart Ave, Garden City NY
 
Friday, September 10, 2010 - 8:30 pm
(open mic at 7:30 - sign up at 7:00 pm)
 
Red Molly (Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Molly Venter) will perform in concert at Garden Stage at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Garden City, NY on Friday, September 10th at 8:30 pm, open mic at 7:30 (sign up at 7:00).
 
The dynamic female trio that began as a happy accident around a campsite (at the 2004 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival) is now drawing invitations from renowned historic national events like Merlefest, and is winning over audiences around the country. Spurred onward by an ever-growing and devoted fanbase, and the desire to commit themselves to touring farther from home, Red Molly is at the start of a new and exciting musical chapter. After six years of touring, the band announced that guitarist Carolann Solebello will leave the group in August 2010 to spend more time with family. Founding members Laurie MacAllister (bass, banjo) and Abbie Gardner (Dobro, guitar) welcome the newest "Molly", Austin-based singer/songwriter Molly Venter, to fill out their lush, distinctive three-part harmonies. Over the last month of rehearsals and impromptu live performances in Hamilton Park, near their rehearsal space in Jersey City, the three women quickly nailed the essence of the Red Molly sound, while hinting at inspiring new musical possibilities in the months of touring that lie ahead. "We are busily reinventing fan favorites from our current recordings, while adding new material and collaborating on songwriting for the first time," says Gardner. "This is an exciting time for the band; we're so thrilled that Molly has joined us," adds MacAllister.
 
$20 in advance, $22 at the door.
 
Garden Stage is an all-volunteer, non-profit, committee of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau.
 
Indulge in delicious homemade desserts in the Mallette Gallery during the intermission.

Benefit for The International Rescue Committee

sponsored by The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau

Sunday, September 26, 2010 - 4:00-8:00 pm

 
On Sunday, September 26, 2010, from 4 till 8 PM, a concert will be held at UUCCN to benefit The International Rescue Committee. Admission is $15. UUCCN is located at the corner of Nassau Boulevard and Stewart Avenue.
 
The IRC is currently providing aid to victims of the catastrophic floods in Pakistan, where as many as 20 million people are affected. They continue to provide aid to those in Haiti affected by the earthquake, and victims of the violence in Democratic Republic of Congo and Iraq.
 
Performers include Martha Trachtenberg, whose singing has been known to turn a seasoned professional into a life-long fan with one hearing; Josh Joffen, an eloquent and powerful performer who can craft deeply profound poetry or playful odes to a Caribbean vacation without missing a beat; Lois Morton who brings both her hilarious, evolved wit and deep knowledge of the songs of Edith Piaf; opera singer Julianne Grace Park; singer/actress Liz Clark Golson; banjo virtuoso/singer/folk music scholar Bill Vanaver; acoustic artist Larry Siegel (all the way from Germany); cabaret sensation Mary Ellen Bernard; three time MAC Best Male Vocalist Marcus Simeone; composer/lyricist/singer/songwriter Tina Lear; 15-year-old local favorite Mason Sansonia and some surprise guests.
 
The live band accompanying the artists is being assembled by Broadway veteran Michael Sansonia. Previous bands have included alumnae of such diverse groups as the Paul Winter Consort, Bruce Springsteen’s band, the David Bromberg Band, and Le Vieux Carre Orchestra. This band, at press time, is shaping up in the same tradition.
 
A wide variety of wonderful, tasty food will be available. There will be a gift basket raffle and a 50/50 raffle.
 
Come have a great time. Please your ears, your tongue, your eyes, all while helping the IRC continue its good and important work.
 
For information contact Michael Sansonia at 917 797 2225.

Beginning with the common threads we share, we can spin the beginnings of peace, knit together neighborhoods and weave together a world that we can give to our children to do the same; a world that seeks the best in each of us and where those common threads become the fiber of our being.
 
Each year we do a charity project. This year we are knitting Duduza or Comfort Dolls for One Chance International. Doctors from NJ go to Ghana each year to perform necessary surgery on the children. They are often frightened....these dolls provide a bit of comfort during these procedures.
