Celebrate
350! Presented by
Beginning at
The Maryland State
Sons
of the American Revolution Color Guard will open the festivities
at 1 p.m. by presenting the Colors with fife and drum, as well as
fixed-bayonet musketry! An English hand bell
choir of fourteen young people will then play patriotic
music arranged for them by Judy
Dalton, who is the conductor of the group as well as the
organizer of this musical celebration.
At 2:15 and again at 3:15, students of MTACC teachers will
perform on the harpsichord,
the piano, and the pipe organ.
Flute students, a
prize-winning violin student and the Charles County
Youth Orchestra will
perform at 4:30. Distinguished flutist Lucy Snell will
perform Vivaldi's "Goldfinch Concerto" with the orchestra,
along with Lori Dean at the hapsichord. The
opportunity for students to perform on the harpsichord, the small
keyboard instrument in homes 350 years ago, is especially anticipated
by teachers and students alike.
Each recital group and
its audience also will be treated to a reception – indoors if
necessary, but on the church lawn if the weather is good! St.
Mary’s County author Linda
Davis Reno
will be present throughout
the afternoon with her carefully researched book, The
Maryland 400 at the Battle of Long Island. This new book
explains the vital role of the local troops in winning the first major
battle of the American Revolution in August of 1776. Soldiers trained
by General Smallwood of Charles County
bravely held their position
while other colonial troops were permitted to escape, making it
possible for the Revolution to continue.
Founded in 1987 by six local teachers, MTACC has grown since
then and has annually sought venues and activities to enrich the
musical life of Charles County
. As a group, the MTACC is a
member of the Charles County Arts Alliance. Working also in
conjunction with teachers in neighboring counties, members are able to
challenge their students and themselves to achieve higher goals than
would be possible by working independently.
The Music Teachers Association of Charles County is pleased to offer this tribute to our county through an afternoon of music by our young people, who are the next generation of recipients of the heritage of freedom won and maintained so dearly.
The first Connections program of the new school year
will feature the journalists Marc Steiner, host of the Marc Steiner Show
on WEAA 88.9FM, and Jessica Phillips, producer for the Center for
Emerging Media, as they discuss their Peabody Award-winning series,
"Just Words: The Stories of Working People in Our Community."

Major Gifts – Fearlessly Ensure Your Organization’s Future NEW DATE and TIME Henry D. “Hank” Lewis, President, Development Consultant AssociatesIs your organization overly dependent on just a few funding sources? Do you want to continue living with that risk? To ensure your organization’s future cash flow, a major gifts program is a necessity. Nationally, more than 60 percent of ongoing fundraising goals and more than 90 percent of capital campaign goals are met with major gifts. These gifts never come as a surprise. They take work. Almost every major gift is a result of months (if not years) of building relationships with each potential donor – getting that person to the point where they’re ready to say, “Yes.” This class shows you what you need to do to create/maintain/expand a major gifts program and create the donor base needed to ensure the success of a capital campaign. Experience Level: All Class Fee: $100 (Maryland Assoc.of Nonprofits Member Discounted Rate: $50) Location: Southern Maryland Child Care Resource Center, Charlotte Hall Date and Time: 10/21/08, 9:30 am - 12:00 p.m. Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organization's Fall Training Programs for the Nonprofit Sector Back to top

The
Acrylic
Abstractions: Color and Line Paintings
by Charles Reiher October
3 - November
2,
2008 Friday,
Saturday & Sunday 11:00
a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Reception:
Sunday October 5, 2008 1:00
p.m. - 4:00 p.m. This
exhibit presents a series of experiments in painting abstract acrylics
that emphasize color and line, and incorporate texture in a variety of
ways. Poured
paint, often combined with ink, create fields of color and merged
colors; repeated applications lend a sense of depth to the paintings.
The different patterns of paint flow on watercolor paper, plastic
papers, and canvas, provide variations in the results. Texture
is introduced through the use of thick paint, gesso, molding paste,
sand, pieces of paper and fabric, plastic, drizzled liquid acrylic, and
even canvases mounted on top of canvas. Motion
and flow come from the use of many curved lines and drizzles of paint. These
are not quiet works. They reflect the energy and hectic pace of
21st century life, the fun I have in creating them, and the music --
from classical and jazz to country and Brazilian pop -- that I
listen to while painting. Charlie
