It's a Party!
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work just south of downtown at The Reclamation Project. Since February, I've been coordinating a low-cost translation and interpretation service that provides work to our growing team of translators.
This service is just a small part of what TRP has been doing for ten years ...
English classes
Circle of Friends joining Americans to recent refugees in friendship for an ongoing exchange of culture and understanding
Working with immigrants to learn the 911 system, get driver's licenses, and pass the citizenship test
Gallery space for local artwork
A sewing circle that is currently making hats to sell for the holiday season...
All of these activities and others flow from our location in the historic Rialto Theatre. Our office is a beautifully restored space that was formerly a cigar shop, and there is much to do to restore the theatre.
To celebrate The Reclamation Project's ten year anniversary and raise funds, we're having a party on November 1st...

Sounds fun, right? For those in the Fort Wayne area looking to support a community-building endeavor, have fun on a Friday night, and see a lot of fringe and feather boas, this is your event.
I found a couple feather boas at a garage sale last week, so I have an extra if anyone needs one.
The facebook event info is here.
Contact me if you have any questions. Scott and I will be there--though not sure that he'll be sporting a feather boa...
In my world...
