MIDDLECREEK -- M&T; Bank, through the M&T; Charitable Foundation, has awarded a $500 grant to the GENEROO Organization -- the Middlecreek Council on the Arts.
The name, Generoo, which means "good friend," comes from the language of the extinct Susquehannock Indians, who resided in the Susquehanna Valley. The GENEROO Organization, an all-volunteer registered nonprofit, supports and benefits all segments of the community through the production and coordination of cultural and educational events, including all the creative art modalities, such as: theatre, dance, visual arts, music, literature, film, media, folk arts/crafts, history, workshops, lectures and special events to cultivate awareness, understanding and respect for the arts and cultures.
The current season's events include a guitar workshop, an ongoing book club held at 7 p.m. the second Monday of the month at the MACC, a drum circle led by Michelle Bixler to be held the evening of June 20 at the Troxelville Community Hall, a beginner drawing workshop led by Joanne Landis to be held July 18, and a community theater production planned for Aug. 6-8 at the West Snyder Middle School.
GENEROO's goal is to involve individuals of all ages and from diverse circumstances, without exclusion, in cultural and artistic events, providing opportunities for exploration and appreciation that may otherwise be lacking in our rural community, so that all people might experience the joy and benefits of a richer life.
For more information or to volunteer, contact GENEROO Board President Bev Kline Lash at 658-7710 or Board Secretary Kathleen Bingman at 658-7628.
