IS THE GHETTO IN EXISTENCE BY DESIGN

Some of you may have seen the Clybourne Park play presented by the Long Wharf Theatre last season and or attended the related community conversations co presented by the Long Wharf Theatre and the New Haven Public Library. I had the pleasure of co moderating the panels with Colin Caplan and Clifton Graves. This immersion really opened my eyes to how public policy impacts the literal and metaphorical design of our lives. Note for example the increased gentrification of New Haven and what that…

REBIRTH OF THE Q HOUSE OR COMMUNITY REVIVAL

 Food for thought let's incorporate the Q House real estate footprint into a Dixwell Corridor Master plan. Integrate for example the Varick Church Development intentions, the Dixwell Church braintrust and money trust, the Trinity Temple economic development aspirations, the Elks real estate investment and related stakeholders not to mention the Dixwell Plaza Merchants Association into a big time design that future generations will be proud of. Greater New Haven and core city is poised for…

FREE FILM SCREENING INEQUALITY FOR ALL- THURSDAY MARCH 20, 2014

There has been and will probably continue to be much hot and cold air released regarding wealth, possession, distribution and justice. The free film screening on Thursday presents a cogent point of view and of course there are other ways of assessing the creation, manufacture , communication and transport of human capitol and the fruits of our individual and collective labors. Those of us in the non-profit sector might "profit" from attending this "FREE" film screening !…

Bill Graustein Lecture

You might not be able to travel to Pennsylvania to hear Bill Graustein deliver this presentation in early April. But on the other hand, given his loving and attentive investment into the New Haven non-profit community would it not be nice for a few folks to perhaps carpool and represent as the young people would say. Also who knows, perhaps we can entice Bill to deliver his lecture on home turf sometime soon as well !…

To End The Abuse, She Grabbed A Knife

DOMESTIC ABUSE IS STILL NOT GIVEN THE RESOURCES & ATTENTION IT NEEDS AND DESERVES. IN MANY SEGMENTS OF OUR CULTURE WOMEN ARE STILL PERCEIVED TO BE PROPERTY. WE NEED TO EDUCATE TEENS; DOMINATION IS NOT LOVE. NO ONE SHOULD “OWN” OR BE POSSESSIVE OF YOU.

MILENNIALS

It is always amusing to me the way that the marketing and advertising world categorizes and labels segments and cross sections of society. Nontheless this Milennials report I have found interesting. As we serve the people of all ages it is at the very least to read about alleged overriding and intertwined interests and inclinations of various age groups. As we attempt to serve always more effectively  our various non-profit constituencies, perhaps this report might shed some always needed…
