MEMBERS ONLY
We’re doing it again! Invention afternoon, Monday, May 4th. Here’s the info again:
I’d like to offer up our basement the afternoon of Monday, May 4th, starting at 1PM, for an “invention afternoon.” We have a room in the basement where we keep a whole bunch of reclaimed materials, art supplies, and building tools, and Charlie uses them to build various things of his own imagination. At the moment it’s lots of pretend weapons, but he’s also created many other things. The room is pretty small, but the kids can spread out into the main part of the basement as well. I think that a maximum of 10 kids would work.
If you’re interested, I’ll need you to bring some materials to share with the group, because we don’t have enough stuff for everyone. If everyone brought a few things (whatever is easy/cheap for them to obtain) then they should have plenty to work with. Also of course if there is some particular item your child wants to build something with it’s fine to bring that for him or her.
If your child needs supervision when around hand tools and the hot glue gun and who knows what else, you’ll need to provide it. I will stay within range to hear very loud screams of pain, but I won’t be directly supervising.
Please email me if interested. I’ll put a list of ideas for materials below, but anything is fine. These are just ideas.
Hope to see you there!
-Jody
Some ideas for materials:
Cardboard tubes (from paper towel rolls, but heavier ones are more popular.)
Pvc pipes and connectors of any diameter (we have the tool to easily cut these without using a hacksaw.)
Small, broken appliances
Bubble wrap
Brown paper
DUCT TAPE, various colors
Scrap wood
Cereal boxes
Soda bottles
Oatmeal canisters
Spray paint (especially silver-colored for some reason)
String
Rubber bands
Batteries (you never know) and wire, and small electrical components like little light bulbs and buzzers. (We have a wire stripper/cutter)
Tools (We have all the basic tools, but if it’s a large group it might be good to have more.)
Anything else that seems like a good idea

Dear
CHEA Directors,
Following

your members begins with “FREE COLLEGE PLANNING AND INFORMATIN

consideration. Call me if you have any questions. I look forward to
good turnouts.

has become so intimidating – with more than 100 questions... scares off
families...preventi ng some from going to college.” ...“the

figure that thing out.” Charlotte

What: Musuem Highlights Tour including New Orleans Art Exhibit
This includes three galleries and takes about one hour.
When: Friday 5/8/09 at 10am
This was the only day we could get a no charge rate as a school group, if we choose another day it would be $5 per
person. This tour has booked up fast and no other dates were available to us unless we went in June and then it could
not be considered a "school field trip" by their standards.
Other: They prefer that children under the age of 5 not enter the exhibit areas, they said we could step away from the group with
the younger ones if we choose to bring them.
RSVP: I need a firm headcount by Friday 4/3/09 in order for the staff to have an idea of how to set our tour up.

THE HEALING FORCE

The Charlotte Folk Society

"Serving the community through the arts" is the motto of The Healing Force, a family of performers based
in Winston-Salem who use music, singing, dance, and storytelling to
bring traditional African culture to life for audiences of all ages.
The husband-and- wife team of Joseph and Gail Anderson founded The Healing Force in
1975. The Andersons have acted with the Afro-American Folkloric Troupe
and studied with the National Black Theater of New York. With their
daughter, Sonji Gardner, and son, Karim, they began full-time
professional performances in 1990. Their name, The Healing Force, was suggested by a friend to symbolize both the healing quality of art and the power of its presence.
The Healing Force has
traveled the country and appeared in venues such as The National
Storytelling Festival, the Bay Area Storytelling Festival, and numerous
festivals, schools, colleges, churches, museums, family reunions, and
community events. Through the years, the Andersons have enhanced their
performances with training from cultural masters Mohammed
Da Costa of Guinea, Djimo Kouyate of Senegal, and Mamady Kelta of
Guinea; through travel to Nigeria and Ghana; and study at the 1997 and
1998 Summer Jembe Institutes.
The Healing Force turns
any appearance into a lively, colorful celebration of African culture
and spirit with booming drums, rattling gourds (shekeres), and thumb
pianos, as they tell tales and sing songs. The use of drums and musical
instruments is important to their mission. To share African culture,
they must share music and dance, which are woven into everyday life and
are an integral part of every important event in Africa. They point out
the similarity of African folktales to traditional American folktales.
Gail observes, "African folk tales talk about family, adventure,
tricksters, love, community loyalty, life’s lessons, etc."
African
arts, history, and family genealogy are traditionally passed on orally
from generation to generation. African storytelling is a communal,
participatory experience. The Healing Force wants each of their performances to be a group experience for both the audience and themselves. Look forward to joining The Healing Force in a rousing, high-energy celebration of life!
