Bronx Helpers are planning Family Fest to take place in Claremont Park, in the Mount Eden neighborhood of the Bronx. We will host our event on Global Youth Service Day. The first thing we will do for Family Fest is clean and fix up Claremont Park. One thing we hope to do is paint the benches and pick up trash and chip off graffiti. We are inviting community members to participate in this event to help out with the clean-up and then to participate in team-building activities and a BBQ in the park. One of the reasons we are planning this event is so that community members know Claremont Park is a safe place to gather. We are proud of our park and every year we participate in various volunteer days (It's My Park! Day) to help improve Claremont Park.

The Jefferson State Music Festival raised over 400 pounds of food last year as just a free music festival asking people to bring food for the price of admission. This is going to be the fifth year and we would like to get it non-profit status to increase the productivity and grant funding in the future. It costs about $500 dollars to get non-profit status.

Please help us get this project off the ground.

We work with the Josephine county food bank.

According to the Central Oregon Hunger Coalition, Oregon has one of the highest hunger rates in the nation, higher than some states with twice its population. More than 13,000 people received food baskets just last year, with nearly 5,000 (or nearly 40%) being children in need. http://www.ktvz.com/Global/story.asp?s=7332525

I've been to a few Farmers Markets that rock. The Farmers Market in my home town could use a pick me up. We need to advertise to get more local vendors in, excite the towns people about what is being offered, and educate why its important to buy local.

I am just beginning this project. I've contacted a few people who have grand Farmers Markets in their cities and will be meeting with them for ideas on how to better ours.

The Greenville RiverRock Festival is a free, day-long, live festival to support local music in the Greenville/Eastern North Carolina region. This festival hosts a rare opportunity for all walks of life to set aside differences in age, gender and income and enjoy grassroots arts at its best. The Greenville RiverRock Festival features eight local/regional musical acts, a hot wing eating challenge, karaoke contest, fashion show, Guitar Hero Tournament and booths for local businesses to sell goods and promote themselves.

The Greenville/Eastern North Carolina region prides itself on diversity and talent in many areas. One of these talents is found in the wealth of musically inclined and emotionally invested artists in the area. Music is the universal language for communicating thoughts, ideas and feelings, succeeding where words and conversation fail. With the enormous amount of interest, talent and spirit found in the region, The Greenville RiverRock Festival aims to bring these talents together and allow ideas, thoughts and music to be formed within the City of Greenville. The RiverRock Festival also uses its entertainment and attractions to help spread messages of responsibility and awareness for some of the social hazards that await the youth of the area. These messages are conveyed through the festivals partners and sponsors, such as the Pitt County Substance Abuse Coalition, the City of Greenville Youth Council and the Planned Parenthood Health Systems.

Because of this mission and common interests in the Local Art and Music Community, as well as Greenville/Eastern North Carolina, the Magnolia Arts Center, Greenville's only comprehensive Arts Organization, has teamed up with The Greenville RiverRock Festival to make this event a successful and memorable experience. All proceeds, including donations, merchandise sales, after-party admission etc., will benefit Magnolia Arts Center and their passion for exposing the community to creativity, art and expression.
