Gathering Of Women’s Words In Scranton A Gathering of Women’s Words, presented by the Susquehanna County Women’s Resource Center on October 9, at Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, sent a profound, powerful message to adjoining communities. Advocates and survivors shared stories of domestic and sexual violence through dance movement, writing, art and voice. Hence a Gathering of Women’s Words has been requested to perform at the University of Scranton, December 6, 7:00 p.m., Brennan Hall, Room 228 Brennan Auditorium. The powerful performance of courage, humor, grace, wisdom and strength touched the audience, moving them to laughter, tears, and applause. In addition, the audience responded with a compelling awareness of the struggle and effects the human condition must undergo in order to rise above violence. Witnessing this superb performance brought recognition and validation, not only to the characters in the performance but to the audience as well. The event was an eloquent and intimate way of allowing people to feel safe and not alone. As we come together as a community and extend a helping hand, we offer peace to the world. We are a world in need of less suffering and violence and more kindness, love, and unity. Mark your calendars for December 6, attend a wonderful artistic performance at the University of Scranton, and feel honored that it was given birth and creation in Susquehanna County. Rotary Citrus Sale To Benefit Children Proceeds from the 2002 Montrose Rotary Citrus Sale will be used to fund a Rotary Foundation Matching Grant to purchase hearing aids at minimal cost for poor children in Calcutta, India. Monies raised by Montrose and Calcutta Rotary Clubs will be matched seven-fold by District and Rotary International funds. It is planned that up to 100 hearing impaired youths, who otherwise could not afford hearing aids, will obtain them through the matching grant. Orders for premium Hale Indian River Grove citrus can be placed with any Montrose Rotarian through the month of November, for delivery the week of December 15. Holiday gift boxes are available, with red grapefruit, tangelos, and navel oranges as well. Contact Nancy Oakley, Montrose Rotary President, at 289-4545, or Tom Kurosky at 278-3063 for more info.
