Community Service Committee Planning Meeting, Upcoming Events & News
The Generation Morgantown Community Service Committee will have its next planning meeting at 4:30 PM, on March 3. The meeting will take place at the American Red Cross office at 1299 Pineview Drive, third floor. Past events include Dogfest, Habitat for Humanity builds, Rosenbaum Family House dinners and an annual fundraiser for the arts. Please come out if you would like to serve on the committee, would like to help with an event or have new ideas on how Generation Morgantown may impact our community. This meeting will focus on planning for Dogfest 2009. Last year’s event went to the dogs and included a race, special presentations by search and rescue and K-9 units and a best looking dog contest. The event benefited BOPARC’s dog park and other non-profit organizations. We hope to see you there!

Generation Morgantown will serve dinner to the residents of Rosenbaum Family House on April 29th. If you would like to help cook, serve or participate in anyway please e-mail Jack Thompson at tojackthompson@aol.com.

The December First Friday raised over $900 to benefit the arts. The money was donated to M.T. Pockets Theatre Company to purchase wireless mikes for use at the Met Theatre. The new microphones will also allow the company to perform on the stage at the riverfront park. The money was also used as a match for other grants.
