State College, PA Events: Community Calendar

Parents of students entering 5th through 8th grade are invited to apply for Middle School Scholarships. A limited number of scholarships will be awarded. Download application online.

Please consider opening your home and your heart to a teenager from another part of the world. Student exchanges promote peace and cultural understanding for all involved.

ASSE International Student Exchange is seeking volunteer host families for the 2014-2015 school year. You can apply now, it is not too early. Student applications have already started arriving. When your host family application is complete and approved you may begin correspondence with your new family member.

Students live with a volunteer host family for 5 or 10 months while attending high school. Host families provide a bed, a bedroom (sharing a room with another teen of the same gender is suitable), meals, a little transportation to school and social activities, and mainly love and guidance. You do not have to have children to be a host family.

Students have a variety of interests: sports, music, academic, and social. While here they become involved in your family and school activities. They become another member of your family. It is a very rewarding experience.

ASSE is also seeking students 15 - 18 years of age for our Outbound program. These students would travel to a country of his or her preference to live a semester or year abroad.

Please call me, Susan, ASSE local area rep for more information. (814)933-9672 or respond to email.
You will be making a dream come true for them. Thank you.

The story of how Stained Grass Window came to be is essentially that of a happy accident. Our origins lie at an event local to us called the Jerseytown shindig. This monthly jam provided the opportunity for a chance meeting between Mark Doncheski and Mary Hermann. Mary is an ER doctor with an interest in bluegrass and acoustic music. Mark had been playing bluegrass in an organized setting as a bass player for the band Dark Hollow. A third individual, Ken Shafranko, was fulfilling a long simmering ambition to learn the dobro and he, too, found himself at the same jam. The year was 1990 when these three made each other’s acquaintance. At Mary’s invitation they found themselves at her house from time to time just for the enjoyment of playing together. A fourth individual, Tom Harhart, would join these sessions. Tom was a fairly accomplished player on just about anything with strings from banjo to mandolin to guitar to dobro. And he could sing.

After a couple of years of playing together just for the fun of it one night Mary announced that she’d found someone who wanted us to play for a fee. And so it happened that these four musicians presented themselves to an audience, playing to a St. Patrick’s day crowd at a local tavern. No thought had even been given to a name for this assemblage of erstwhile musicians. Spring turned to summer and we found ourselves playing before other groups. At one of the events someone in the audience wanted to know what was the name of the band. Mary, ever quick on her feet, replied “Stained Grass Window.” The name stuck.

Come and join us at Zola New World Bistro from March 3rd to April 26th to enjoy Clare Miller's etchings on display.
In the last five years, Miller’s work has evolved into a new genre of highly sought after “green” art. Her work gives life back to discontinued styles of wooden doors, cabinet doors, and panel shutters that would have otherwise been discarded. The panels are refinished and carved resulting in a nature-inspired textural wonderland. When etched, the old panels often reveal the many under layers of paint. In effect, this unearths the subtle color variations that allude to the history and life span of the once-unwanted piece of wood. Miller’s multifaceted tribute to nature is apparent not only through her choice of mediums but also the subject matter in her work.
Miller’s work has been featured on ABC Channel 27 Harrisburg’s news and the Carlisle Sentinel Newspaper, as well as the Patriot News Penlive.com for her “green art” concept.

New paintings in oil by Art Margaux.

Images of nature, life and love on raw, un-stretched canvas, without borders or limitations.
The imagery expands across the surface as our minds do across time.
A diary entry of sorts, Maggie Wolszczan explores the secret gardens and silent corners of her mind on canvas.
Rather than expressing her stream of thought in words, she does it with a paintbrush and vivid imagery.

The Opening Reception will be held Saturday, January 11th, from 6-8pm at:
