Sun 28 Jun 2009 12:00 AM Mission Support luncheon
A member, Moses Shin, of First Christian Church in Carrollton is doing some unusual mission work in North Korea. He and a group of other South Koreans are spreading the gospel by starting home churches with Bibles disguised as personal appointment calendars. They also help targeted Christians escape from North Korea, very dangerous. We are having a luncheon on June 28th at noon to raise funds to help Moses on his missionary journey. We would invite any who would like to support Moses by attending or you may send checks to FCC of Carrollton marked "Mission Support". Moses works with Disciples Global Missions in Indonesia but this type of mission falls outside their parameters and support so he could use some extra help. Thanks for your support and prayers. First Christian Church is located at 1835 Walnut St., 1 blk north of Beltline and Josey Ln. Everyone is welcome to come and join us at our luncheon.

Two worlds collide as the flavors from South-of-the-Border mingle with North American ingredients and methods to become a new hybridized cuisine that's all delicious. Maybe THIS is what NAFTA was supposed to be about! Menu includes Zucchini, Mushroom & Cheese Empanadas; Cucumber, Watermelon & Jicama Salad; Cranberry-Chipotle Pork Tacos with Shredded Green Apple; Pan-Toasted Posole (hominy); Rollo de Calabaza (spiced pumpkin roll) with Dulce de Leche (caramel sauce).

Thu 09 Jul 2009 7:00 PM Breaking the Mold: Paris 1917
The Orchestra of New Spain returns to the Meadows Museum to perform The Soldier's Tale, 1918 (for chamber orchestra, narrators, and dance) in conjunction with the exhibition "Diego Rivera: The Cubist Portraits, 1913-1917". Just as the cubists deconstructed the historic narrative role of painting by exploring the many forms that make up visual art, Igor Stravinsky saw past the obligatory steadiness of fixed meter to break musical expression down into the changing pulsations of real life. Tickets: General Admission - $25; Students with ID - $10; ONS Subscribers, Museum and KERA Members - $20. Purchase online at www.OrchestraofNewSpain.org or by calling (214)750-1492. Seating is limited, so reserve your place today!

This is a wickedly original cover band from Austin, TX that performs a fearless cabaret of Solid Gold-era classics from the ‘70s and ‘80s. In a city where original music rules, Skyrocket! dares to mix both, performing forgotten radio hits with a creative cast of some of Austin’s finest career musicians (Trish and Darin Murphy, Johnny Goudie, Benjamin Hotchkiss, and The Real Heroes). Discovering a common craze for the shamelessly dated but well-crafted songs of the AM-radio “solid gold” era, seven well-known musicians and songwriters united spontaneously in 2004 to form Skyrocket! What started as a lark soon caught on with music lovers and music critics alike. Michael

We also uncover fossils and pick up trash along the way. Each day offers a different craft from tie dying their own camp T-shirt to making snakes, candles, compasses, and painting rocks. Some of our out of the creek activities have included washing clothes as life would have allowed at the turn of the century, bucket brigade races and even a water gun shoot out at the “OK Corral.” We have even managed to sneak in a little education as we discuss how water usage on the farm has changed over the past 100 years. On Friday of Creek Camp the campers are entertained by their counselors with skits and each receive a special certificate recognizing their contributions to the week’s adventure

Tue 21 Jul 2009 7:00 PM Homeowners Options in the Current Real Estate
The Lewisville Public Library will host a program on “Homeowners Options in the Current Real Estate Market” on Tuesday, July 21st at 7:00 p.m. in the Small Conference Room. The program will be presented by Lucille Del Vecchio, a local real estate broker and Texas Real Estate Instructor. Due to declining values and other reasons, the real estate market has literally turned upside down with some homeowners owing more on their homes than what those homes are worth. This has caused an incredible amount of financial stress and heartache for a tremendous number of families in our area. Nationally on average over 70% of homeowners who lose their home to foreclosure don’t appear to have done anything proactive to resolve their situation. These distressed homeowners are confronted with the agonizing decision of how they should proceed. “Homeowners Options in the Current Real Estate Market” will focus on strategies for homeowners on how they might avoid foreclosure.

Teaching during this last year at Collin County Community College, Profession Ziman has organized a thought provoking exhibition of work done by her Drawing II students. Each student was employed to create a series of work that went beyond the typical “realistic” reality. Exploring a contemporary approach to art, students begin to develop more than just their ability to draw, but their ability to inspire, influence, and define their reality. Student's work ranges from abstract to realism with a twist. Kristin Flores enlarged several parts of DeKooning's work creating beautiful suggestions of a lone house.
