2011 was a banner year of programming at Center Portion, featuring the Mayoral Tutorial, a screening of indie film, Waste Land, and the Holiday concerts with The Crooked Mouth, just to name a few. We are still putting together this year's schedule, and look forward to hosting original writing and performance in our Logan Square space.
There is plenty going on elsewhere in Chicago, and here are a few things Sheila Donohue recommends checking out:
An event that asked ordinary Americans: “Are you ready to be a part of the climate crisis solution?”
See segment of the live feed shown nationally, Feb 5, 2009 (approx 30 min.)
Actress and Salon member, Nora Dunn (Saturday Night Live, Second City) acted as Emcee for this call-to-action event. She was joined by organizer and Spheres of Influence Salon founder, Dr. Sarah Warren, PhD, and welcomed local elected officials and leaders such as Howard Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center and adviser to the Obama administration; Debra Shore, Metropolitan Water District Commissioner; Dana Kenney, Asst. Commissioner, Energy & Sustainable Business; and national experts on global warming policy (via webcast).
Everyone laughed and learned along with hundreds of thousands of others across the nation. Together, we can make a difference. For more information on how you can be part of the solution, visit Spheres of Influence Salon.
