Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

This free monthly event for live poetry reading at The Cup will pair flow with joe, rhythm and brews, beats and beans, and result in many a steamed stanza. I'm Miss Moth and I’ll be your Host and I have only one rule for Cuplets: Buy something from The Cup, each and every one of you, no exceptions. :) They've got espresso, coffee, chai, tea, soda, juice, and yummy food too, from bagels to sandwiches and more. That's right, support your scene with a few bucks to the venue. Don't worry about tipping me, but I'm sure the baristas would appreciate the support too. Let's keep them busy!

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOUR POETRY!

Cuplets is not curated, everyone is welcome to read. I know y'all are nice and will match the length of your reading to the attendance level so everyone has a chance to read. Read new work or old, rhyme or don't. If it's poetry to you, it's poetry at Cuplets!

Many thanks to the owner of The Cup, Martin George, for inviting me to create this monthly event! And a big ol' thank you to Lucian Cruor for the poetry/café word pairings above! :)

Just Desserts

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie and Old National Bank are excited to invite you to the 3rd Annual Just Desserts on September 26, 2018. This year the event will take place at Minnetrista Cultural Center at 5:30 p.m. 

Guests will enjoy wine, appetizers, music, and fellowship with friends. In addition, guests will spend the evening in the lovey Rose Garden at Minnetrista. When it is time for dessert, the table champions will work with their team to outbid other tables to win the dessert of their choice. The highest bid will get their choice of desserts provided by Muncie’s finest bakers. Last year’s event raised more than $30,000.

“Just Desserts is a wonderful event that brings people together to further the good works that guide, empower and prepare our community’s young people.  These are the people on whom Muncie’s future depends.” Jeff Howe, Region President of Old National Bank.

This year’s keynote speaker will be Heidi Hale from Heidi J Hale Designs + Detail located in Downtown Muncie. Ms. Hale is a longtime supporter of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie. Her servant leadership and general caring nature is exactly what the organization strives to model for club kids.

Proceeds from this event will be used to offset the difference between the cost of membership to the member and the true cost to the center. Families are granted membership to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Muncie for a cost of only $15 per year. The club averages a cost of $4,000 per year per member. The difference is made up with fundraisers, donations, and giving from our community partners.

FINAL FRIDAY: LIFE

Emcees Braydee Euliss & C.S. Hendershot introduce PechaKucha* talks to Muncie to highlight what is unique, unexpected, and inspiring in our city.

More to come—check back for details on activities and presenters!

*PechaKucha, Japanese for "chit chat," is a concise presentation format where 20 images are timed to automatically advance every 20 seconds as a presenter talks along. Each presentation lasts only 6 minutes, 40 seconds. This is an informal and fun gathering where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, snaps—just about anything, really—in the PechaKucha format.

Art through the ages can still be heard through the music of Beethoven, Greenman, and Mussorgsky. The lush sounds of Beethoven paint a sad story, while the world premiere of Steven Greenman’s Klezmer Violin Concerto blends traditional Klezmer music into a live orchestral performance. One doesn’t have to imagine Moussorgsky’s vision, as Viktor Hartman’s art along with contemporary images will be projected in Emens Auditorium during Pictures at an Exhibition.
