Meetings and events could be anywhere in the Greater PGH area, but Irwin isn’t too far for most events (depending on how you define “too far”, I suppose…) You’re definitely closer than, say, Behrend or Main.
If anyone is interested, sort of off topic, but I run a small business called JS Princess Parties. I bring character entertainment for children’s birthday parties and public events and charities. The reason I bring it up is that I have a lot of experience planning events and working with libraries and such. If that could be useful I’d be happy to lend a hand.
We have a branch in the forums for “off topic”, but we’ll allow it in this case, because you’re new and it’s kind of still a “getting to know you” thing – now we know where to go when we need to hire a “Galactic Hero”! 😉
That’s pretty cool though. We’ve developed a great relationship with Cranberry Public Library, and have done several events and displays there. We’re working on some other library connections – have done a display or two at Bethel Park as well, and I’ve made contacts with several other branches of the CLPGH / ACLA family where I’m hoping we can do a massive collaborative series of displays in conjunction with their summer reading theme this year. (Details forthcoming; I have 3 or 4 branches besides Cranberry where we may be able to do this if we have the interest from members to build that much.) So yeah, your experience could lend nicely to that effort – I’ll try to remember to tag you when I post more info in a few weeks, but keep your eyes peeled for that thread too in case I forget! (my memory in my old age ain’t what it used to be…)
