4/1/12 Nine Authors Nine Items: A Storytelling Auction Save the date! Friday, May 11. At 8 pm, we will be hosting a benefit in Somerville, MA: a reading featuring nine local authors. Each author will read a short work about an item that is close to his or her heart—gift certificates, various services, signed books, childhood art projects. After each reading, the item will be auctioned off by local auctioneer Lulu Savage. It'll be a great way to hear entertaining stories and support the Endowment's mission. The complete list of readers is as follows:
The event will be held at First Church Somerville, close to the Davis Square stop on the Red Line—here's a map. If you'd like a flyer for the event, there's a sharp-looking one here here: feel free to make copies and circulate them widely! We also have an official release for press outlets. 9/24/11 The I Have A Plan contest has a winner! Congratulations to Kristen, who won a super-cool messenger bag in our summer drawing! 9/23/11 Thanks to our supporters, we have been able to award a travel grant to Mara Reynolds!  Mara needed to attend an intensive three-day training session at the Edible Schoolyard Academy in order to continue with her plan to become a garden-based educator. We were able to provide her with funds for registration, travel, and lodging. Learn more about Mara's story. 6/21/11 This year, our goal is to raise at least $5000 for scholarships and grants. To get started, we have launched our "I Have A Plan" campaign. The Endowment for Unexceptional Humans asked people to share their plans with us, and this is what they came up with! Get involved by making a donation today.
Also consider uploading your own "I Have A Plan" video.
Boston-area residents can also participate in the campaign in person, by visiting the 1369 Coffeehouse in Cambridge. Fill out an "I Have A Plan" slip and be entered into our drawing to win our super-cool messenger bag. We can't wait to hear from you! 5/23/11 We are thrilled to report that we have awarded a grant to Brenda E.!  Brenda requested help in fulfilling her dream of obtaining licensure as an architect, and we feel confident that with our help she now has the financial and community support she needs to study for and pass all of her exams. Learn more about Brenda's story. 5/23/11 Congratulations to Mara Reynolds! Mara received a scholarship from The Endowment for Unexceptional Humans to cover the cost of attending the Edible Schoolyard Academy: Creating Garden & Kitchen Classrooms in Every Community.
