Dumbo arts this wk!

The DUMBO Arts Festival will take over the Brooklyn waterfront in a three day celebration of art and music!

Some of the highlights include: 17 art exhibits at 111 Front Street Galleries, outdoor visual art installations, street corner performers, immersive disco dancing out on the street, installations at St. Ann’s Warehouse, outdoor projections, Open Studios at the Brooklyn Army Terminal and much more. And, the best part…it’s all *FREE*!!

The festival runs from September 26-28, 2014. And, even though the art festival technically closes earlier, we’re guessing the outdoor projections are on view through midnight all three nights (like last year). You can download the Dumbo Arts Festival Guide here http://dumboartsfestival.com/download-your-daf14-guide/

Sunday join us in the climate change march

Speculated to be the largest protest against climate change in the history of the country, The People's Climate March will be held a few days before the UN's summit on climate change -- reminding the decision makers that they are accountable and that everyone is affected by the issue.

Activists from all over the country are pouring in while locals are preparing floats and artwork to raise awareness. The roughly two mile walk will start at Central Park West and end at 11th Ave and 34th Street. Come be part of the change.
The People's Climate March is just days away.

There's been an amazing amount of work and effort put into making this a historic event, but we won't be able to make this work without volunteers to help it run smoothly. If you've been wondering how you can help make this march a success - this is it.

You don't have to have any experience volunteering at an event like this - we'll give you all the information you need to make sure you're an important part of the team on the day of the march.

To make sure you have all the information you need, we're holding volunteer trainings Thursday and Friday. You'll hear about the plan for the day, the roles that are needed, and meet the other people volunteering to help make the People's Climate March a success.

Click here to sign up for a training.

The trainings are:


Friday, September 19th - 6:00-8:30pm
All trainings will be held on the 3rd Floor, room D, at TWU Local 100, 195 Montague st, Brooklyn, NY 11201

Click here to sign up for a training.

We're going to send you an e-mail later today with a deep run down of the march logistics, but we wanted to make sure you saw this first - because volunteers are that critical to the march being a historic success.

So sign up for a training - each one is just 2.5 hours, and will give you all the information you need for the day. That includes day-of logistics, skillbuilding in march management and how to work with other volunteers. Since the march is going to be huge, if you have other friends who would be interested in helping alongside you, please encourage them to come and RSVP as well. It'll be fun - and everyone who volunteers will be given a hat and tshirt.

Thanks again, and we'll see you at a training this week,
Nia and the Volunteer Coordination Team

P.S. If you went to a day-of volunteer training like this last weekend, you don't need to go to one of these. if you have any questions, e-mail me at nia@peoplesclimate.org

8pm-3am: flatiron ping pong mecca spin celebrates five years with free old school arcade games and an art expo. donations benefit the bowery mission.
September 05 2014
From 8:00 to 3:00 AM

First we saved ping pong. Now we save the humans. Join us as we celebrate 5 years of upping the ping pong game in New York City. Highlights include an art expo featuring the works of Leny Artist, a special dirty dozen showdown, DJ Brent Lee on the 1's and 2's, free old school arcade games, and a portion of the evening's proceeds will go to the bowery mission.

About The Bowery Mission
The Bowery Mission has served homeless and hungry New Yorkers since 1879. This year, The Bowery Mission provided more than 382,400 meals to men, women and children, 93,700 nights of shelter and 46,800 articles of clothing, as well as showers, haircuts, and expert medical and optometric care. Each meal and every night of shelter is an invitation to its residential recovery programs, where lives are transformed from hopelessness to hope. Last year, the Mission’s residential programs served nearly 400 men and women who are regaining sobriety, reconnecting with family and faith, pursuing educational goals, and preparing for work and independent living. The Mission’s summer camp served nearly 1,100 at-risk children from tough city neighborhoods. www.bowery.org

And of course a plethora of ping pong. A cacophony of pongmanship if you will.
