Kuyayky and friends are hosting their annual benefit concert this Saturday. There will be dancers, colorful costumes, traditional food, and lots of music. There’s no cost to attend, but all donations go towards Christmas food baskets and musical instruments to impoverished families in the Andes. The event is outdoors, so come prepared for whatever the weather is! Hope to see you!

Just in case you’ve missed our schpeels on ADVENT here is some useful information:
During this holy season we, as Mosaic, will join with the rest of the body of Christ throughout the world in reading the same scriptures, singing similar songs, and promoting the peace and justice of God’s Kingdom.
So here are some ways you can participate:
Please email me with the Sunday that you’re available and what you’re interested in doing. Thanks for being an active participant in worshiping as a community.
Peace + Justice,

It’s your turn to inspire our burgeoning local arts scene. If you have a great idea in the arts, KNIGHT ARTS PARTNERSHIP wants to know. John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is seeking ideas and innovation in the arts from nonprofits, companies and individuals. There are three simple rules:
1. The idea is about arts.
2. The project takes place in Miami-Dade or Broward counties.
3. You find other funding to match the Knight Foundation grant.

Benefit Concert For Habitat for Humanity and Power U
Saturday, October 27th
2pm-7pm
University of Miami
University Center Patio
Description and Purpose
Two community service student organizations: Hands for the Homeless and Students Together Ending Poverty have come together to host the 3rd Annual “Break the Formula” Benefit Concert, scheduled to take place Saturday, October 27th, 2007 at 2pm on the Whitten University Center Patio. The purpose of this concert is to "Break the Formula" of poverty (i.e. the essence of what poverty is- supported by divides, conflict, and under representation in the community) bringing people from different backgrounds in the community together to "break barriers" by exposing them to different genres of music, which explains the choice of an eclectic mix of genres and performers. Most importantly, the concert will raise funds for this year's beneficiaries: Habitat for Humanity and Power U . The proceeds from the event will go directly toward each organization's efforts to alleviate the present situation of poverty and housing crisis in the local and Greater Miami area. Through this event, we will also spread awareness to inform other members of the UM campus and local community of these relevant issues, that are happening in "our own backyard."
Attendance to the event is FREE AND is open to the general public.
Any donations collected from food and activities booths will all be donated toward the cause in addition to a percentage of the funds raised by band and artist tables.
