MCC Member Dick Kavaney invites us to tap our creativity and join a brainstorming session that will be a step toward shaping, animating and rejuvenating the Marcy Holmes Neighborhood.  Participants will be asked to identify "creative place-makers:" places, people and events that will get support in the future.  These may include partners from the public, private and nonprofit sectors and the community that strategically shape the physical and social character of the neighborhood around arts and cultural activities.  The organizers promise a fun event, led by members of the Creative Places Committee of the Marcy Holmes Neighborhood Association.  Come to the Aster Café on Thursday, March 13th from 7:00-8:30 pm (no later), 125 SE Main Street.
