Friends of Pangea Day at Creative TreeHouse - 5/10 2pm to 6pm
On Saturday, May 10, 2008, The Creative TreeHouse in Bellevue, PA will host a Friends of Pangea Day event from 2:00pm-6:00pm.
A worldwide initiative, Pangea Day taps the power of film to strengthen tolerance and compassion while uniting millions of people to build a better future. The Creative TreeHouse will enable Pittsburgh to join cities around the world that will be video conferenced live to produce a program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music.
Pangea Day was created by award-winning documentary filmmaker Jehane Noujaim in collaboration with the TED Conference after she won the prestigious TED Prize, which granted her a wish to change the world. Together, Jehane and TED have created Pangea Day to harness the power of film to enhance empathy, compassion and peace.
In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it’s easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that - to help people see themselves in others - through the power of film.
Please join your friends and neighbors at the Creative TreeHouse and be part of this global initiative. There is no cost to attend this event. Please visit http://pangeaday.org for more information and RSVP to info@creativetreehousepgh.com.

Mike Swanson is a senior at Chartiers Valley High School. As a part of his graduation requirements, Mike is required to put together a final project called a ‘Senior Exhibition’. Mike’s project is a fundraiser cleverly named Clotstock. Mike is a Hemophiliac. This means that his blood does not clot properly This is where his senior project comes in. Mike’s project is an all-ages ‘festival’ cleverly named “Clotstock”. Clotstock’s lineup currently consists of 5 bands (GPV, Something About My Shoes, Greedo Shot First, Żelazowa, and The Jim Dandies) along with a much anticipated Guitar Hero Competition where the audience can show off their skills to the bands. Mike has also put together two raffle baskets that he will raffle off at the event and also has a few local art vendors coming to sell their merchandise. The proceeds from Clotstock will go to the National Hemophilia Foundation (Western Pennsylvania Chapter). For any information about tickets, feel free to call Mike at 412-276-3578. Tickets to the event are $7 presale and $10 at the door. Tickets for either basket are $5.
