GRADUATIONRandy England graduated this past weekend from Marywood University with a Bachelors in Business Administration. Besides receiving his degree, he learned that he and and another student, Ellen Clauss, won the tecBRIDGE Business Plan Competition!
 
It is a regional competition designed to stimulate innovative thinking to leverage a technology-driven economy while retaining Northeastern Pennsylvania’s talent. It is about businesses investing in Northeastern Pennsylvania’s greatest asset…its PEOPLE. 14 colleges and universities were involved in the competition.
 
Marywood University’s team, Aya Fair Trade LLC, won the top prize of $10,000 in cash start-up funds and $100,000 in in-kind services, which includes legal assistance, accounting, office space, and equipment.
 
Aya Fair Trade LLC is a for profit business driven by a social mission. Run by Ellen Clauss, CEO and Randy England, CFO, it promotes a sustainable solution to poverty, one village at a time, by employing local seamstresses in Ghana. The seamstresses will make bags and purses made from materials purchased in local marketplaces in Ghana and they will then be distributed in the United States. The artisan seamstresses are paid fair wages for their work, and every bag sold funds one week of education for a child in Ghana.
 
Randy and Ellen will be leaving in the next couple of weeks to travel to Ghana and get the operation started! AWESOME!

North Elk Coffee House–Final Show of the Season!

by

coffee houseThe North Elk Coffee House (held in our Parish Hall) will have its final show this coming Saturday, May 21, 2016. Doors open at 6:45 and show starts at 7:30. Tickets are $8.00. Proceeds benefit The Meeting Ground.

Our final show will feature another of our favorites – blues guitarist, Toby Walker. Toby opened our season in 2013 and we look forward to hearing him again! “Little” Toby Walker, as he is called, may be short in stature but his guitar skills are large as life. Toby is an excellent finger-style guitarist adept at blues, rags, and hot country picking. He is also a skilled singer and songwriter, drawing inspiration from traditional and contemporary music. His raw vocal style recalls the blues legends of the Mississippi Delta, some of whom Toby credits with mentoring him in the American Blues tradition. His musical style has been compared to that of David Bromberg and Hot Tuna. Toby’s wonderful live performances mix his musical skills with his abilities as a storyteller, as he shares his inspirations for songwriting and stories of his travels through the American musical tradition.
