preview of its new planetarium on October 25, 2008 during its second
annual Spooky Science Saturday. The planetarium will begin offering
regularly scheduled shows November 28, the day after Thanksgiving. Earlier this year, Kingman Museum received $75,000 from the Miller Foundation to renovate the planetarium area, which will expand available seating to 50. It also received a multi-year grant of $275,000 from the Guido A. & Elizabeth H. Binda Foundation to purchase new state-of-the-art projection and sound systems and 17 programs. It's the first of its kind in western Michigan - the E&S Digistar 3 SP2 Full Dome system. |

Battle Creek Area Habitat for Humanity Announces: Cars for Homes
|
|
Two billion people worldwide live in poverty housing, including 5.1 million American families who need a hand up, not a hand out. Habitat for Humanity, an ecumenical Christian ministry dedicated to eliminating poverty housing, is providing that hand up, and you can help. Cars for Homes provides a new way to contribute to breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness by donating cars, trucks, boats or other vehicles. Net proceeds generated from the sale of donated vehicles are used by local affiliates to build homes in partnership with low-income families. By the end of 2005, more than one million people worldwide were living in 200,000 Habitat homes they helped build and are buying through no-profit, zero-interest mortgages. Call 1-877-277-4344. www.habitat.org/carsforhomes/ |
