FOWL Community Connector 04/01/20

What's happening on the Waccamaw Neck ~ compliments of the Friends of Waccamaw Library!   FOWL Community Connector    April 1, 2020        Dear Friends,  With most library programming suspended through April for the Covid-19 pandemic, and most other programs and events typically promoted in the FOWL Community Connector cancelled, suspended or postponed for the duration, we will rely on the Friends of Waccamaw Library's e-blasts to keep you informed until activity can resume. Since the situation is fluid and changing hourly, we certainly don't want to duplicate or contradict official "information."  For nightly updates from the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce, visit www.VisitGeorge.com.

This e-communication supplements the hard copy newsletter and is sent to all Friends (whose e-dresses we have) and to all who ask to be added to the e-list. In addition to the programming developed by the library system and the Friends (in red), we will cover other opportunities for quality experiences, education and entertainment. The information is organized by date, so scroll down to the date you are seeking. If you are part of a group or organization with news to share, we welcome your announcement. Keep it short; just the facts. We cannot reproduce an elaborate pdf with graphics and photos. The key information needed includes: Title of event, Where held, When (date and time), BRIEF description, Benefit for (if applicable), Cost (if any), Contact (phone and email), Website (for more information).    To be added to the e-mail list or to submit an announcement, please send your information directly to the e-newsletter editor Linda Ketron at:  linda@classatpawleys.com. www.thefowl.org Visit Our Website Kids & Families at Waccamaw Library  For more information, visit: https://georgetowncountylibrary.sc.gov/programs/childrens-programs/waccamaw-kids-programs  Adult Programs For prior programs presented by FOWL at the Waccamaw Library and by FOGL at the Georgetown Library, check out our YouTube listings at https://www.youtube.com/user/GeorgetownCountyLibr CALENDAR OF COMMUNITY EVENTS  Temporarily Suspended ONGOING!

Cultural events on the Grand Strand - Check out this updated nonprofit website: www.TheArtsGrandStrand.org, created and maintained by Murrells Inlet resident John Morken, is a complete calendar and guide to the fine arts from Calabash to Conway to Georgetown.  There are more than 700 events and 50 interviews per year.  The calendar displays as a month, week, day or agenda. Each event is categorized (e.g., music, art), and you can choose to view any or all of the categories by clicking on them in the dropboxes at the top of the calendar. For health reasons, John is seeking a dedicated person or group to take the reins of this valuable website and continue to provide timely information about the quality cultural offerings along the Grand Strand. He estimates the time commitment at 3-5 hours per week. If you are interested, please contact him at jmorken27@gmail.com.
