2020 Annual Report Kirkland Town Library 2020 COMMUNITY REPORT From the Director On March 20th, the library’s doors closed to the public for 17 weeks, yet we never stopped serving our community. From placing inspiring signs around town at the start of the pandemic, to providing accurate information about COVID-19 on our website, to introducing curbside service, to transitioning to online programming, the Kirkland Town Library continued — as we have since 1901 — “to provide equitable access to information and resources that educate, engage and inspire the community.” I am proud of the resiliency, resourcefulness and dedication of our staff and our accomplishments during these extraordinary challenging times.

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2017-2018 Marmion Abbey | Marmion Academy | Abbey Farms | Guatemala Mission | 1 2017-2018 Annual Report Dear Friends of Marmion, Marmion is blessed to have the generous support of our alumni, parents (past and present) and dear friends who invest in the many ministries of the Marmion monks. This 2017-18 Annual Report recognizes those who provided financial support to the Abbey, Academy, Abbey Farms and Guatemala Priory over this past fiscal year (July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018). During this fiscal year, Marmion was blessed to receive $3,545,298 in donations in support of the Abbey, Academy, Abbey Farms and the Guatemala Priory. These generous gifts came from 1,929 individual donors (couples are counted as one) from 47 states and 4 countries outside of the U.S. (see map below). With your help, we educated 600 young men (Marmion and Colegio Seminario San José), provided $800,000 in financial aid and scholarships, installed air conditioning on the bottom floor of the Yender Hall Classroom Building, renovated and reopened the after-school snack shop, purchased new curtains for the stage and reroofed Alumni Hall and the main Abbey building, added new dual-credit courses and additional educational programing, planned the groundbreaking of the Abbey Farms Apple Orchard, and continued to serve the people of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. This is just a snapshot of what was achieved as a result of donations to Marmion. We are excited to announce that for the first time the MARMION FUND goal of $1.25 million was not only achieved, but exceeded. Participation in the annual fund mailing, Giving Tuesday, Marmathon, Salute to Youth, the BIG GIVE, the Guardian Angel Fund and Alumni Association events support the MARMION FUND efforts to fill the gap between tuition ($12,150) and the cost of educating our students (a gap of $2,250 per student).

    UNIVERSIDAD DE OVIEDO FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS MEMORIA DE LICENCIATURA From Don Quixote to The Tick: The Reflection of Sancho Panza in the Comic Book Sidekick ____________ De Don Quijote a The Tick: El Reflejo de Sancho Panza en el sidekick del Cómic Autor: José Manuel Annacondia López Directora: Dra. María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.
