The smoothest Wof upgrades can often be problematic, but when you’re upgrading 10-year-old soft- ware and thus skipping several generations, well, let’s just say that “stupid” doesn’t nearly cover it. 2016-2017 Season That’s where we are, though, and the fact that you’re reading this is proof that we’ve survived the process (as we write this, however, that outcome is by no means assured). So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series.

  • Observations
    Observations . Thank you for your continued support to Amani Family Services. The Board of Directors is pleased to report that 2016 was a memorable year for the organization, highlighted by the changing of our name. Notable achievements include: • Approving a new, long-range strategic plan for 2016-2020 • Updating our mission and vision • Increasing pool of supporters • Launching our first One Beat, a lip-sync battle. Our goal is to impact positively the community and the lives of immigrants and refugees; thanks to these steps we are more prepared than ever to connect with families, resources, supporters, and the entire community. — Tom Trent, Board Chair Buckle up, because 2016 brought some change! In September, we announced the change of our name to Amani Family Services and unveiled our new logo. The response was significantly positive and energized us after the eight-month process. For me, as recently appointed director, it meant overseeing with the board’s help an orchestrated number of activities, from the formation of a wonderful internal/external committee to six respected focus groups to surveying clients, staff, board members, foundation facilitators, and community members. Having met Pastor Saneta Maiko, founder of the former Crime Victim Care of Allen County, it brought me great satisfaction to see our board select a word from the Kiswahili vocabulary to honor the language of the person who started our agency. And I had a personal connection: amani was a word that stuck with me years ago when visiting the Congo (Kinshasa), a war-torn country where amani (meaning peace) was posted by civil organizations and residents as a cry for cease-fire and reconciliation.
