  • Page 1 of 10 Request for Qualifications/Proposals Public Art
    Page 1 of 10 Request for Qualifications/Proposals Public Art Master Plan – Moline, IL September 10, 2019 Summary: The City of Moline (City), in partnership with Renew Moline, a 501(C)(3) non-profit economic development entity (Renew), is soliciting qualifications and proposals for the development of a Public Art Master Plan. The partners intend to develop a Public Art Master Plan for the downtown Moline area to enhance the urban experience and provide an attractive environment for new development. Background: With a population of approximately 45,000, Moline is the largest city in Rock Island County, Illinois. It is one of the Quad Cities, four mid-sized midwestern cities that straddle the Mississippi River, 165 miles west of Chicago. With its neighboring cities of Bettendorf, Iowa; Davenport, Iowa and Rock Island, Illinois, the area population is almost 400,000, the largest urban area between Minneapolis and St. Louis. Moline’s local economy has a strong corporate presence, including John Deere and KONE, Inc. A recent two-phase, $48 million expansion of Western Illinois University has added a new state university campus to the downtown riverfront. Nearby, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union construction of its $26m headquarters is scheduled for completion this fall. Downtown hosts the John Deere Pavilion, a visitor and discovery center; as well as a number of national chain hotels and commercial developments. A portion of downtown Moline is a National Register Historic District. The Rock Island Arsenal, home of the First Army Headquarters, employs approximately 6,000 individuals on a 950-acre island immediately adjacent to downtown Moline.

  • From Chapters to Sections
    From Chapters To Sections The message of recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous spread slowly across the United States in 1939. At that time, the largest groups holding meetings were located in New York and Ohio. The New York City, Akron, and Cleveland chapters were growing well enough in numbers for the meetings to relocate out of members’ homes into more public meeting rooms: banquet halls, hotels, schools, community centers, churches, and rented clubrooms. Sporadic newspaper coverage, word-of-mouth, and the efforts of early members in “finding and fixing drunks” brought recovery to more than one hundred men and women. The book Alcoholics Anonymous was published in April of that year, but inquiries to the small office of the Alcoholic Foundation 1 in New York City were scarce. The first few hundred men and women, with the aid of the new Big Book, continued to apply their personal approaches to attracting active drunks toward recovery and AA sobriety. AAs primarily carried the message of Alcoholics Anonymous from one person to another, carefully building a membership in a society of ex-drunks with small numbers of repeated successes. The early AA pioneers established the local groups and chapters that, unpredictably and 1 The Alcoholic Foundation, formed in May 1938 to meet in New York, consisted of three non-alcoholics and two alcoholics. Renamed in 1955 as the General Service Board of Alcoholics Anonymous, the Alcoholic Foundation was the original Board of Trustees. Refer to AA Comes of Age, pages 14-16 and 151-157. The book is available from Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc.
