  • The AGA Song Book up to Date
    3rd Edition Songs, Poems, Stories and More! Edited by Bob Felice Published by The American Go Association P.O. Box 397, Old Chelsea Station New York, N.Y., 10113-0397 Copyright 1998, 2002, 2006 in the U.S.A. by the American Go Association, except where noted. Cover illustration by Jim Rodgers. No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any form or by any means, or stored in a database or retrieval system, without prior written permission of the copyright holder, except for brief quotations used as part of a critical review. Introductions Introduction to the 1st Edition When I attended my first Go Congress three years ago I was astounded by the sheer number of silly Go songs everyone knew. At the next Congress, I wondered if all these musical treasures had ever been printed. Some research revealed that the late Bob High had put together three collections of Go songs, but the last of these appeared in 1990. Very few people had these song books, and some, like me, weren’t even aware that they existed. While new songs had been printed in the American Go Journal, there was clearly a need for a new collection of Go songs. Last year I decided to do whatever I could to bring the AGA Song Book up to date. I wanted to collect as many of the old songs as I could find, as well as the new songs that had been written since Bob High’s last song book. You are holding in your hands the book I was looking for two years ago.

  • 2007 Annual Report
    2007 ANNUAL REPORT NEW YORK • NEW JERSEY • CHICAGO • SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA The All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting human development through the use of an innovative performance-based model. The ASP creates outside of school, educational and performing arts activities for tens of thousands of poor and minority young people. It sponsors community and experimental theatre, develops leadership training and pursues volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities. The ASP actively promotes supplementary education and the performance-learning model in academic and civic arenas. Dear Friends, Twenty-seven years ago, the All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) began by producing neighborhood talent shows in a church basement in the South Bronx. Volunteer-driven, unfunded and unrecognized, the All Stars Project invited children from New York City’s poorest neighborhoods to create something together; to put on a show. Young people came. And they just kept on coming. Nearly three decades later, the ASP – now headquartered in New York City at our 42nd Street Performing Arts and Development Center (pictured left) – is still volunteer-driven (our volunteers are our MVP’s), fully funded (100% privately) and widely recognized for the success of our programs and approach. Most importantly, the kids are still coming – in New York and Newark, Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Boston, Atlanta and Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Some have called it ‘grassroots show business.’ In the pages of this 2007 Annual Report, you will read about the performances ASP is producing.

Esta responsabilidad insoslaya- ble e impostergable, es una responsabilidad que nos atañe a todos. Como el papa Francisco lo menciona en su encíclica Laudato Sí, la vida en nuestra casa común depende de la solidaridad y el acuerdo de toda la familia humana en la bús- queda de soluciones y en la consolidación de una ecología integral, la cual representa el conjunto de condiciones de la vida social que hacen posible a las asociaciones y a cada uno de sus miembros el logro más pleno y más fácil de la propia perfección. Por ello, como institución comprometida con el desarrollo sostenible e integral, buscamos aportar mediante acciones concretas un cambio en el modus vivendi que, no se reduzca a una solución meramente técnica, sino, a la ge- neración de un ethos en pro de la vida, más allá del interés y el desarrollo material. Para la UNIVA el desarrollo sostenible en favor de la vida no es una opción, es una obligación y responsabilidad histórica. 5 Comprometidos con el Desarrollo Sostenible INTRODUCCIÓN 11 I.
