A small space will soon be revealed in Elizabethtown. Despite its compact size, it’s designed to make a big impact on the community. A ribbon-cutting event for a Little Free Art Gallery (LFAG) will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 24, outside of Twisted Easel, 1 S. Market St., Elizabethtown. The ribbon cutting will take place at 2:30 p.m. “A Little Free Art Gallery (LFAG) is a delightful twist on the concept of the Little Free Library, but instead of sharing books, people share art,” explained Twisted Easel owner and creative
HOPE International is looking for players, participants and interested individuals for its upcoming fundraising event. But what the nonprofit organization would really like are committed golf partners. “It’s really something we’ve seen more of in this next generation,” said Jeff Rutt, who founded HOPE International in 1997. “People want to know the why. What’s the long-term impact of what we’re doing? I think it’s good that we live out what we believe. If we’re going to go golfing, let’s do it for a cause. We want people to be emotionally invested.” Individuals who participate in HOPE International’s 25th annual golf outing will become unofficial partners in the organization’s fight against world poverty through Christ-centered financial services. This year’s fundraising golf outing will be conducted on Friday, Sept. 12, at two venues. Shotgun starts at 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. will tee off the philanthropic activities at Iron Valley Golf C lub, 201 Iron Valley Drive, Lebanon, and an 8 a.m. tee time will get things underway at Wyncote Golf C lub, 50 Wyncote Drive, Oxford. The day will include cart use, prizes, fellowship and information about HOPE International’s mission. Registration for players and sponsors is open until Monday, Sept. 1, at https://.engage .hopeinternational.org/event
