If you have been following our event announcements regularly, then you are probably aware that this is the last week of Joanne Rice's two-year performance, the Human Cost of War, at noon each day, with next Tuesday the 6th the final day. Today we received an email from a writer at the Back Bay Examiner, Deborah Lee, who sent us a link to her article.

I also received today in my own email the press release notification from the Tanne Foundation about the award Joanne recently received.  And last Monday, a notification arrived from the Boston Foundation about a special event "honoring the first nominees and recipients of the Brother Marks Fellowship Awards. "  And who is one of the nominees, but Joanne Rice !!? The ceremony is Tuesday, October 13 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the Boston Foundation. I just noticed too that Joanne is an "editor's pick" from the Phoenix for the upcoming week.

I'm not going to over or understate the importance of awards and media. I do however want to acknowledge the number and convergence of them now. This isn't the last we will hear about Joanne and her work. Though with these acknowledgments coming thus far, I want to wish her my congratulations and share my appreciation as well, as I hope you do too.

 
best regards,
