MUNCIE, Ind. — The second annual Maybelle Music Fest, a female-fronted festival celebrating Mother Maybelle Carter and local women in music, will be at 4 p.m. Saturday, July 2, at Elm Street Brewing Company, 519 N. Elm St.
The family-friendly, all-ages event will feature eight female-fronted acts, female-owned vendors, food and drink. "Although the event is 100% non-political, we do believe this event happens to occur at a poignant time in the history of women's rights," a release stated.
The event is named after Mother Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family, a pioneer of women in music.
Network Huddle peer groups to provide support for nonprofits
MUNCIE — The Nonprofit Support Network, established earlier this year to provide support to nonprofits serving Muncie and Delaware County, has announced its first lineup of services, Network Huddles.
Network Huddles are peer group meetings hosted and facilitated by the Nonprofit Support Network to offer nonprofit professionals, in any role, ongoing opportunities to connect and learn with their peers who share similar job responsibilities, face similar challenges or have interest in a similar topic.
Network Huddles will kick off with a Shared Services Huddle 1-2 p.m. July 18 at Mitchell Early Childhood and Family Center. Nonprofit staff in the roles of executive director, staff accountant, board chair or similar positions are encouraged to attend to learn more about shared services and collaborating with other nonprofits to explore efficiency in business functions, according to a release.
A second Network Huddle, called Development Huddle, 1-3 p.m. July 25 at the Innovation Connector, will provide a space for dedicated work on fundraising plans and allow for group brainstorming about challenges. This Network Huddle is for individuals who are responsible for development and fundraising at their nonprofit organization.
Additional Network Huddles are being explored with a goal of offering a variety of peer groups for all nonprofit professionals to have a space to learn and connect, the release stated.
