What is Philanthropy
 
6:00 PM, Monday, December 1 
Philanthropy
 is synonymous with American history, principles, and culture; yet it 
remains an evolving and largely misunderstood topic. What is Philanthropy? seeks to enhance our understanding of philanthropy and its role in American culture and society. 
This
 film takes a holistic view of this important subject by presenting its 
historical context with contemporary issues and including various 
perspectives from a wide variety of stakeholders. 
Through
 multiple formats, this film targets the general public as well as 
students in K-12 classrooms and higher education institutions throughout
 the United States. The power of visual learning is well documented by 
research, and this film will serve as a tool that teachers, professors 
and instructors of all types can use to holistically convey what role 
philanthropy plays in our lives. Footage is shot from all regions of the
 United States, and it presents multiple viewpoints and perspectives 
from a broad array of participants. 
A Thought Provoking Films Production � 2013 
Salvatore Alaimo, the director, will present the film at HPL and field questions afterwards. Dr. Alaimo is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public, Nonprofit and Health Administration at Grand Valley State University.  |

Dave Hardin Band
 
6:00 PM, Monday, December 8 
   The Hackley Public Library is pleased to announce the next 
performance in its monthly concert series.  This month we are featuring 
the gifted singer/songwriter, Dave Hardin and his band. The show is set 
for Monday, December 8, 2014.  Dave Hardin's talent perhaps is best 
described with these words: “His voice is striking – craggy and 
weathered, just right for the lyrical scenarios of small towns, lonely 
highways, and rural routes…his songs have an earthy elegance that warms 
the soul.”- Curtis Ross, Tampa Tribune 
    Sometimes
 fueled by real emotion, or a glimpse of everyday events, but always 
looking for how the story might continue, or sometimes sadly end, his 
songs are a slice of real life. His voice is instantly recognizable; it 
gets in your bones and makes you feel part of the story, part of the 
song. His style of playing is full and rich, notes, chords and 
percussion all from his guitar. 
    Dave
 Hardin is one of those rare talents that comes along and captures you 
as a fan for life, and sometimes you swear the songs are from your life.
 They just might be.
