Conexión Américas, United Neighborhood Health Services and Vanderbilt Center for Health Services are in search of additional partners for a South Nashville Community Center designed to service the immigrant community:
As Nashville welcomes more and more immigrants and refugees into our community, coordinated services are needed to address the complex and interlocking challenges facing these new arrivals as well as to help them maximize the opportunities our city affords them.
The South Nashville Community Center seeks strong partners committed to social, economic and civic integration for immigrants and refugees. While South Nashville is home to a large number of immigrants and refugees and is increasingly recognized as our city’s vibrant international district, a diverse population of hard-working Nashvillians has called South Nashville home for many generations. Therefore, this nonprofit collaborative also seeks partners committed to social justice who wish to strengthen their presence in one of Nashville’s most diverse neighborhoods.
Benefits of South Nashville Community Center:
• Nonprofit collaboration and coordination of services
• Located in Nashville’s international corridor
• Convenient access to services for immigrant families and diverse community of South Nashville, on the bus line
• Increased operating efficiency through shared costs (meeting space, training & classrooms, kitchen, restrooms, parking and possibly other back-office collaboration)

Penderecki Comes to Nashville Jan. 21-23
Schermerhorn Symphony Center
Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki has remained one of classical music’s most important and most talked-about figures for the past 50 years. Bold, resonant and deeply personal, his music has embraced an array of styles, from the expressive Romanticism of Richard Strauss to the bracing, energetic sounds of postwar modernism. He makes a rare visit to Nashville to conduct a specially chosen program that includes his Concerto for Piano “Resurrection,” a gripping, moving response to the events of 9/11. With a remarkable scope that recalls the symphonies of Mahler, but rendered in Penderecki’s singular voice, the work will feature the gifted pianist Barry Douglas. Penderecki will also lead the orchestra in Shostakovich’s alternately contemplative and lively Symphony No. 6.

Great offer from the local PRSA chapter:
The Public Service Committee of the Nashville Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) announces Quality Time with PR Minds on November 17, 2009, at Belmont University’s Massey Business Center, a no-cost session for Nashville area nonprofit organizations to receive expert public relations counseling and advice from Nashville PRSA chapter members who are volunteering their time.
Area nonprofit organizations interested in participating in one- to two-hour sessions to discuss public relations and communications challenges and opportunities with Nashville area public relations professionals must apply by September 30 and be accepted to attend the free sessions. The application is available to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations at www.prsanashville.com, or by emailing Nashville PRSA member Susan Barnes at sgbarnes1@bellsouth.net.
“PRSA is excited to offer support to Nashville area nonprofit organizations, combining our commitment to the public relations profession and to public service with our members’ PR and marketing experience in a number of businesses and industries,” said Julie K. Davis, President of Nashville PRSA. “We hope nonprofit organizations will leave the sessions with inspiration and ideas to implement effective public relations strategies to further their mission and achieve their goals.”
The number of nonprofits accepted for the program depends on public relations counselors available, and small nonprofit organizations with no dedicated public relations staff will be given preference. Nonprofits will be notified of acceptance for the program by October 15.
Quality Time with PR Minds, pioneered by the Los Angeles and Georgia chapters of the Public Relations Society of America, pairs experienced practitioners with a nonprofit for a one-hour session of high-level counseling. Public relations volunteer counselors will receive accepted nonprofit applications prior to counseling sessions, with information about nonprofits’ goals, resources, audiences, and challenges in implementing PR and marketing activities.
The Quality Time with PR Minds sessions are November 17, 9:00-10:00 a.m. and 10:15-11:15 a.m., with breakfast served at 8:30 a.m. The sessions will be followed by Nashville PRSA’s regularly scheduled monthly luncheon at 11:30 a.m., featuring public relations roundtable discussions.
