On June 11, at 6:00 p.m. in the BUHS auditorium, Brattleboro's Students for Renew, a student organization raising funds and providing education to aid the relief and recovery of unexploded landmines and ordinance in Vietnam, is presenting a Celebration of Project Renew. The public is invited to support this worthwhile cause and be a part of the evening’s events.
Guest Speakers
Guest speakers include Bill Holiday, Students for Renew founder, B.U.H.S. social studies teacher, and adjunct professor at Keene State College, who will lecture and present slides from his 2007 trip to Vietnam with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Friendship Delegation.
BUHS student, Caroline Heydinger, Vermont State Oratorical Champion and National Runner-Up, will present her capstone project about the continuing problem of land-mines and unexploded ordinance in central Vietnam and Project Renew’s efforts to aid victims unexploded ordnance weapons.
The celebration will include the world premier of Students for Renew's original short film, entitled "UXOs in Quang Tri," concerning the ongoing harm caused by war remnants. After the viewing, the film’s director, Reginald Martell, degree candidate in the MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching with Technology) program at Marlboro Graduate School, will take questions from the audience.
Musical Performance
The evening concludes with a musical performance from Red Heart the Ticker, fresh off their turn with Garrison Keillor on A Prairie Home Companion.
Red Heart the Ticker is the musical collaboration of Robin MacArthur and Tyler Gibbons, a husband and wife duo from Marlboro, Vermont. Red Heart the Ticker was born when, in 2005, they built themselves a cabin in the woods of Vermont and lived without running water. As the long cold months of winter drew on they decided they would have to start playing music together to combat cabin fever. Red Heart the Ticker (red heart for warmth, ticker for rhythm) was born. Their song, entitled “Depression,” is an integral part of Students for Renew's original short film, and they will perform this song as well.
The event has a suggested donation of $5.00, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
