A big weekend in Charleston.
Well, we are set up for a big weekend in Charleston. Last weekend, I enjoyed the Smoke on the Water Chili Cook-off. This weekend, you can take in the activities of Festivall, Live on the Levee, Power Baseball, and many other activities. These events are just one element of a growing culture for our creative class and one that will keep and attract young professionals.
Speaking of young professionals, if you are a young professional in the area and want to kick off the weekend on Friday evening, please join the Charleston Area Alliance as is continues its young professional committee development. This committee is goal oriented, focusing on issues that impact young professionals in our area. Friday June, 23rd at 4:30 at the Charleston Alliance Offices at 1116 Smith Street, the Young Professionals Committee will welcome Erin Molchany the Executive Director of Pittsburgh’s Urban Magnet Project (PUMP). PUMP is the young professionals group in Pittsburgh, which has been going strong for ten years. We hope to will learn more about the types of programs PUMP utilizes to support young professionals and a vibrant community.
Immediately following the meeting, there are several activities occurring around Charleston. First, the Power baseball team is at home and in easy walking distance from our offices. Second, Festivall 2006 will be featuring a "Blues du Jour" event at the University of Charleston with live music from the Carpenter Ants and others, and Live a the Levee will feature Bob Thompson Jazz. The committee can visit one or serveral of these events after our meeting.
