About the Donovan Fund Film Festival, from the Urbanite
Chris Muldowney has lived in the Lauraville neighborhood of northeast Baltimore for the last twenty-four years. She greets by name just about everyone who walks through the door of Red Canoe Bookstore and Café, where she’s sipping tea from a red mug on a sunny fall morning. During the week, Muldowney helps fixed-income seniors as a caseworker for Family and Children’s Services (FCS) of Central Maryland, a private nonprofit that since 1849 has nimbly and creatively acted to help children, families, and the elderly live, as Muldowney puts it, “in a humane way.” On the weekends, she turns her attention to Lauraville, where she’s helped with cleanups and rallied support for closing a notorious local bar. “You don’t have to just accept things as they are,” she says. “You can make them different.”
Muldowney’s latest success story is the Donovan Fund, created in the memory of two FCS clients, sisters Eleanor and Anne Donovan, who lived together in a small apartment near Johns Hopkins University. The sisters had no other family and relied on FCS for transportation to medical appointments and help with groceries. When Eleanor passed away in 2004, less than a year after Anne, she left behind a signed photograph of silent film star Ramón Novarro—and a humble bequest to FCS of $500.
Moved by the photo and the gift, Muldowney started a donation-only film series to benefit clients such as the Donovans, who often end up on waiting lists for city services. Held in the back room of [former] sweets shop Rock Candy at 4321 Harford Road [second floor], the monthly series consists of vintage and recent Hollywood releases, such as the 1937 Cary Grant comedy, The Awful Truth (scheduled for January 17). Attendees range from twentysomethings on up, and Stevenson University assistant film and video professor Christopher Llewellyn Reed leads casual post-viewing discussions.
Harford Road businesses have rallied around Muldowney’s cause, which has netted nearly $20,000 to date and assists between seventy-five and a hundred seniors each year. The Chameleon Café offers discounts to movie ticket holders. When Rock Candy temporarily closed during renovations, Will’s Hairstyling Shop held a fundraiser. And Grind On Café often serves dessert to moviegoers after hours. As Muldowney says, “It’s really neighbors helping neighbors.”

The first scheduled show will be May 9th featuring the comedy of the Baltimore Improv Group. This event coincides with the Hamilton Art Crawl.
In preparation for the reopening there are a number of last minute items to be done in the performance space. From simple carpentry to clean-up and painting, we still have a number of things to do. We will be having several work days between now and the 9th. If you can join us, it will make the reopening all the more impressive. We will be posting information about work days on the HAC website.

The two work days presently scheduled are:
Saturday April 25th from 10:30 – 2 PM
Saturday May 2nd from 10:30 – 2 PM

Hangout on Harford: Bright and Airy Studio C
Studio C Jewelry & Gifts (submitted by Constance Scott) "Maybe I'm partial, and maybe it's because I'm there so often, but my favorite hang out is my shop! I love hanging out, making jewelry, meeting new people as well as welcoming back repeat customers. The room is bright and airy and people really enjoy the space." vibrantearthjewels.etsy.com
Hangout on Harford: "The Vegetable Party"
"For 24 Mondays every year from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., late spring through fall, it's the One Straw Farm CSA Pick Up Site under the maple tree at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah, 5801 Harford Road. Celia, a young shareholder, calls it "the vegetable party!" No matter how hot the day, it's cool in the garden, with neighbors stopping by after work to pick up their weekly shares, babies, dogs -- and pitchers of ice water available if you're thirsty. Kids like the swing and adults like to sit and chat and pass a little time together before going home to begin their evenings. Good food and good neighbors in Hamilton! " ~Sarah Miranda

Or maybe it is a place on Harford Road that you would simply like to show-off. Whatever the place, we want to see it and share it!
Please send us a photo of your hangout choice (and a blurb for the reason of your choice) to :
organization@hamiltonlauravillemainstreet.org
All photos selected will be put on the Main Street blog (crediting the photographer) and may be used on our quarterly newsletter, the Main Street News!

Spring News from the Red Canoe
Hi everyone,
We are closed SUNDAY, APRIL 12! But we do have our 2nd Saturday Poetry reading beginning at 4pm and we will re-open Monday at 6am.
It is the spring season and we are having a blast playing in the dirt. The garden is looking lovely already and the flowers will soon be poking their heads out! So stop in for a wonderful and relaxed breakfast or lunch in the garden, a cup of coffee or tea, a visit with that friend you keep meaning to call, or a simple and quiet moment of retreat. Browse from our small but great selection of new and discounted books, green books, and poetry.
The last couple weeks in April, and weekends during May, promise to be a literary feast. Leslie Miller’s new book Let Me Eat Cake is delightful and she will be here at 4pm on the 25th of April. If you can’t get into Red Canoe to buy your book, check out our on-line bookstore: click on internet sales on our home page www.redcanoe.bz
May 2nd brings Marsha Wight Wise with her new book Neighborhoods of Baltimore. Washington Post editor and author Steve Luxenberg on May 9 with his new book Annie’s Ghosts: A Journey into a Family Secret –a book which is getting rave reviews pre-publication. It is a good one!
Finally, for the children, we are carrying Milkshake CD’s -- an excellent traveling CD for travel over the holiday weekend or any weekend. No tears, just singing and dancing in your seat!
Stop in soon for some good fresh coffee and muffins, breakfast and/or lunch, good books and the best neighbors, here at Red Canoe.
See you soon,
Nicole and Peter

Menu news from Clementine
Following is an update from Cristin and Winston from Clementine.
Well, I'm not digging out my sandals yet, but it looks like spring is gracing us with her presence!
We have some new menu items and news to pass along.
We are now running a Duroc Pork, Ginger & Sage Sausage that is not to be missed! Try it on the Charcuterie or pick up a couple of pounds to enjoy at home (please give us a 24 hour heads up for take-out sausage and pates). A spicy Mahi-Mahi Ceviche over mixed greens w/ snow peas and sesame oil is a meal unto itself although we are running it as an appetizer. Pan Seared Scallops w/ a D'Anjou Pear, Crab & Grape Tomato Salad is rich with bright flavors for balance and... Duck L'Clementine is back!! Seared Duck Breast w/ A Clementine, Gran Marnier & Ginger Sauce is a new take on an old classic.
Check out these and other offerings at http://www.bmoreclementine.com
Our expansion continues but is not done. We MIGHT have to push back our target date. The progress can be viewed from our dining room. Come check it out if you haven't already!
Finally, as of April 22nd, Clementine will no longer be serving breakfast on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our Friday, Saturday & Sunday breakfasts will continue with our house made sausages, scrambles and assorted other delicacies, but our new hours will be:
Wednesday & Thusday 11 a.m-9 p.m
Friday, Saturday & Sunday 8:30 a.m- 9 p.m.
Thank you, as always, for your support!
