Bits and pieces
• Bill Flynn, after nine years at the George Wiley Center in Paw¬tucket, has left to take a new position with the RI Community Food Bank. The Wiley Center has a tough act to follow in finding someone to succeed Bill. Anyone with the necessary skills and heart is encouraged to apply. Just send your resume to Search Com¬mittee, George Wiley Center, 32 East Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02860 or by e-mail to georgewileycenter1@verizon.net (no phone calls, please). The Wiley Center is a vital institution in our community and we hope that the right energetic and committed individual will magically appear.
• Good friend Scott Duhamel reminds us that a local guy, Matt Turner, has a film, Jukebox Van¬ishing America, entered in the IFC cable channel’s “IFC Uncut TV Media Lab” show. You can support the home team by voting at: medialab.ifc.com/film_detail.jsp?film_id=1056&list=1. As Scott sez: “C’mon boys and gurls, get on the bus and vote for out little documentary made by the talented young Matt Turner, filmed at the one and only Nick-a-Nee’s, and featuring, among others, my big mouth and near-perfect RhodeIslandese.” Just do it.
