Winter 2010

It's been an unusually snowy winter for Roanoke which has had it's pros and cons. We got off to a slow start in 2010 because of it, and another, unrelated event that impacted our January plans to tour the historic Grandin Theatre... our friend Jason Garnett, long-time manager of The Grandin, was fired, and though the details were foggy, we believed in Jason's passion for bringing inde films to the area and some of us decided to participate in a protest of his firing.

Fortunately, since then, Jason has been able to use his passion for film and created a whole new venue for Roanoke. PLC hopes to support him in this! For now, you can visit his site here: http://theshadowboxcinema.com/

Our first official event of 2010 was on February 13th. PLC got together at Ariel's house and made about 200 Valentine's Day cupcakes for the Roanoke Rescue Mission. Ariel baked everything, while the rest of us took the easy part and decorated.













There was also some intense button-making going on...







And then more cupcakes...
