Finger Lakes exhibit
Owasco Lake
The Finger Lakes: Above and Below
May 31 - July 12
- Opening Reception May 31, 6-8 PM -
Wood Library
134 North Main St
Canandaigua, NY
Livonia artist and educator Gloria Betlem expresses her love of the Finger Lakes through her art.
This unique body of work includes eleven paintings, one for each of the Finger Lakes, integrating an aerial view with iconic and personal imagery related to each lake. Running below this work is a representation illustrating the geological beds and how injected fracking chemicals from horizontal hydraulic fracturing wells, travel through the shale beds and out into aquifer, water wells, lakes and rivers. Geologists and other specialists were Betlem's mentors to ensure the information was correct. The viewer can get a clear picture of the beauty our region holds, along with an understanding of what the consequences could be if fracking is allowed here. Other landscape paintings of the Finger Lakes will be included in her exhibit to round out the Finger Lakes experience.

The America Invents Act
Brighton Town Hall - Downstairs Meeting Room
25 May 2012 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM
Presented by Dave Bassett
Bring a cup of your favorite brew and enjoy cookies, networking, and our program.
The recently signed America Invents Act will bring many changes to the US Patent System including the conversion from a ‘first to invent’ to a ‘first inventor to file’ system. Many inventors and small business owners were unsure of how the patenting system works and what value a patent provides for their intellectual property prior to these landmark changes. Dave Bassett, President, Bassett Statistical Company LLC will review: the patenting process and the protections patents provide to inventors; how these changes to the law will affect inventors; and what steps inventors should take to preserve their intellectual property and the timing of these actions.
In order to promote a professional atmosphere, attire is business casual for all attendees.
Open to the public.
No charge for RPCN members. $8.00 for non-members.

Kickstarter Campaign for Genesee Pottery
The Genesee Pottery has been providing instruction and access to the Rochester community for 40 years. In order to keep providing this opportunity, they need to upgrade their equipment to be more safe, efficient, and environmentally-friendly. Without a proper kiln, they won't be able to provide the type of services to groups, including the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, pre-schoolers, summer campers, and the hundreds of other students and renters that fill the space during the year.
Your pledge at any level would get us closer to our goal of continuing our mission for the next 40 years, and celebrating with a retrospective show of past and current students.
