On Saturday, April 26th, Catonsville held its first ever Artstravaganza!  Organized  by the Baltimore Artists Guild, a Baltimore County non-profit dedicated to promoting the arts and raising awareness within the county, Artstravaganza featured local artists, live music, art performances, food trucks and other organizations within Catonsville.   The Catonsville Women's Giving Circle was one of the fortunate organizations given the opportunity to have a booth at this event, which took place at 15 Mellor Avenue.  

A couple of thousand people attended the event on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.  Volunteers from The Catonsville Women's GIving Circle set up a booth to promote the giving circle and it's upcoming events, distribute information and register new members.  Artstravaganza was a huge success for all involved, and we hope The Catonsville Women's Giving Circle will continue to be a part of future events.

The 11th Annual PJ Schafer Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Thursday June 19, 2014 at the Compass Pointe Golf Club.  The proceeds of the PJ Schafer Memorial Golf Tournament support research at The Johns Hopkins Heart Institute and The Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease to fund research into the prevention of sudden cardiac death and premature heart disease. Following the tournament each year a committee of Johns Hopkins cardiologists selects a talented young cardiologist who has recently begun his or her career in one of these areas of cardiovascular research. The 2012 recipient of the PJ Schafer Memorial Research Grant is Dr. Chiadi Ndumele. His research focuses on better characterizing the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular disease.
