Harford County Public Library
The Winds & Words of War – WW I Collection of Vintage Posters Coming to Harford County Public Library
The Winds & Words of War: Posters and Prints from the San Antonio Public Library, a collection of 40 framed vintage posters bequeathed to the San Antonio Public Library by eclectic collector Harry Hertzberg, will be on display at Harford County Public Library beginning March 20th through May 31, 2010. Harford County Public Library (HCPL) is only one of 7 locations in the nation to house the exhibit.
During World War I, the U.S. Office of Public Information formed a committee chaired by renowned illustrator Charles Dana Gibson to create a line of posters to mobilize the American public on behalf of the war. Members of the committee included Haskill Coffin, Howard Chandler Christy, and the creator of “Uncle Sam Wants You,” James Montgomery Flagg.
These unique lithographs feature famous images of patriotic themes and messages, including several created for international groups interested in supporting the war by cultivating recent immigrants and new American citizens. The words and text used, as well as the powerful imagery, convey the sense of urgency as well as the mass marketing effect of advertising a war for the first time in modern history. These works provide a fascinating window into the era, and the beginnings of the American effort in support of the war known variously as the “Great War,” “the war to end all wars,“ and “the war to make the world safe for democracy.”
The exhibit, which is free and open to the public, will be on display at the Bel Air and Jarrettsville Branch of the Harford County Public Library on Monday, Friday and Saturdays from 10 am – 5 pm and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 1 pm to 8 pm. Guided group tours are also available upon request. A full color, glossy 64-page catalog featuring the prints and posters in The Winds and Words of War collection will be available for sale at the Bel Air and Jarrettsville branches. The commemorative book includes essays by renowned authorities.
Trained docents will be available at both the Bel Air and Jarrettsville exhibits. Docents will provide interesting facts and details about the exhibit and the leading artists who were commissioned to create them. If you are interested in volunteering to be a docent please contact Susan Burdette, Program and Community Relations Specialist at 410 273 5600 x2243.
There are several events scheduled in celebration of The Winds and Words of War exhibit. A Preview Party will be held on March 19th at the Bel Air branch from 5 – 7 pm. Tickets for this sneak peak look at the exhibit are $20 each.
The library’s annual Night Out @ the Library will feature the exhibit’s curator, Allison Hays Lane. This event takes place on April 30th from 7 – 9 pm at the Jarrettsville branch. Tickets for this event are $30 each. Tickets for both of these events go on sale on February 22nd and will be available online at hcplonline.info.
A film series, lead by Jack and Jan Hirschfeld, will take place at the Havre de Grace branch on March 24, 31, April 7, May 5, 12, 19 and will include pre and post-screening discussions of six films that capture different points of view during the World War I era. There will be two showings each day at 1 pm and 5:30 pm. Tickets are free but seating is limited.
At the Whiteford branch, Michael Lasser will speak about popular songs of World War I and their social values, both comic and revealing of attitudes of the time. This program is on May 14 at 6:30 pm. Registration is required.
Bel Air, Edgewood and Joppa will also be hosting book discussion groups on WW I literature.

Come hear Leading Women of Harford County speak on Women's Financial, Medical, Physical and Emotional Health, and much more!
The Harford County Commission for Women will host its Second Annual Women’s Conference in Bel Air, to recognize leading Harford County Women and celebrate Women’s History Month.

The target audience is women of Harford County including young women currently in high school, working women, stay-at-home women, and senior citizens. Any woman in Harford County with an interest for knowledge is welcome to attend.
The mission of the Commission, “To be the visible resource for Harford County women in their endeavor for social, political and economic equality” clearly defines an advocacy position, and an annual conference is one way to place the mission into practice.
The conference will highlight several areas of concern for women in Harford County and throughout the state of Maryland by informing, advising, and reviewing topics of interest that relate to women’s issues. “Harford County’s Healthy Woman” will be the underlying theme for this year’s conference, and the registration link below lists confirmed speakers to-date.

29th Annual Havre de Grace Decoy and Wildlife Arts Festival
April 30th, May 2nd and May 3rd
Dear Fellow Chamber Members: As some of you may know, I joined the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum’s Board of Directors earlier this year. As I suspect all of you know, it has been a tough year for nonprofits and the Decoy Museum expects next year to be even more challenging as state, local and city governments struggle to maintain grants that have historically been an important part of the Museum’s funding. That makes the success of this upcoming year’s 29th Annual Decoy and Wildlife Arts Festival even more important as it is the Museum’s major fund raiser each year. It also happens to be one of the County’s major tourist events so it attracts a lot of attention and draws both exhibitors and visitors from well beyond our local borders.
Your organization can become a sponsor of the Festival for as little as $250. I am attaching a copy of this year’s solicitation letter, a cover of our festival magazine, a sponsorship benefit guide and a sponsorship commitment form, which together explain some of the benefits of sponsorship. If you think your company or organization might be interested in becoming a sponsor, please let me know and I will make sure that a complete package is sent to you, including last year’s full color festival issue magazine that depicts some of the ad exposure you could expect. An expression of interest on your part at this stage is by no means a commitment and you won’t hurt my feelings if you ultimately decide against sponsoring this year’s event.
Even if you have no interest in being a sponsor, we would still love to see you at the event this next year on April 30th, May 2nd and May 3rd. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
Warmest Regards, Scott H. Krieger
