Muncie Economic Empowerment will begin its 'Cooperative Power' educational series with a presentation on the unique ways to identify local resources and how to coordinate those resources to keep wealth within Muncie's borders.

Muncie Economic Empowerment would like to introduce a new paradigm in poverty reduction and local wealth building to Muncie, IN. We will reduce generational poverty by creating cooperative business ventures that will be owned and run democratically by the workers, and savings and investment initiatives to assist in anchoring that wealth locally. We would also like to build collaborative programs with like-minded organizations and community members to further build dialogue regarding poverty and to help the public become more aware of the benefits of cooperative businesses. If you'd like to learn more or help us work toward this new vision of Muncie, join us for our Community Voice Committee meeting.

One of the reasons that Ray Bradbury remains one of the best-known writers of our time is that his dreams of reaching the stars became our dreams, too. The stories that grew into The Martian Chronicles and filled the pages of The Illustrated Man paved the way for his half-century relationship with Caltech, NASA, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and all the missions that took humans to the moon and launched unmanned craft to all the planets of our solar system. Lecture illustrations show artifacts curated by the Bradbury Center, as well as a survey of Space Age art inspired by Ray Bradbury’s tales.

“That’s my business—to find the metaphor that explains the Space Age, and along the way write stories.”—Ray Bradbury at Caltech, 1975
