In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Wayne County Arts Alliance kicks off its winter film series with a romantic drama by the great French director Francois Truffaut, a leading light of the “New
Wave” that in the last 1950s and early 1960s that transformed European film-making. The film chronicles a tragic love affair between Catherine (played by the legendary actress Jeanne Moreau in one of
her more memorable roles) and the two friends who have fallen under her spell.
The program will be presented at 7:00 p.m. at the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, 32 Commercial Street, in Honesdale. A donation of $5.00 per person is suggested, to help support the activities of
the Arts Alliance. The film will be preceded with a short introduction and followed by a discussion. Contact the Arts Alliance at (570) 253-6850 or www.waynecountyartsalliance.org.

Dear WCAA Members,
I was contacted by Heather Nelson, who is the Director of Inmate Services at the Wayne County Correctional Facility. She is interested in starting a basic art program for the inmates at the facility
and is wondering if WCAA members would be interested in volunteering their time to help.
Typically the inmates ages range from 18-50. Heather writes, "We have males and female inmates. We have about 120 inmates but they are in 9 different units so we would have to split them up. So in one
unit we have about 30-40 guys, in females we have 20, then in all different units it ranges. Most of them are wonderful artists and they have been asking to start a program. Even if you cannot help
me maybe if you know someone that can volunteer to teach the inmates how to become a great artists."
If you are interested in helping start this program, please contact the WCAA office at 570-253-6850 or email: wcaa@waynecountyartsalliance.org.
