Benefit to help local non-profits

By Adrienne Ball · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

About three months ago, Phil Kasper, Bloomington resident and volunteer at both the Bloomington Playwrights Project and the Community Kitchen decided he would try to pull together a benefit event that would help both of the needy not-for-profit agencies. "We both recognize the need for it because we both need a great deal of support. I am constantly aware of the needs of the community kitchen. We are in a time of some economic distress and arts organizations are very hard hit when it comes to government funding," Kasper said.

By Ryan Lengerich · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU is in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, did anyone else notice? I did, maybe you did. But nationally it seems people have overlooked the upstart Hoosiers. IU is not an eleventh seeded sleeper and there was no breathtaking buzzer beater to propel the team into the next round.
