Upcoming Events

September 30, 2008
Connie Kuhnle Featured in "Potpourri" Art Show at Pine Rest's Bruce and Mary Leep Gallery
A new art show featuring work by Rockford-based artist Connie Kuhnle opens September 30 at the Bruce and Mary Leep Art Gallery, located in the Postma Center on the main campus of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services, 300 68th Street, Grand Rapids.

Titled “Potpourri,” the show represents a mixture of subject matter the artist enjoys, from portraits of people to painting from life at on-location outdoor rural settings, a technique known as plein air painting. “What ties the various subject matter together is my pursuit of capturing the light, the expression of the uniqueness of personality or place and the evidence of the presence of God in all his creation,” says Kuhnle of the pieces in the exhibit.

Connie Kuhnle studied fine arts and illustration at Michigan State University and graduated from Kendall College of Art and Design. Kuhnle’s award-winning works in pastel have been shown in over 25 national, international and regional juried art competitions. Her art has been featured in several art publications and books, including Sketch magazine, “The Best of Pastel” (Quarry Books, 2000) and “200 Great Painting Ideas” (North Light Books, 1998). Her paintings can be seen in private and corporate collections throughout west Michigan as well as the Byrneboehm Gallery in Grand Rapids, Button Gallery in Douglas, and Synchronicity Gallery in Glen Arbor.

“Potpourri” runs from September 30 through January 6, 2009. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday thru Friday, additional times available by appointment. For more information, interested persons should call 616/222-4530.

Memory Screening November 11 at Two Locations
Worried about forgetfulness? Forgetfulness and memory loss are common complaints associated with aging. For most people these symptoms are the result of age-related changes in the brain. For others, however, they can be signs of a memory disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

On Tuesday, November 11, Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services will sponsor Memory Screening Day at two locations. This free, confidential screening can help determine if you or a loved one are at risk for a memory disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease, and provide information on how to get help. Health care professionals will be available for one-on-one consultations and free handouts on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia will be provided.

Over the past four years, 80% of people screened have been relieved to learn they did not have a memory disorder, and the other 20% were referred for timely treatment.

Cost is Free. Screening times are 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.
Screening locations: Pine Rest Northeast Clinic, 1700 East Beltline NE, Suite 240, Grand Rapids, phone: 616/364-1500. Pine Rest Zeeland Clinic at Zeeland Hospital's DeWitt Building, Conference Room C, 8333 Felch Street, Zeeland, phone: 616/741-3790.
