Kate Bush tribute held on 'Wuthering Heights Day'
A government minister was among dozens of women in Birmingham who took part in an event celebrating writer Emily Brontë and singer Kate Bush. The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever also raised funds for women's charities as the group joined thousands of people across the world recreating the video to Bush's 1978 song Wuthering Heights. Birmingham's inaugural event earlier was organised by The Heath Bookshop, in King's Heath. The proceedings were opened by Home Office minister and Birmingham Yardley MP Jess Phillips. Charities set to benefit from the event include Anawim - Birmingham's Centre for Women and WE:ARE (Women's Empowerment And Recovery Educators). Shop owner Claire Dawes said it was a "great event" to put on "as the local community support the many arts events that happen here and always support charity events." The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever events have previously taken place in locations such as Sydney, Copenhagen, Berlin, Folkestone, and Preston. For the first time this year the event was set to take place on moorland on Penistone Hill, not far from the famous Brontë sister's home in Haworth.

Cynthia Latcham, president of affordable housing organization Anawim Housing, to step down
Cynthia Latcham, president of Anawim Housing, Iowa's largest permanent supportive housing provider, will step down from her role, according to a news release. Her tentative last day is Sept. 30. Under her 12-year tenure, Latcham stood firm in Anawim's mission to create safe, affordable housing for individuals who are chronically homeless and need long-term mental or physical health care. An example is The Monarch Apartments, a project that sought to convert a former hotel into a 40-unit permanent supportive housing apartment, with on-site peer support employees. "It has been an absolute honor working at Anawim Housing. Anawim Housing plays a transformative role in our community, meeting critical housing services for hundreds of households," she said in the news release. "I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together and have full confidence in the team's ability to continue this important work.' Dan Manning, chair of the organization's board of directors, said Anawim's future "remains as bright as its past" because of Latcham's commitment to its operation, fundraising and mission.
