According to Mary Cox, in the Office of Alumni Relations at Seton Hill University "Hundreds of are to be mailed for the April 15th concert."

In a meeting yesterday, Mary Cox, from the Office of Alumni Relations, Seton Hill University, and who previously worked as the Administrative Assistant to current President, JoAnne Boyle, assured Arthur Nobile, Jr. that everyone is excited about his return and are looking forward to the April 15th performance and lecture very much. The concert, which is intended to support, in part, The Art Department, is also envisioned to be an opportunity for Nobile to discuss community awareness, such as that he strives to offer to mental health, the researching of bipolar disorder, behavior health studies and mental health, especially that of young adults. "I am humbled to return to Seton Hill and I told Mary that. This performance may lead the way wherein the sponsoring of a workshop, a weekend event on development, Philanthropy and the Medical Arts could come about. The turnout would indicate if there is enough interest and support within western Pennsylvania to support a curriculum at The University one day."

"Mary and Lilia influenced me so much."

Nobile says "My education was made special becuase it took place within the walls of a Catholic liberal arts institution that was founded by women."

And he is pleased that it was a "bunch of good nuns".

Process underway for Foundation's 501(c)

According to Nobile, "...The Foundation's Mission Statement and Vision Statement are the first item of buiness to attend to at this time."

Arthur Nobile says "Incorporation of the name 'Mellon' important to the future of Philanthropy in today's climate."

Later today, Mr. Nobile will begin the process of acquiring a 501(c)3 from the Federal governemnt. This will enable The Foundation to solicit gifts from possible donors. It will also enable The Foundation to operate and partner with other foundations and groups of interest throughout south Florida.

The Foundation is carefully considering its future endeavors, especially the joint venture with Nobilare, LLC in which the exploitation of natural resources, by way of environmentally safe methods, is implemented. Nobile says "...this is a learning moment for both the for-profit and not-for-profit sector. In the end, mental health and support of behavioral health centers is the goal, along with education in the same area. Health care is one thing life care is another. To me, it's all about peace of mind and getting your head clear and free. This is the goal to achieve. It will help the environment around you in the long run and its good to partner in philanthropy with the name "Mellon" incorporated for this really brings The Art of Philanthropy to the forefront and helps people understand. Everyone can relate to billions of dollars being made and billions being given away when you use the name "Mellon" for good and to help. After all the money The Mellon Family has made by way of the oil industry, and all the money which has been given away under the same name, its an honor to support a new way of giving along with the integrity of such a historicity." I am proud to be from western Pennsylvania.

Foundation founder says For-profit and not-for-profit education important -- Philanthropic Giving at work is a learning experience.

"Because of the good I have enjoyed the last few weeks, I commit The Arthur Mellon Nobile Foundation, Inc. and Nobilare, LLC to working with The Art Department of Seton Hill, namely Maureen Vissat, to establish a program wherein "The Art of Philanthropy" could be offered and funded by myself. In turn this could work well to satisfy a personal obligation, one to the study of Behavior Health throughout western Pennsylvania. This could work well with Philanthropy's call to support The Medical Arts, not to mention a Catholic education."
