Dear Readers,

 

Happy November and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 

 

 

This month we introduce a new monthly columnist, who came up with the idea for her article after thinking about how many dog owners there are in our Around Wellington area.  Check out “Dog Walkin’ Wellington” by Barbara Phillippi.  By the way, Barbara must have a lot of energy – she currently has Jack Russells.

 

If you enjoy a good practical joke, you might want to take a lesson from the unparalleled practical joker that Wendell Abern writes about in “Cantankerously Yours” this month – Mulroy. Get a window into the twisted world of Wendell Abern!

 

If you’re a parent or a teacher, you might remember the children’s stories “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” by Judith Viorst. This month “Cultural Corner” writer Marla E Schwartz had the opportunity to interview Viorst about her writings, including her most recent book, “Unexpectedly Eighty.” If you’re interested in meeting a lot of terrific, contemporary writers, don’t miss this month’s Miami Book Fair (Nov. 13 -20th), which Marla also writes about in “AW Stories of the Month.”

 

Welcome to our new advertisers LGF Event Party Planner (Leslie Garcia-Furey), the Palm Beach Zoo and U.S. Building Inspectors!  Actually it’s a welcome back to the Palm Beach Zoo and U.S. Building Inspectors. See their three ads on AroundWellington.com – with the Palm Beach Zoo as a banner ad and left-side ad, and LGF Event (Party Planner) and U.S. Building Inspectors on the right side of our website. 

 

For our “AW Spotlight” business, this month I had the pleasure of interviewing Elissa Pearl of the Thomas & Pearl Law Firm. They specialize in accident and injury law, with over 100 years of collective experience.  As their client Andrew Jimes says, “I have been a client of Thomas & Pearl for several years. They have been great help in dealing with my car accident and injury case disputes over commissions with my broker, and several personal matters where in every case I found them top notch and honest in their dealings.” They’ve also included a helpful list of “Do’s and Don’ts” of Car Accidents” at the end of the article. Check it out and be informed!

 

Are you looking to save a few dollars and find the “kids eat free” deals Around Wellington?  Check out our “Kids’ Corner,” which Shawn Thompson updates monthly, finding which restaurants and which days kids eat free.  Thank you, Shawn!

 

Have you ever felt like a lucky bastard – just to be alive?  And it’s a good feeling, just in time for Thanksgiving.  Well, just consider the odds if you were a sea turtle.  Yes, only one in every 1,000 to 10,000 will survive because of the many hazards they come across.  Check out “Living Green” for some more of the sea turtle’s story.

 

We all know that Thanksgiving falls in November, but what about some of the other holidays and events that occur every November?  “Teen Talk” writer Stephanie Courtois gives us a sampling of these other holidays this month.

 

We always have new photos posted on our Photo Galleries page, including quite a few recent ones.  Thanks to photographer Carol Porter for her terrific coverage of so many local events!  Check them out…

 

 

  • The PW Chamber “State of the Cities” Luncheon
  • Occupy Lake Worth (the first and second events)
  • The 2nd Annual Health & Wellness Festival
  • Women of the Western Communities
  • And more!

 

As usual, this is just a sample of what you can find on AroundWellington.com this November.  See below menu for more articles, photos and information.  Thanks so much to our readers, writers and advertisers. We love our Around Wellington community!  And don’t forget to enter our contest! You could be the winner of a 4-pack of tickets to the Palm Beach Zoo!! And coming up after that, we will have a contest for two family packs of tickets to SalsaFest (happening this November).

THANKS and see you “Around Wellington!”
