Today the South Florida Science Museum announced the launch of Blue Star Museums, a partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 700 museums across America to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families now through Labor Day.

 

 

 

“We are thrilled to offer free admission to those who are currently serving our country and their families,” said Lew Crampton, chief executive officer for the South Florida Science Museum. “We are happy to be able to offer families the opportunity to come together and experience more than 50 hands-on exhibits that the South Florida Science Museum offers at no cost.”

 “There have always been wonderful examples of partnerships between museums and military installations, but the scale of this gift from the museum communities to military families is thrilling,” said Kathy Roth-Douquet, Blue Star families chairman. “Military families work hard for this country, and it is gratifying for us to be recognized for that.”

More than 700 museums in all 50 states and the District of Columbia are taking part in the initiative. The American Association of Museums, the Association of Art Museum Directors, and the Association of Children’s Museums each sent a letter from NEA Chairman Landesman inviting museums to participate in this program.

Blue Star Museums runs from now until Labor Day, Sept. 6. The free admission program is available to any bearer of a Geneva Convention Common Access Card (CAC), a DD Form 1173, or a DD Form 1173-1, which includes active duty military and five immediate family members, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserve. The complete list of participating Blue Star Museums is available at www.arts.gov.

 The South Florida Science Museum provides curious minds of all ages with an entertaining and educational journey through science and technology. Located in West Palm Beach, the museum features more than 50 hands-on exhibits, a digital planetarium, freshwater and saltwater aquariums, as well as natural history exhibitions.

Urban League Wins National Awards 

 

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The NULITES of Palm Beach County have a lot to celebrate. During the National Urban League’s annual convention, the group took top honors as Chapter of the Year and Tamesha Chambers won NULITER of the Year.


“I’m thankful for this, I’m thankful for you,” said program coordinator Gloria Scott during a NULITES celebration meeting Thursday. “I don’t consider this work, I consider it a passion and when you love what you do, you don’t call it work,” Gloria explained.


As their mentor, Gloria was honored as “Caring Adult of the Year.”


“All I can remember is one of the kids saying ‘that’s you get up!’ And I sat there for a few minutes before it really sunk in….I feel privileged to impart something in these children that they will remember.”


For the past six years Gloria has been a driving force, pushing the students to excel in education, leadership, and community service. “The National Urban League NULITES program is a arm of the school, the home, the community…We’re filling in the gaps.”


 “We nurture them, I always tell them we’re a family…If one succeeds we all succeed,” Gloria said.


NULITES meet monthly on the 1st Thursday of each month starting at 6:00 pm at the Urban League. Dinner is provided. To join you must be ages 10-18 and complete the NULITES application.


For more information please contact Gloria Scott at 561.833.1461 ext 3012 or email gscott@ulpbc.org or visit the Urban League Palm Beach County.
