November, 2009 – RPB Rotary’s Party in the Park

0

Rotary’s PARTY in the Park 2!!

 

A Caribbean Carnival Fiesta

 

The Royal Palm Beach Rotary Club will stage a Caribbean Carnival Fiesta on Sunday, November 22, 2009, from 10.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. The venue will be the Micanopy Pavilion, Okeeheelee Park on Forest Hill Boulevard, in West Palm Beach.

 

This will be a full-day celebration, with an emphasis on highlighting the different cultures, ethnicities, arts and customs of the countries of the Caribbean, along with those of Latin America and other cultural diversities found in Palm Beach County. 

 

Activities will include non-stop music, cultural displays and attractions from the islands of the Caribbean, along with dance displays from the South Florida area. There will be a Parade of Masquerade Bands featuring Caribbean costumes.

 

This is an important annual celebration hosted by the Royal Palm Beach Rotary Club. The sole aim is to raise money to enable the Rotary Club to continue their service, not only to the local community, but also to the national and international communities. Last year, we were able to give scholarships to graduating High School students to help them with college expenses, send badly needed financial aid to the hurricane victims of Texas and Haiti, provide Thanksgiving Dinners to over three hundred needy community members, provide financial assistance to Pregnant and Addicted mothers (PANDA), and help stock the Food Pantry at a local church. This year, due to the bad economic climate, we will be providing Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to needy families..

 

For further information, please contact Kathleen Lehner at 561-697-8800 or Anthony Armour at 561-371-6324.

November, 2009 – Improv Fundraising Nights

Improv

Putting the FUN into Fundraising at the Improv

 

The Improv at CityPlace in West Palm Beach has helped many area organizations raise some pretty significant money through our “Fundraising through laughter” program, as we give back 70% of the proceeds to your organization

 

The concept is pretty simple and straightforward…we select an evening,  Sunday – Thursday. We print you a custom ticket for your organization and it helps to have a lot of volunteers getting involved. (If you sell 150 tickets, for example, your group will earn 70% which equates to $2,100.) The cost of each ticket is $20 and it admits 2 adults…this is a tremendous value as they are actually getting to see a show at a very reduced price.  Usually, tickets are $30.00 each and admit one.  This is much better than a raffle for a television or merchandise . . . because most people don’t get anything from a raffle.  Here everyone wins because they have fun. It is up to you and your team/organization, as to how much time to allow for the selling of the tickets. 

 

Just a few of the upcoming events include a fundraiser for The Cahill Foundation, an organization raising money for the brain cancer cluster awareness fund on Wednesday, December 9th with comedian Greg Morton.  In addition, we work with many of our local youth sports teams; the Marines will present a Toys for Tots Fundraiser on Thursday, November 19th with comedian Frank DelPizzo.

Binks Forest Literacy Night

In a continued effort to enrich, enhance and promote reading to the students, Binks Forest Elementary sponsored a “Literacy Night” on October 29th. This is just one of the many events held during the school year to encourage involvement in education and in the community. During the event students were able to swap books, socialize and play games while enjoying Chic-Fil-A in the cafeteria. They were then treated to Celebrity Storytelling which included Village of Wellington Mayor Darell Bowen as well as several teachers from the school. The evening ended with a Vocabulary Parade where students strutted outside in costumes portraying assigned words such as Miss Place, Sir Plus and Butter Fly. Photos by Lois Spatz.

Saturday November 7   Reiki 2    9:30am to 5:30pm  $150 includes manuals

 

This workshop is open to all who have done Reiki First Degree whether with Pearl or another teacher (in which case you will need to provide your Reiki 1 certificate). Reiki Second Degree opens you up to a whole new and much deeper level of Reiki energy: a quantum leap forward! You will receive the Reiki 2 attunement and this will connect you to three sacred Reiki symbols. You will learn how to draw the symbols, how to apply them and how to work with these symbols when giving a Reiki treatment. You also learn the words of power which accompany them.. A particular focus of Reiki Second Degree is learning how to project distant healing. Each participant will get plenty of practical hands on experience of giving a Reiki treatment using the symbols and also of sending Reiki to someone not physically present. You will be aware immediately how using the symbols greatly enhances your Reiki energy! You will also receive a Reiki treatment. You will receive Second Degree Reiki certification enabling you to continue to Reiki 3a and eventually Master level should you wish.

Sun November 8   Native American Dreamcatcher craftshop   11:30am to 3:30pm approx   $35 Led by Grandfather Rick McBride

 

Have you ever wanted to make your very own dreamcatcher? Today you will learn all about dreamcatchers and learn the technique of weaving that web of protection that separates the good dreams from the bad ones. You will learn on a covered fixed steel hoop, but we will use sinew rather than monofilament line so that you will get used to using more natural materials. You will then make a second dreamcatcher on a natural vine hoop. You will decorate your dreamcatcher with beads and/or feathers provided for you. If you like, bring your own beads, stones (small and drilled), and feathers, whatever you have to decorate your dreamcatcher with. Once you learn the technique you can apply it to many different shapes and objects. Iktome (Spider) brings us creativity and she links the past, present, and future, which gives us a better perspective from which to understand and make sense out of the web of our own life. Children aged 7 or over are welcome with a parent (1 child per parent).
Dreamcatchers also make wonderful presents, something to think about with the Holidays coming up! Rick says: “The Elders always told me when I give something it should be the best I have. I try to do this. Giving something I made is giving the best I have; there’s a little bit of me in the gift. You want a connection with someone, give them something you made.”

 

Grandfather Rick is a mixed blood Tsalagi who has been a life-long student of American Indian Lifeways, actively participating in Native American ceremony for 25 years. He was formally taught advanced principles of the Medicine Wheel by Cheyenne Elder Hyemeyohsts Storm in 1994. He is a Sundancer and traditionally trained and authorized inipi (sweat lodge) leader with deep experience. Rick sees his place as that of “translator” of the Native American Lifeways to help anybody sincerely interested in learning how to become a better human being, his hope being to help achieve a proper balance in human race consciousnessFor further information, visit his website: www.mxdblood.com

Sunday November 8     Healing Drumming Circle   Starts 4pm    Donation  Led by Grandfather Rick McBride

 

Bring your Native American style hand drums and rattles as we pray and sing for Global Peace and Personal Healing by drumming up the Spirits of the Land. Great personal healing occurs as the vibrations call the Spirits and wake up our hearts. Please feel free to join us even if you do not have your own drum or rattle: there will be some drums and rattles to share and learn on. If you do not wish to drum, join in to help us pray, sing and enjoy listening. Rick starts by smudging, and singing a protection song; he then calls the Four Winds, which puts us in ceremony, thereby allowing him to sing the sacred songs.

You will also have the opportunity to stand in the middle of the circle and receive a very powerful individual drum healing from Grandfather Rick. You will feel the healing energy coming from his special healing drum as he stands in front of you and drums close to you. Children are very welcome also (accompanied by a parent). This event is held indoors and is thus not dependent on weather conditions.

 

Saturday November 14      Animal Communication  Level 1     10am to 4pm      $85 pay by FRIDAY 6 November or $95 afterwards                          Led by Jo-ann Escott, National Animal Communicator and Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner  

An animal communicator has the ability to help you and your pet understand each other, solve behavior problems and relay messages. This workshop will cover the concept of telepathic communication with animals and how you can access this ability. Through various exercises you will get the feel of a telepathic exchange. We will focus on the foundation and basics of animal communication and how to open your heart and mind to telepathic information, in the form of words, sounds, pictures, emotions or sensations. We will be communicating with our own animals who are still presently with us on the earth plane. As time permits we will discuss various animal healing modalities and options. Animal Communication is used to further our understanding of pets and strengthen human-animal relationships. All people have the ability to communicate with animals; all one needs to have is an open mind, open heart and a true desire to help our animal companions. Please bring plenty of photos of your own pets for practice.

Jo-ann Escott is a National Animal Communicator, a Reiki Master, a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner and an experienced workshop leader.

Registration deadline for this workshop is WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 11th.

 

 

Sunday November 15   Reiki 1    9:30am to 5:30pm  $145 (includes 2 manuals)

 

Nowadays there is increasing knowledge of and interest in the healing technique of Reiki; many people become interested as they have the desire to help others but what is often not understood is that Reiki is also a wonderful way to heal ourselves. Reiki is a form of natural healing for body, mind, emotions and spirit. It means “spiritually guided (Rei) life force energy (Ki).”  We all have life force energy flowing through us and if it is low we can have health problems. Receiving Reiki is very relaxing and the energy pathways in the body receive energy, guided to go where it can be of most use. During a Reiki treatment your vibratory level is raised: Reiki addresses blocks in the energy flow, healing negative energy and allowing healthy energy to flow freely. Reiki can be received in addition to medical treatment and can be given to anyone, young or old, to children, pets, even plants.  In these difficult times, it is an excellent way to deal with stress!

 

In the Reiki Level 1 workshop you will learn how Reiki started, how to give a level treatment to yourself and others and you will receive the four attunements of Reiki 1, permanently linking you to the Reiki source. You will learn the hand positions for self-healing and for channeling Reiki to others. You will receive two detailed manuals providing you with a great deal of information about Reiki and how to use it. Each workshop participant will receive and give a Reiki treatment during the course of the day, helping you to build confidence. There will be time for questions so that your understanding of this powerful healing method can be deepened. You will receive Reiki 1 certification, which will allow you to continue your Reiki studies should you wish. To ensure everybody gets individual attention, only 6 people are accepted. No previous knowledge is needed. Pearl teaches the Usui approach to Reiki.
