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.

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.

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).

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.

The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund was established in May 2004.

She brought together a group of Marine Corps spouses with diverse backgrounds to implement a plan to provide financial grants to OEF/OIF injured Marines, Sailors, and service members injured while assigned to Marine forces, and their families during their difficult road to recovery. A Governing Board of retired Generals and Officers, Senior Enlisted Marines, and others with professional backgrounds was added to help the Fund develop into a nationwide program. The Fund works closely with the Marine Corps, the Navy, and military hospitals nationwide to identify and assess the needs of OEF/OIF specific families. And, we need your help to keep this noble mission moving forward. The Fund depends on the generosity and compassion of people from all walks of life to join our quest of “serving those who preserve our freedom.”
