July, 2009 – A Letter from G-Star’s Gregory Hauptner

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 12, 2009

 

A letter from Producer Gregory Hauptner to the cast & crew of this summer’s G-Star feature film [in West Palm Beach] It’s a Dog Gone Tale: Destiny’s Stand: 

 

To the Destiny’s Stand Cast & Crew;

 

I would like to thank you all for your excellent work performed on our film.  When I say “our film” I mean “your” film.  You did it.  It could not have happened without you.  There were many seasoned film veterans on set during the shoot in addition to the Palm Beach community members who stepped in to participate, thanks to their confidence in and support of you. 

 

The following film industry-related professionals shared rave reviews on how well the set was run and how well you performed your jobs: Barry Bostwick (The Hannah Montana: The Movie, Spin City), Ron Palillo (The Guardians, Welcome Back Kotter), Ruth Paul from SAG, Academy Award winner Dean Lyon (Lord of the Rings trilogy, Armageddon, Independence Day, Air Force One), Academy Award winner Beau Rogers (Gods and Monsters), Hollywood Props Master Art Shippee (The Sixth Sense, Disturbia, Without a Paddle, Pretty in Pink) and Susan Jackson from American Humane Film & TV Unit [who flew directly from monitoring the set of the $250 million remake of Ben Hur in Morocco to our G-Star set].  These people are credited for their involvement in some of Hollywood’s biggest films ever made and know what a true movie set is like. 

 

Star Barry Bostwick had this to say about the film in an email to the Producer.  “Greg [Hauptner], the photos look great and its obvious that everyone enjoyed a great time…but, nobody more so than me…keep me posted with updates and gossip…thanks for everything you did to make my short stay so memorable and comfortable…Barry”

 

Every movie has obstacles to overcome, especially during the shoot’s first week.  As Producer Joe Reilly said, “True professionalism shows itself when dealing with obstacles and making it work, not when everything is simply going smoothly.”

 

You, the G-Star cast & crew of Destiny’s Stand, persevered and excelled at your jobs. I am very proud of each of you.  You have worked on a SAG union film.  You have now earned your stalwart reputation as true professionals in the film industry.  You also earned a Destiny’s Stand T-shirt. Each of you who continued your responsibilities through to the very end of this production will find your names in the credits of this film and on IMDB.com.  Thank you for your hard work and your continued faith in both G-Star and Destiny’s Stand.  Somewhere down the road, you will take pride in knowing that you were in the first film to start a true film industry here in Palm Beach County.  Congratulations!

July, 2009 – Wellington Cares Clearinghouse

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wellington Cares Clearinghouse

Greetings, Friends!  
       I’m back from the month in Australia and a week at Friends General Conference and the Wellington Cares Clearinghouse porch is open!  Donations continue to pour in, thanks to all you generous people.  A special thanks to the Wellington Mom’s Club for all the beautiful baby items.  Hope you’re all doing ok in these difficult economic times.
       There have been some changes in the last 2 months.  The Glades Area Pantries in Pahokee has closed, at least temporarily, and moved operations to Trinity International Church in Lake Worth.  The same procedures apply, same donations are accepted, and Ron Sherman still comes to my house from Pahokee Monday, Thurs, Friday or Sat.  One good bit of news from this is that the church ships containers to Haiti and is willing to take pill vials.  So bring ’em on!  (If you can, put small ones inside large.)
        7″ knitted or crocheted squares have been removed from the donation’s list.  I just got overwhelmed by those bags of squares!  But lap robes are still welcomed by the Pahokee Nursing Home & Ron is glad to drop them off.  He’ll also take medical supplies to a doctor in Pahokee, but pills must be within shelf life date and in blister packs.  
        We finally heard from Moira Morgan in Kingston, Jamaica that she got the kids’ books, clothes, toys and adult diapers, so we know Food For the Poor does get through.  We’ll probably be taking another shipment to them in the fall.  FFTP has a specific list of donations, mostly anything but adult clothing.  
         Here’s the latest press release for hotel samples.  Two women at the Quaker Meeting volunteer at Caring Kitchen in Boca Raton, for the working poor and homeless, and are very glad to get the hygiene kits.  
          Soon we’ll be putting together more midwife kits for Haiti.  We seem to have plenty of beautiful crocheted caps and onesies, but need a lot more new or gently used receiving blankets.   
                       Thanks, thanks, and more thanks for all you do, try to stay cool, & much love, Ellie

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 Announcing the Western Executives’ 1st “SALAD DAYS”

A Delicious Experience of Healthy Eating and Celebrating a Greener Planet

 

The “Western Executives” is a social club for business owners primarily in the Western communities of Palm Beach County.

Troy Webster, the founder of the Western Executives, saw an opportunity to help raise money for a local farm worker’s charity by organizing the first “SALAD DAYS” special event, to be held at the  International Polo Club in Wellington, on Saturday, August 1st, 2009.

The event starts at 1:00 pm and ends at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $10.00 in advance (available online) or $15.00 at the door. Vendor applications can be emailed to [email protected].

Residents of the Western Communities are being called to participate and come together in order to support this meaningful fundraising event.

Webster says that the International Polo Club is a perfect place to showcase such a feast for the senses, and he feels that people will support the idea of helping farm worker’s kids with school supplies, while enjoying an afternoon of healthy food and entertainment.

Visitors may bring crayons, pencils, backpacks, calculators and other school supplies for chances to win fabulous prizes.

There will be plenty of food sampling, “Best Salad” competition, demonstration by the local home brewers club, business expo/fair, raffle and silent auction.

The Western Executives volunteer their time and do not get compensation as all profit goes directly to the Farmworker Council, a non-profit local charity.

 For more information, call Ingrid at (561) 793 5509.
