<strong>FPL’s Manatee Lagoon Hosts its Seventh Annual ManateeFest Celebration</strong> 

Free, in-person festival with activities for all ages  

to learn about and show appreciation for Florida manatees  

RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 9, 2023) — Manatee Lagoon – An FPL Eco-Discovery Center® is hosting its seventh annual ManateeFest on Saturday, Feb. 4 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ManateeFest 2023 attendees can enjoy free, family-friendly activities that celebrate Florida’s iconic manatees and local waterways. In addition to in-person activities, this event will feature a ManateeFest mobile event app, which will serve as a unique tool to keep all visitors in the know ahead of and during the festival. 

“For the seventh year in a row, ManateeFest will bring together locals and visitors alike to celebrate the beloved and iconic Florida manatee,” said Pam Rauch, vice president of external affairs and economic development for Florida Power & Light Company (FPL). “FPL constructed Manatee Lagoon seven years ago to inspire communities to preserve and protect Florida’s wildlife for future generations. We hope ManateeFest 2023 plays a key role in doing just that by raising awareness around these beloved local creatures.” 

During the event, guests can visit the Conservation Pledge Station and make a pledge to help protect manatees and their habitat. Guests are also welcome to interact with environmental exhibitors, help Mia the Manatee complete her conservation challenge by participating in a game called “Mia’s Conservation Mission,” and listen to educational presentations throughout the day.  

ManateeFest 2023 activities at Manatee Lagoon feature something for everyone:  

  • Family Fun for All Ages: Young manatee enthusiasts can enjoy a KidsFunZone, with activities such as a Coastal Cleanup and Recycling Relay Race, the ever-popular free sea-life themed face painting, free caricature portraits, giant sea-life puzzles and a sidewalk chalk station. Educational Coastal Chats, environmental exhibitors and arts and crafts vendors round out a full festival experience. 
  • Local Shops & Eats: Visitors can peruse and support various local small businesses and grab a bite from a delicious variety of food purveyors along the way.  
  • ManateeFest’s Relaxation Stations & Live Music: Guests can find moments of serenity during the festival fun in these special spots. Visitors can enjoy the tropical ambiance, comfortable Adirondack chair seating, picturesque views of the Lake Worth Lagoon and live steel drum music performances. Attendees are encouraged to look for the large, clear tents designating the three spots: the Main Stage Relaxation Station (closest to the Main Stage), the Lagoon Relaxation Station (southernmost waterfront tent) and the Coastal Relaxation Station (northernmost waterfront tent).  

In line with Manatee Lagoon’s commitment to conservation, guests can download and access the ManateeFest 2023 mobile event app. This app supports Manatee Lagoon’s environmental mission by reducing the need for paper materials at the festival. It serves as a one-stop shop for all ManateeFest needs by including an event schedule, festival map and more. The app also has the online gift store with items for sale, including items that vendors will be selling at the in-person festival. The online gift store will feature the commemorative ManateeFest 2023 shirt, which once again features an attractive marine-themed design from world-renowned artist and conservationist, Guy Harvey. Manatee Lagoon partners with the Guy Harvey Foundation as they collaborate with local and international organizations to conduct scientific research and host educational programs aimed at better understanding and conserving the ocean environment.

“I want to personally thank Board member Norma and her husband Leonard for their outstanding generosity, and for leading by example,” said Diane Quinn, CEO of the Kravis Center. “They are strong advocates for the Center’s education programming and essentially doubled their financial support with this matching challenge by inspiring others to support our programs. As we celebrate three decades of excellence in the performing arts, we are fortunate to have many long-term supporters– in fact, more than 500 donors have given consistently each year for the past 30 years. Kravis Center donors enjoy many privileges, including the opportunity to purchase tickets before the public to Kravis Center presented events and our spectacular Kravis On Broadway series.”

The Klorfines are well known for their generous philanthropic giving through the Leonard and Norma Klorfine Foundation to institutions involved in culture, arts, education and in medical research. 

“The Kravis Center’s commitment to providing outstanding entertainment with affordable prices, children’s educational programs, and a wide range of community outreach events is possible in part because of the generous donations the Center receives,” said Ms. Klorfine. “Arts education is an important part of our lives. We are thrilled the community feels the same way and we were able to reach our $1 million matching goal.”

Author Dr. Mitch’s new book “A Taxing Problem: The Psychologist’s Prescription for a Just Tax System” examines the history of taxation

Author Dr. Mitch’s new book “A Taxing Problem: The Psychologist’s Prescription for a Just Tax System” examines the history of taxation

Dr. Mitch has completed his new book “A Taxing Problem: The Psychologist’s Prescription for a Just Tax System”: a fascinating work that examines how sources of moral authority weigh in on the issue of taxation. It concludes and argues that only a small wealth tax is fair and how the elimination of all other taxes and fees will result in a more perfect free-market economy, elimination of government’s borrowing at the expense of future generations, and a society more like the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence.

As a practicing psychotherapist in Florida, Dr. Mitch has treated a large variety of patients using an eclectic mix of multiple therapeutic styles. He is married and has two adult children. Dr. Mitch has long been interested in larger social and political issues. That interest together with his observation of the “hot button” issues that spark anger in his patients and others has resulted in his view that all social “hot button” movements result from the perception of unfairness. Since all government at every level involves decisions about how to allocate public resources and how to pay for those allocations, he had studied the unfairness in how our society raises money to pay for government. This study has led to his prescription of the 2% solution.

Dr. Mitch writes, “Anger is a response to pain and fear. It is, what we call in psychology, a secondary emotion, meaning it is a response to a primary emotion. Anger is the emotional response that energizes our actions taken in response to pain and fear. Among our earliest experiences of emotional pain are events or treatment that are perceived as unfair. The most common experiences that cause people pain and result in anger, whether expressed or repressed, are those that ultimately lead to the refrain, ‘It’s not fair!’ It’s not fair when we are neglected or abused in childhood. It’s not fair when our siblings or peers are treated better than we are by our parents or teachers.”

Published by Page Publishing, Dr. Mitch’s thought-provoking work also discusses what it will take to bring about such a taxation revolution.

Readers who wish to experience this original work can purchase “A Taxing Problem: The Psychologist’s Prescription for a Just Tax System” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
