The McCartney Years
There are many Beatles tributes, but there’s only one that captures the genius of Paul McCartney at the height of his career in the mid-’70s, and this is it! A note-for-note re-creation of a Wings Over America concert, The McCartney Years – a technically stunning and powerful production – has been praised by original Beatles promoter Sid Bernstein as “the best on the scene today.” This is one amazing Band on the Run that you won’t want to miss.

Lennon: Through A Glass Onion
With part spoken word, part concert and all heart, actor and singer John R. Waters, accompanied by pianist Stewart D’Arrietta, celebrates one of the most distinct voices of all time: John Lennon. The intimate show was nominated for a 2015 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revue and features Lennon’s greatest songs, including Woman and Jealous Guy, as well as his collaborations with Paul McCartney, such as Strawberry Fields Forever and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. “A deeply felt reflection. Savor every minute.” – The New York Times

November, 2015 – Take a Bite out of Hunger

CPBC Chamber logo

 

CENTRAL PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL, October 26, 2015– The Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with the Western Palm Beach County Farm Bureau, Florida Farm Bureau, the South Florida Fair, and Presenting Sponsor, Wells Fargo, will host the annual Farm City luncheon. Farm City annually highlights local agribusiness, as Palm Beach County is one of the largest agriculture counties in the country.

The event’s keynote speaker, Scott Etzel, a Senior Vice-President in Wells Fargo’s Agribusiness Industries Department, will share his economic projections for the Ag industry in Palm Beach County. Mr. Etzel’s portfolio focuses on a variety of agribusiness companies in the fruit, vegetable, seafood, meat, dairy and sweetener industries across Wells Fargo’s North American footprint.

This year’s topic, Food and Feeding, is dedicated to raising awareness about Palm Beach County’s staggering hunger problem. Many people are unaware that 57% of Palm Beach County School District’s students qualify for free or reduced lunch, or that the county has the highest percentage of food insecure individuals who do NOT qualify for food stamps or other federal nutrition programs. This year, we are highlighting the generosity of local farmers, who so often donate much needed excess crops to local food shelters throughout the year.

With the belief that knowledge is power, the event will feature a panel of experts that will share important information and possible solutions. The panel includes Perry Borman (Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Food Bank), Dr. Laurie George (President and CEO for United Way of Palm Beach County), Paco Velez (President and CEO of Feeding South Florida), and Denise Hatton (Director of Public Affairs for R.C. Hatton Farms).

 

In this spirit of giving, and to ensure local individuals and families enjoy a healthy, hearty Thanksgiving meal, we are requesting that attendees bring canned/ non-perishable goods to donate. As is tradition, each guest can expect to walk away with a box of local grown produce.

Farm City will be held on Wednesday, November 18 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. at the South Florida Fair Grounds Expo Center located at 9067 Southern Blvd., West Palm Beach, FL 33411. Tickets are on sale now! To register, visit the Chamber website www.cpbchamber.com and click on the Business Calendar.

October, 2015 – Rotary Club’s Dictionary Project

Dictionary Delivery Equestrian Trails Oct 2015

The Rotary Club of Wellington just completed its annual Dictionary Project as part of its community service projects for the year.  The Rotary Club donates dictionaries to every third grade class in the 7 Wellington area Elementary Schools.  Rotary International has found that 3rd grade is an important year in a child’s education to work on building their vocabulary and communication skills.  Members of the club personally deliver the dictionaries to the classes and discuss some of the content in the book which besides word definitions includes Maps, American History, Sign Language, Braille and The Longest Word in the English language.   The Rotarians enjoy the giving of the dictionaries almost as much as the students enjoy receiving them.

Over 1200 dictionaries were distributed to the 3rd graders this year.  During the distribution of the dictionaries, the students were also given a presentation about Rotary and what the club does both locally and internationally.  The children were taught the Rotary’s “Four Way Test” which is a guide to living a successful life.

The program was spearheaded by Debbie Sanacore and Maggie Zeller, the Rotary Club’s Director of Community Service Projects.  Many members of the Rotary Club participated in the distribution of the dictionaries to the classes.  The Rotary Club looks forward to continuing this annual program next year and in years to come.  For more information about the Rotary Club of Wellington, please contact Donald Gross at (561) 723-8461.  The Rotary Club of Wellington meets every Thursday at 12:15 PM at The Wanderers Club in Wellington, FL.

(West Palm Beach, FL) – The Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts recently hosted more than 100 Palm Beach County school teachers for the second annual Educator Night – A Look Beyond the S*T*A*Rs, a fun and relaxed evening highlighting the Kravis Center’s 2015-2016 Main Stage Season. The annual event gives teachers the chance to see how the arts can enhance their classroom efforts, while offering them exclusive ticket opportunities and treating them to live performances throughout the evening.
The Kravis Center will be offering the S*T*A*R (Students and Teachers Arts Resource) Series of presentations for young people during the 2015-2016 season, ranging from Click Clack Moo to Romeo and Juliet. Teachers of all grade levels are encouraged to find productions to help support their classroom curricula and to provide complementary programming.
Teachers attending Educator Night – A Look Beyond the S*T*A*Rs, were treated to exclusive ticket opportunities while socializing over wine and cheese and enjoying a performance by Sister Colleen from Late Nite Catechism, one of the 2015-2016 featured shows in the Rinker Playhouse. Students from The Broadway Artists Intensive, a Broadway training program held each summer at the Kravis Center, performed “Raise Your Voice” from Sister Act, and performers from the hip hop spectacular Blaze showed off their dance skills. Teachers won prizes, including tickets to Kravis On Broadway hit shows. The event was free of charge to all Palm Beach County educators and was hosted by former WFLX (FOX 29) and WPEC (CBS 12) anchor Alan Gerstel.
For more than 20 years, the Kravis Center has helped students of all ages fuel their imaginations and expand their lives through comprehensive arts education programs. Last season, nearly 60,000 children from Palm Beach, Broward, Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties attended performances, such as Jim Henson’s Dinosaur Train Live: Buddy’s Big Adventure, presented in Dreyfoos Hall, through the S*T*A*R Series. The Center’s Admission Waiver Program ensures that no child is denied access to a performance based on ability to pay.
To learn more about education opportunities, please call the Education and Community Outreach Department at 561-651-4251 or visit the Kravis Center’s official website, kravis.org, and click on Education and Community Outreach, where you also can view and print a 2015-2016 Kravis Center Education Brochure.
