literature alike have the chance to discover the life and personality of author C.S. Lewis February 19 at the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. An Evening with C.S. Lewis, the one-man show by critically acclaimed British actor David Payne, reveals the man behind such classics as The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia.
from the Genbu-Kai Karate school, met at Ocean Ridge Park in North Palm Beach to practice Kangeiko. Kangeiko, loosely translated, means “winter training.” This type of training is a special test of endurance, and forges character development within the participants. It’s also an excellent way for the students to form new friendships. In Japan, Kangeiko is practiced outside, in the snow during the winter. Sensei Moore often held Kangeiko in his New York schools before moving to Florida. While some parents thought it was crazy to practice outside in the snow and cold, the students loved it and looked forward to it each year.
