BUSINESS WOMEN AT PLAY
Pretty in Pink were the Port St. Lucie Business Women
during their 17th Annual Fashion Show and Silent Auction
on March 21 at the Legacy Golf & Country Club. More than
175 women, including members of the Business Women’s
group, who were adorned with pink boas, lunched and
viewed the springtime fashion offerings of Alisari,
Dress2Impress, Evelyn & Author, Kemp’s Boutique, Mark,
Fore & Strike, Patchington, Suit Yourself Swimwear and
Tribal Chic Designs. A decadent salad featured chicken cordon
bleu over baby greens, but the real treats were the
dozen or so tables heaped with silent auction items that
offered everything that women might want.
From jewelry to art, party packages to gift baskets, Lenox
to Coach, pedicure certificates to therapeutic massages,
Silent Auction Chairwoman Susan Fines, and event Chairs
Carol Primiano and Bobbie Deemer made sure there was
something for everyone to enjoy and bid upon. More than
$13,000 was raised from the event, with partial proceeds to
benefit scholarship programs. The theme ‘Springtime in
Paris’ was echoed in everything from the club members’
pink boas to the pink ceramic poodles that served as
party favors.
President Marilyn Lawless said the Port St. Lucie Business
Women is a professional organization that’s dedicated to
promoting the interests of business women and serving the
community in an effective way.
SAVING THE EARTH ONE DAY AT A TIME
While the luncheon continued on, a different type of revelry
helped to mark Earth Day in Port St. Lucie. The Oxbow
Eco-Center, on St. James Drive, hosted their 7th Annual
Earth Day Celebration, on April 21 from 10-3, featuring
exhibits designed to teach both young and old how easy it
is to “live green,” and help save the environment.
More than 2,000 families flocked to their Sustainability
Village, which offered inter-active booths, including a look
at special bike one could ride to run household appliances,
bubble-making at the solar energy booth with their sundriven
fan, lessons on non-toxic simple alternatives to those
harsh chemicals you use in your house, and why buying
organic is good for your health and the environment.
SINGING THE BLUES AT TRADITION
When Zac Harmon took the stage with his band on
Friday night, May 11, the crowd at Tradition Town Hall was
a mixture of blues lovers, music fans and curious folks up
for a night out on the town.
The Mississippi-born and bred electric bluesman played
guitar for ZZ Hill and Sam Myers in his teenage years. After
years in LA working as a studio musician and writing producer,
Harmon released his first CD in 2002 and was named
Best New Artist Debut at the 2006 Blues Music Awards for
his latest CD, The Blues According to Zacariah.
Nestled in between gigs in Nashville and Atlanta,
Harmon took the stage in Port St. Lucie, offering up a mixture
of blues music that had people tapping their feet and
dancing in their seats. The concert was Tradition Town
Hall’s first blues concert but certainly not the last. The band
performed to about 200 people.
