Skater power! Feliciano meets former champ
Sharon Feliciano got to meet her idol last week, when she attended the Dorothy Hamill Figure Skating Fantasy Camp in Scottsdale, Ariz.
“She is the reason I started figure skating,” Feliciano said via email. “After watching her win the gold medal, I begged my parents to let me have lessons!”
Palm Coast artist designs festival T-shirt
Palm Coast artist Raymond Brilli’s “The Broken Dock” was chosen as the Halifax Art Festival’s T-shirt design because of his "bright, spontaneous impressionistic style" and his "lively sense of color."
Brilli has won many awards, including the design for the 2009 Halifax Art Festival T-shirt. He will be among 200 artists displaying their art at the 51st Halifax Art Festival Nov. 2-3, in Daytona Beach.
Team Feed Flagler effort in full swing
The fifth-annual Feed Flagler event is in full swing raising funds and gathering nonperishable food for local food banks and a hot meal at selected locations.
Once again, Team Feed Flagler is relying on the generosity of the community to provide the funds for the hot Thanksgiving meal and for nonperishable foods to fill the family meal boxes. The team is asking for the community to help by supplying all of the fixings a family will need to prepare a Thanksgiving meal in their homes.
Items needed are canned vegetables, instant potatoes or rice, canned fruit, stuffing mix, muffin or biscuit mix and packaged gravy mix. The box will also contain a frozen turkey which will be purchased by the community funds.
Team Feed Flagler is a collaboration of government, civic, and religious leaders in the community with the sole purpose of hosting an annual Thanksgiving Celebration for food and fellowship among the communities that make up Flagler County. The organization and the event are produced entirely by volunteers.
To donate, make the check payable to the Flagler County Commission and mail it to the Flagler County Administrator's Office to the attention of Christie Mayer, 1769 East Moody Blvd., Building 2, Bunnell, FL 32110. Donated food items can be dropped off at the Flagler County Government Services Building or at one of the other locations listed on www.feedflagler.com.
To volunteer your time, contact Flagler Volunteer Services at 597-2950 or email [email protected].
