Arts & Entertainment Foundation Welcomes 1,000Th
Member Last week, the Palm Coast/Flagler Foundation for the Arts and
Entertainment, Inc. enrolled its 1,000th member, furthering the strong community
and area support that has been demonstrated over the past two years since the
non-profit organization was founded. Beth Corello,19 Elder Drive, Palm Coast
contributed her twenty dollars for a Supporting Membership in the Foundation
after listening to a presentation given at the Community Center to the Cypress
Knoll Neighborhood Association by Glenn Grube, Secretary/Treasurer of the
Foundation and his wife, Joan. Beth’s husband, Charlie, also joined and became
the 1,001st Member.Beth stated "Having a local Arts and Entertainment venue is a
superb idea! I look forward to the opening of the Center so we don’t have to
travel thirty to seventy miles to enjoy a performance or see an art exhibit and
then have to drive and not get home until one o’clock in the morning. I really
got excited when Joan emphasized the inclusion of a Children’s Center which is
so vitally important for the balance needed in every child’s education. Both
Charlie and I elected to build in Palm Coast because we wanted to live in a
community where there are children whose everyday energies and enthusiasm add to
the enjoyment of life. We cannot donate tens of thousands of dollars to help
fulfill the dream, but we will certainly give what we can to ensure the success
of the Foundation."This membership milestone provides the impetus for the
Foundation’s campaign, "2,006 in 2006". The leaders of the Foundation expect to
have three thousand members by the end of this year. Every present member is
being challenged to recruit at least three new members in 2006. Members are
encouraged to arrange to have speakers from the Foundation make presentations at
meetings of any organization to which they belong. "Coffee ands", hosted by
members in their homes or community clubhouses for friends, relatives and
neighbors are also being scheduled as host volunteers step forward.For
