Welcome to our newsletter.  We will keep in touch periodically during our summer break to let you know of SCMS developments and plans. Since our final concert in April, we have been busy getting ready for the upcoming season and now have firm dates set as you will see below. We also have some exciting news to share on a number of fronts. Finally, if you have questions or comments, please drop us a line, we'd love to hear from you.  Piano Donation - At the season finale in April, a request was made for contributions towards purchasing a better quality piano, as the instrument in the Historic Rectory is not up to concert standards. Shortly afterwards, a donor came forward to offer a concert quality 5' 7" Model M Steinway! The gift is being made by St. Paul's parishioner and choir member Kathleen Bratton and her husband Brian Wruble. In addition, Kathleen and Brian are also graciously covering the cost of shipment from their home in NJ along with any necessary repairs. The piano is expected to arrive in Key West in about a month and will be located in the parish hall where SCMS concerts will take place this coming season. Our deepest gratitude to this generous benefactor. New Concert Schedule - Mark your calendars, the 2019 - 2020 schedule has been announced. Starting Oct. 1, tickets will be available for all six performances on the SCMS and Eventbrite websites as follows : November 21 * December 19 * January 16 
February 20 * March 19 * April 16
Move to St. Paul's Parish Hall - Due to the on-going renovations of the Historic Rectory, we are moving this coming season's SCMS performances to the adjacent parish hall. The new venue will be larger but still maintain the intimate feel of traditional chamber music concerts. The parish hall also offers several advantages: more seating, improved acoustics, better lighting, and greater proximity to the artists. In addition, with the installation of new risers, everyone will enjoy an unobstructed view. And the AC works great!

Celebrate Hemingway Days with Key West Art & Historical Society's array of cultural events
Fans of the legendary Ernest Hemingway can look forward to an array of cultural offerings presented by Key West Art & Historical Society that take place July 16 - 21 at the Custom House Museum, Key West Old City Hall, and the Tropic Cinema during the annual Hemingway Days celebration. A mini symposium, book signings and readings, a film premier, and museum exhibits dedicated to the iconic writer are part of the week's celebration. 
Tuesday, July 16 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at Old City Hall: Key West Hemingway Days Mini-Symposium.  Scholars and writers Brewster Chamberlin, PhD., Kirk Curnutt, and Robert Elder will delight Hemingway aficionados with their presentations.  Tickets are free for members and $5 for non-members. Book signings and a Q & A will follow. 
6:00pm:Chamberlin will discuss Key West during the time Hemingway lived on the island.  6:35pm:Elder will offer accounts from never-before-seen, 99-year-old letters from a young, love-sick Hemingway that he recently unearthed. The letters illuminate his unrequited love for a classmate named Frances Coates, whose name shows up throughout his work.  7:10pm:Curnutt will delve into the backstory of Hemingway's little-known 1932 short story "After the Storm," his first attempt to turn Key West into fiction. Based on the deadly events of the 1919 hurricane that hit the Gulf of Mexico, the story imagines the last moments of the Spanish steamship Valbanera, which disappeared near Rebecca light between the Marquesas Keys and the Dry Tortugas. A stark, existential tale of nature's brutality, "After the Storm" unpacks a great deal of Key West's salvaging and sponging history.
Wednesday, July 17 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm at Key West Old City Hall, 510 Greene Street: A longtime Hemingway Days tradition, "Voices, Places, Inspirations" spotlights contemporary writers from Key West and around the U.S. Master of Ceremonies Carol Shaughnessy moderates the evening of readings, storytelling, and presentations from  novelists and short story authors Kirk Curnutt, Kristina Neihouse, and Edgardo Alvarado-Vazquez and members of the Key West Poetry Guild facilitated by Nance Boylan who will share the poetry of Hemingway. Free.  
Friday, July 19, two screenings at 11:15am and 12:15pm at Tropic Cinema, 416 Eaton Street: The film premier of "Between Key West and Cuba" is a story of the two islands, cultures, and people who shaped Hemingway's life and his writing for more than 30 years. Followed by a Q & A with creators C. Michael Curry and Raúl Villarreal. Purchase tickets at TropicCinema.com/event/hemingway-between-key-west-and-cuba/.
Tuesday, July 16 - Sunday, July 21 from 9:30am - 4:30pm at the Custom House Museum:  Participants of Hemingway Days are invited to the Custom House Museum to view a life-sized bronze sculpture, artifacts, and ephemera from Hemingway's life. To complement the Hemingway exhibit, the Key West Art and HistoricalSociety has a display of 59 original pen-and-ink drawings by world-renowned marine wildlife artist Guy Harvey - all providing a visual narrative to Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea."  Free for members, museum entrance rates apply.  Register now at kwahs.orgor for more information contact Society Event Coordinator Dani Holliday at 305-295-6616, x114. Your Museums.  Your Community.  It takes an Island.

Summer Message from Skipper Kripitz

Hi All. coming up on my time to get outta the endless KW Humidity Festival, till October.  I thank you for all your enthusiastic support, & wish you all well thru Aug./Sept, [& safety thru storms & on the roadways, etc.], hoping to see ya, during  these last two weeks of skippomusik gigs.  I look forward to next season, esp. an original dance/music project I will finally manifest next winter at TSKW.  The first pilot project installment of what I hope to be an ongoing, annual multi-media performance /collaboration of our local artists.  This one is  called "The True Balloonflower & Other Tales".  A return to this kinda project has been gestating for me for decades......since doin live music with dance performances in early /mid -eighties here at TWT & Waterfront. 
   Happy 4th! And sadly, no Hospice Picnic [for the General Admission,  Common People!!, anymore].  Casa is 'not interested in having alot of locals around, anymore' , nor,  are the corporate directors really caring of supporting our community.  Like The TOP of the La Concha, Henry  Flaglers' original Lobby at the Casa, & real pianos, & live, indoor, nightly music at Pier House & La Concha, ....they are all sadly gone.  Whew.
Editors Note : Thanks Skipper for the amazing Yearly work you do for a large amount of Non Profit Organizations. It's Amazing How much you do ; and that is why I try my best to promote you ; and others with the same mind set ; a few : Larry Baeder, Larry Smith, Kate Miano, Christine Cordone, Joe Dallas, Hal Howland, Chris Burchard, Dave Bootle, Dennis Hyland, Joe Tripp...
Here are the Last Few Gigs Before His Hiatus

At the Little Room (821 Duval)  on Monday, July 15th at 8pm, Larry Smith hosts his weekly Jazzjam, with skippo on drums.  Jazzy singers & instrumentalists are all welcome to come play.  And on Wednesday the 17th, at 8pm, Chris Burchard & Co. (with Gary Rivenson on bass, & skippo on drums ), take the Little Room stage with an instrumental trio blend of fusion, great American Songbook, Metheney, & originals.

At Virgilio's, this Tuesday July 16th at 9 pm, the legendary island pop fusion sounds of the [ORIGINAL!] Savage Beets will be featured at with Chris Case (a.k.a. Lord Buckcyrus), originally from Nassau, Bahamas, on guitar, Din Allen (founding member of 'The Survivors'), on bass, and skippo on drums.  Their infectious dance grooves and 3 part harmonies, runs the gamut from classic blues, Santana, Stones, and  Police, to island calypso, soca, and Bob Marley/Gregory Isaacs roots rock reggae. There is nothing like them!!  Catch the original Beets members of this iconic tropical power trio jam band at Virgilio's, 524 Duval (rear).  Call 296-1075 for more info.

NOTE: Ride at your own risk. No road closures, no escorts, only informal marshaling-a mellow ride with friends you know and some you haven't met yet. We will "take the lane" and own the road at times, but we will also get in single file or pull over to allow backed-up cars to pass, so please follow the marshals and the general vibe of the group.

 West NOW Vice President Christine Thompson to Attend National NOW Conference, "Feminist Agenda Rising: Our Time is Now" 
The Key West chapter of National Organization for Women (NOW) is pleased to announce that vice president, Christine Thompson, and her daughter, Palace, will be attending the national NOW conference in Minneapolis, MN this July 19th-21st. Speakers at the conference, "Feminist Agenda Rising: Our Time is Now" will include honoree Lizz Winstead, co-creator and head writer for The Daily Show, Virginia Senator Jennifer McClellan, cosponsor of ERA Ratification in the Virginia senate, Ellie Smeal, president and co-founder of the Feminist Majority, and Professor Sarah Deer, working to end violence against Native American women for more than 25 years. 
Christine is looking forward to representing Key West at this important event. 
"At this pivotal time leading up to the 2020 election cycle, it's critical to support equality and women's rights, and to demand that our elected representatives do the same. The national NOW conference is an enormous opportunity to for our community to reaffirm these values and strengthen a coalition for action," said Lizzy Hoke, Key West NOW president.
NOW is the largest organization of feminist grass-roots activists in the US. NOW has hundreds of chapters and hundreds of thousands of members and activists in all 50 states. Since its founding 1966, NOW's purpose is to take action through intersectional grassroots activism, to promote feminist ideals, lead societal change, eliminate discrimination, and achieve and protect the equal rights of all women and girls in all aspects of social, political, and economic life. 
Key West NOW meetings are held the fourth Wednesday of the month at 5:30 pm at Shanna Key and we welcome your presence.

 Surf's up at Fort East Martello: Donavon Frankenreiter concert will be a wave the whole family can drop in on

On Saturday, July 27, pro surfer-turned musician Donavon Frankenreiter will be back to send out his breezy, laid-back vibes and upbeat lyrics in a 7:00pm - 9:00pm performance at historic Fort East Martello, 3501 S. Roosevelt Blvd.  The show is part of Key West Art & Historical Society's "Music at Martello Series," a program established to promote the arts and foster the Fort as a community venue.

Frankenreiter first rocked his chops to the roar of the waves while still a boy living in Southern California and Hawaii, sponsored by the surfing lifestyle brand Billabong. Since then, he's toured with the likes of Jack Johnson, launched a solo singer-songwriter performance career with 11 albums under his surf trunks and is raising a family both on and off the road, typically in locales synonymous with the sea and surfing. His concerts are known for his intimate, "feel-good" music and relaxed atmosphere that at times ramps up for upbeat dancing in front of the stage.  The famed musician with a legendary moustache will perform from nearly ten years of solo hit recordings including his most recent release "The Heart." 
 
Concertgoers are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets for the "backyard casual" setup that will include food vendors and cash bar. Discounted tickets can be purchased in advance for $25 at Kwahs.org/events or $30 at the 6:00pm door opening.  Limited special VIP tickets with cash bar and seating available for $50.  Children under 12 are free. Limited parking is available, bicycling is encouraged.

Odds are, if you were a music fan in the 70's you had one of  James Fortune's  photographs on  a poster on your wall. His large posters
featuring collages of his photographs  featured artists such as 
Elton John, Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney & Wings, Jethro Tull, Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, The Who, and The Rolling Stones.  In 1974, James w as appointed the official photographer for NARM ( National Association of Recording  Merchandisers ). This gave him unprecedented access to the top recording artists of the day  both in concert and in candid moments from then through the end of the decade.

Over 150 of his photographs are included in the permanent Collection of The Rock and Roll  Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

The College of the Florida Keys Receives $16M from U.S. Department of Commerce to Construct Upper Keys Center

The College of the Florida Keys was awarded a $16 million grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) on July 2 to build a new Upper Keys Center in Key Largo.  The new facility will allow CFK to expand workforce training and apprenticeship programs in the Upper Keys.  The building will also provide the College with an alternate headquarters location should another major storm strike the region.  
"The College of the Florida Keys is steadfast in its mission to remain as a powerful and positive force to bring educational, workforce and economic opportunities to all of Monroe County," said College President Dr. Jonathan Gueverra.  "As a uniting force, we work with multiple agencies including federal, state and local government entities as well as businesses, nonprofits and communities to realize long-term sustainable goals.  This allocation of $16 million represents a significant step in the direction to assure that access to higher education and post-secondary training is within reasonable reach of all residents in the Keys."
This EDA grant will be matched with $4 million raised from local sources.
In August 2018, the College acquired the site for the new Upper Keys Center, the 2.12-acre old "Shell World" property at Mile Marker 106.4.  The new facility will replace the College's increasingly limited space held at Coral Shores High School and will allow the College to double its capacity to serve more than 300 students annually. 
The College plans to expand five existing programs in the Upper Keys: nursing, emergency medical technician, marine environmental technology, public safety (law enforcement and corrections academies), and apprenticeships.  In addition, the College plans to develop new programs at the facility including: marine resource management, paramedic, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy, and construction technologies.
With the grant in hand, the College is able to mobilize its construction plans. Demolition of the current structures as well as design of the new building are underway.  The College's new Upper Keys Center is slated to open in the summer of 2021.
More information about the grant can be found in the news release issued by the EDA.

Beth Eliot and her sister Lauren Sheppard are busy selling homes in the Lower Keys through their business BE in Key West Real Estate. Always mindful of supporting their local community they have now started giving 5% of their commission to a charity that the buyer or seller choses. "It is an amazing program they have" states MARC's Executive Director Diana Flenard. "To be able to not only help someone sell or purchase their home but to also including a local nonprofit in that transaction is a wonderful and very thoughtful idea."
After a recent sale, the home owner designated MARC as the charity they wanted to donate to. The check presentation at the MARC Plant Store was for $1225.00. Beth and Lauren presented the check surrounded by the MARC Plant store orchids and a few MARC family members.

 Here at Womankind summers are always lighter. Snowbirds have gone home and locals are traveling. If you're in town, it's a great time to have your annual. Appointments are easy to come by - with many patients able to get in the same week they call. It's still best to call ahead when you can. Our practitioners take their vacations this time of year too. We want to make sure you get the care you need in a timely manner.

While things look calm on our surface, Womankind is circling below the waters planning for the upcoming season. Many hours of brainstorming have already gone into our Annual Womankind BraZaar, this year featuring an Under the Big Top theme. This event was a tremendous hit in 2018 and we are working hard to make sure that it is even more entertaining than last year. If you're creative and eager to donate a decorated bra, now's the time to get your creative juices flowing. Bra submissions are due to Womankind at noon on Tuesday, October 1 at noon.

There's lots more on our calendar too, a Healthy Eating seminar in autumn, an encore presentation on buying health insurance in November during open enrollment, and a special women's forum in late January 2020. Like the sharks we're talking about in our newsletter this month, Womankind keeps swimming and swimming. Thanks for your part in keeping our programs successful.


I hope you'll enjoy the July newsletter of The Monthly.  It's a mix of what's coming up here at Womankind along with a lighthearted look at something nearly every woman that's ever had a uterus can relate to

GRACY@KEYSDIGINET.COM Gracy Lozano Byrne
Gracy sends regards and tells us : This website was created to make easier to event goers to find times and dates. Companies can save time and always have updated/available events available to them and their customers. They don't have to search every local news paper to find what they need. They have ready and combined information on one calendar. It's also online and therefore very convenient. Most people are digital nowadays. Another selling point is that the calendar of events will provide useful information that can be used for scheduling. Any company who is having a special event can look at the global calendar and avoid clashing times/dates with other organizations. This also allows them to attract more people to their events by scheduling their own events when other organizations aren't scheduled.
