NSB Kiwanis “Strike it rich party”

Posted on June 2nd, 2010

The Kiwinas Club of New Smyrna Beach hosted their semi-annual “Strike It Rich” party on May 22st at the Brannon Center in New Smyrna. They sell 400 tickets to this event for a charge of $125 which admits two people. With over $18,000 in prize money, there is also food, dancing, open bar, and open buffet. The event, which is scheduled from 6pm until 10pm, lasted longer than planned due to the fun and dancing and actually ended around 10:40. The Kiwinas netted approximately $11,000, all of which will be dispersed back to the community. So far this year the organization has given over $10,000 to teachers for special projects that are not funded by the state. Without the help of the Kiwinas, the teachers would have to provide funds for these projects out of their own pockets. The Kiwinas also contribute to community organizations such as PAL and the YMCA. Kiwanis motto is “Serving the Children of the World” and the NSB club’s focus is “Serving the Children of Southeast Volusia County”. If anyone is interested in becoming a member they can contact Pat Reid at 386-409-9300 or by email at preid@federaltrust.com. They can also visit their website at www.nsbkiwanis.com.

Posted on January 31st, 2010

     Tens of thousands of art enthusiasts, the talent of over 250 fine artists from around the country, and incredible music combined for a spectacular 34th annual IMAGES: A Festival of the Arts this weekend. Presented by Atlantic Center for the Arts, the festival is sponsored by the County of Volusia, the City of New Smyrna Beach, the Southeast Volusia Advertising Authority, the Community Redevelopment Agency of New Smyrna Beach, Riverside National Bank, and BrightHouse Networks.
     Over $100,000 in Patrons Awards and cash prizes were given. Festival awards were given in six areas by jurors Leslie King-Hammond and Ben Thompson.
     “It is always a rare and humble honor to be asked by different art communities to come in and jury a festival. The work at the IMAGES extravaganza was rich with diversity, technique, intellect, and exceptional artistry. Jurying is a labor of love, hard work, but richly rewarding, and I feel very honored to have been part of this process,” said Leslie King Hammond.
     “Judging IMAGES was an exhausting but wonderful experience,” said Ben Thompson. “I was really pleased with the quality and diversity of work represented, and impressed by the support of the festival locally and regionally. We chose based on the artists themselves, and their body of work, so the awards are not for individual work, but for the artists. I think the artists will be pleasantly surprised.”                 ** Photos by Sandi Carroll **
