Art, Culture and More

Join us for a fun morning at the United Way's office at CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach. Using such basic supplies as markers, crayons, glue, paper and scissors, we'll decorate literacy kits that'll be distributed free to local pre-K and kindergarten children to encourage their love of reading. All supplies are provided and no special drawing or craft-making skill is needed. Everyone is welcome. Take note that we will not be working with children.

Parking is free in one of the nearby garages. Just bring in your ticket to receive a voucher. Snacks, coffee and water will be provided. The event will begin with a talk about the United Way's local activities.

Join us for a rousing Veterans Day tribute concert by the 100-plus member symphonic band and wind ensemble of Dreyfoos School of the Arts, one of the country's premier arts magnet high schools. They'll play many of the most popular patriotic American songs including traditional hymns and marches as well as more contemporary hits, and there'll be a special salute to veterans in the audience.

We'll have our own premier reserved seating section in the spacious 600-seat Meyer Hall. Tickets are just $13 and must be ordered in advance. I'm handling this for our group. Message me or email me about it. You'll be on the Waitlist until you've paid.

The school is one block north of Kravis Center and there's ample free parking in its fenced-in lot. After the show we can go for refreshments at a nearby restaurant.

Join us for an exciting evening of jazz at Dreyfoos School of the Arts, one of the country's premier arts magnet high schools. Featuring mostly instrumental music by the jazz ensemble and piano departments, the show covers various types of jazz. Recent concerts have included the works of such luminaries as Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillipsie, Count Basie, Benny Carter, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Fats Waller, Gerry Mulligan, Charlie Parker and Etta James.

The Dreyfoos band is always one of the best in the nation. It's a frequent finalist in the prestigious Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition and Festival at Lincoln Center in New York, where last year it finished fourth. DownBeat magazine has repeatedly honored it in its annual Student Music Awards issue.

This is a very preliminary, hold-the-date announcement. More information will be added later. Though reservations aren't yet open, you're welcome to now let us know if you might be interested.

Start the new year off right with one of our most popular events, the New Year's Day potluck picnic and party. Join us to meet and greet some of our most amazing members! There will be a special icebreaker activity to help people better get to know each other and an organized walk through the park. This is always one of our best-attended events.
