If there were topics to help you with your business and networking, etc… (insert ideas here…), would you be interested? It is a new idea being tossed around. Members sharing with members…….

We of WEC are always striving to improve the lives of our members. All of us have so much knowledge other members could benefit from learning.

More will be discussed as time progresses. Members, please comment if you so wish. Your thoughts on this idea will be taken into consideration for interest, in the possibility of making this happen.

On Saturday morning at Chadia’s business meeting room, we had 9 WEC members who came to learn how to Blog.  Chris Guld, and her husband Jim were there to teach the class.  Lenore Alpert and Lyn Sheft created brand new blogs during the class.  Emily Rushin, Joyce Shore, Chadia Meroueh and Jenette Mathai learned a little more about their existing blogs.  Lynda Amorello, Carol Metevier and Liz Mendel got ideas!

Chris enjoyed having the opportunity to teach this class because it is one of her ‘Geeks on Tour’ new offerings.  You can download a copy of the class handout if you’re interested in learning about blogging with Wordpress.

As many of you know, I am now the Senior Art Designer at Florida Atlantic University Libraries. And as I say at all the luncheons I attend… FAU Libraries’ is where we are re-inventing the library experience! And boy do I mean it! From March 6 through 11, FAU Libraries at the Boca Raton campus will host Kultur Festival 2010. Kultur Fest 2010 is the only festival of its kind in South Florida. This second annual celebration of Jewish culture includes six days of concerts, presentations, lectures, song, dance, film and book arts. Festival events will showcase holdings in Florida Atlantic University Libraries’ Special Collections & Archives through the talents of guest artists, distinguished scholars and critically acclaimed musicians, including the Klezmer Company Orchestra (KCO), the library’s professional ensemble-in-residence. Conductor and Festival Director Aaron Kula and KCO perform the festival’s main event JudeoJazzistico in concert for the first time with the KlezKatz vocal trio. KCO performs a unique style of “ethnic orchestral jazz.” I describe it as a…. Klezmer-Kool-Hot-Jazz-Orchestra fusion style of music that I absolutely love, and you must experience! There is even an event for children called Klez4Kids where a narrator will read from the from a children’s book while members of the KCO perform. My son Thor will be there, dancing up a storm!

This festival is a BLAST! I hope that you can come out and enjoy the festivities. For more information you can view the on-line brochure at: http://www.library.fau.edu/news/kultur.htm and for tickets and information, you can visit: http://fauevents.com/kulturfest.html

I hope to see you at one of the extraordinary events!
