It was heartwarming to see people of every denomi-nation come out and support congregation B'nai Zion's "Community Cares" yard sale and party on Sunday. It proves what we can do when we all work together. Several thousand dollars were raised toward the half
million needed to rebuild.
The same Sunday afternoon, Evalena Worthington helped Commissioner Carmen Turner raise thousands for Big Brothers and Sisters with her annual "Battle of the Bars" contest at the Schooner Wharf Bar. Hundreds gathered as dozens of bar teams competed for the title. Lots of libations were consumed as the six hour contest took place in the sweltering summer sun.
It was a Carter family weekend in Key West with parents Bob and Jane Carter, joining daughter Angel and their two sons, Nick and Aaron. Friday night the commish and Nick went to Durty Harry's at Rick's, where Nick did a record two and half hour set of head-banging hard rock for the packed house. Owner Mark Rossie was on hand to enjoy the minature rock concert. What a night!

Saturday night the Colorful Commish attended Aaron Carter's memorabilia presentation at the Hard Rock Cafe. The place was packed with adoring fans and Aaron thrilled most of them with autographed pictures. Aaron once again made history by being the youngest rock performer to ever be asked by the Hard Rock to present one of his show outfits for display in its 31 years. Way to go Aaron ! Special thanks to Hard Rock's newest general manager, Keith Lyons, and PR representative David Wylie for making this phenomenal event possible. The event was the brainchild of Wylie who seems to have a talent for coordinating these type of events. Thanks for the invitation, David.
The Colorful Commish also enjoyed meeting everyone at the Key West Convalescent Center this past week. Once again the Hard Rock came through to "love all and serve all" as the staff treated some of our respected senior citizens to a wonderful birthday party at the center. The commish made many new friends at the center. |
