\n The Yale University Art Gallery (1111 Chapel Stree t) presents works from one of the nation’s finest collections of wood art in the exhibition Conversations with Wood: Selections from the Waterbury C ollection. The exhibition features more than 70 objects from the 500 works in the collection of Minneapolis collectors Ruth and David Waterbury. Ran ging from exquisitely turned wood bowls to large\, sculptural pieces\, the se objects are complemented by select works given by the Waterburys to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Yale University Art Gallery.

The exhibition is on view from May 17 through August 18 and is accompanied by a fully illustrated publica tion\, Conversations with Wood: The Collection of Ruth and David Waterbury .
\n\n Exhibition Overview
\n Artists working
in wood have produced increasingly diverse examples of their craft. The fi
rst practitioners used a lathe to turn the wood while the artist shaped it
\; thus\, the early name of “wood turning.” In the late 1990s the field ca
me to be known as “wood art” as it began to include the various processes
practiced today-carving\, piercing\, and painting among them.
\n T he Waterburys have embraced the changing field of wood art and its artists since the late 1980s\, collecting pieces from simple turned bowls to obje cts highlighting irregularities in the wood to works that explore imaginat ive ways to manipulate the medium. Founding members of the organization Co llectors of Wood Art\, the Waterburys not only have built one of the natio n’s premier collections but also have given support to and forged enduring relationships with many wood artists.

It has a c lose relationship with nature as it teaches us how to select foods that re spond to the body&rsquo\;s natural rhythm thus restoring health and bringi ng about deep physical and emotional healing.
\n\n The practice of w hole-food nutrition follows an ancient tradition that divides life into fi ve seasons: summer\, late summer\, autumn\, winter\, and spring. Each seas on has many aspects\; among them is a symbolic color\, a representative el ement such as wood\, earth or metal\, specific tastes and foods that are r ecommended for that season\, the organs that are best supported by those f oods\, and appropriate cooking methods for that time of year. By following this tradition\, we not only become tuned into our own bodies but also se nsitized to the healing properties of nature.

The New Jersey Choral Society\, the Choir of Historic St. Ma lachy's Church\, and the Keystone State Boychoir will also be participatin g.
\n\n The featured piece\, John Rutter’s Mass of the Children< /em>\, was born out of heartache and great loss. After Rutter’s college-ag e son was killed in a tragic accident\, the composer was unable to write m usic for over two years. He regained his inspiration and wrote this epic m asterpiece\, perhaps as a way of paying tribute to his son and of clearing his soul of torment. The program will also include Durufle's Ubi Car itas\, John Rutter's Gaelic Blessing and selected pieces sun g by the Keystone State Boy Choir.

The New Jersey Choral Society\, the Choir of Historic St. Malachy'\;s Church\, and the Keystone State Boychoir will also be participating.
\n The featured piece\, John Rutter&rsquo\;s Mass of the Children\, was born out of heartache and great loss. After Rutter&rsquo\;s college-age s on was killed in a tragic accident\, the composer was unable to write musi c for over two years. He regained his inspiration and wrote this epic mast erpiece\, perhaps as a way of paying tribute to his son and of clearing hi s soul of torment. \;
\n\n The program will also include Durufle '\;s Ubi Caritas\, John Rutter'\;s Gaelic Blessing and selected piec es sung by the Keystone State Boy Choir.
\n\n Rutter wrote A Gaelic Blessing as a parting gift for a much-loved choir director. Due to the gen tle nature of both words and melody\, this piece has become a popular choi ce at christenings\, weddings and funerals.
\n\n Under the direction of Music Director Steven Fisher\, Keystone State Boychoir (KSB) consists of more than 150 young men between the ages of eight and 18 who sing an en thralling repertoire from the classical to the contemporary. KSB&rsquo\;s mission is to provide superior choral music education and performance oppo rtunities for young people from diverse economic\, racial and ethnic backg rounds and to pursue artistic excellence that inspires performers and audi ences alike.

\n\n Nineteen years ago\, on June 17th 1994\, the Empori um Gallery hosted an opening night reception for its very first art exhib ition.
\n\n Creating a gallery within the Emporium was the inspirat ion of store’s staff. Less established artists -- as well as those who wer e considered avant garde -- could have an alternative venue to exhibit th eir work in Downtown Mystic. In turn\, this heightened the popular eclect icism within the grand Victorian building.
\n\n Today\, with the Emp orium scheduled to close its doors for good later this summer\, we have an nounced a swan song exhibition to mark the occasion. The title of So L ong Peter Pan is inspired by a larger than life Peter Pan\, a theate r lobby prop from the 1950s’ Broadway hit\, which now stands in the centr al hub at The Emporium.
\n\n An open call has been released as we se ek out those artists from the past who have\, at one time or another\, exh ibited at the Emporium Gallery.
\n\n So Long Peter Pan is s cheduled to run from Thursday\, June 27th through Monday\, August 12th.\n
\n An Opening Reception will be held Thursday\, June 27th\, from 6 pm to 8 pm.
\n\n No fees are being asked of either contributing arti sts.

\n Georges Méliès\,
was a French illusionist and filmmaker famous for leading many technical a
nd narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès\, a proli
fic innovator in the use of special effects\, accidentally discovered the
substitution stop trick in 1896\, and was one of the first filmmakers to u
se multiple exposures\, time-lapse photography\, dissolves\, and hand-pain
ted color in his work. Georges Méliès was a genuine virtuoso\, producing a
nd directing his own films while also devising the narratives\; designing
the sets\, costumes and props\; and frequently performing the leading part
s.
\n The idea behind Bike Farm Table Weekends is pretty simple
— combine the farm-to-table movement with the fun of exploring by bicycle
. We'll enjoy beautiful and peaceful rides to local farms. We'll meet the
farmers and harvest food at the peak of its season. We'll hand off those i
ngredients to a distinguished chef\, and a couple hours later we'll savor
a three-course gourmet meal prepared with the ingredients we harvested. Yo
u can't get more fresh than that.
\n Bike Farm Table Weekends a
re based in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts. The Pioneer Valle
y boasts both an abundance of local farms and bucolic places to ride a bik
e. While only three hours from New York and two hours from Boston\, the Pi
oneer Valley feels a world away.
\n This is a special centennial exhibition featuring regiona l artworks of the past 100 years\, focusing on the work of the artist memb ers of the Mystic Art Association. Exhibit runs June 28-September 28 2013. Opening reception Saturday July 13\, 6 -11 pm.

In addition to his radio hit\, Anderson also formed a new band\, the World Famous Headliners\, clad with fellow hit songwriters Shawn Camp and Pat McLaughlin. Their debut album had steady radio airplay ( six wee ks in the top 20) in the Americana genre and garnered multiple raving revi ews from The Associated Press and LA Times. Big Al has played as well as c o-written with longtime friend Bonnie Raitt\; her current album Slipstream boasts three tracks written by Al.

\n\n This production is a benefit for the Norfolk Historical Soc iety
\n\n To mark the 130th anniversary of Norfolk’s Village Hall\, now known as In finity Music Hall\, Gilbert & Sullivan returns to the stage with a special concert performance of The Mikado by New York’s renowned Blue Hill Troupe . This is Gilbert & Sullivan’s first return to Infinity Hall since 1884 wh en the hall was dedicated with a performance of Pinafore. The Mikado comes to the Infinity Hall stage as a benefit for the Norfolk Historical Societ y which is celebrating the history of Infinity Hall this summer in a speci al exhibition: ““Village Hall to Infinity Hall: 130 Years of Culture\, Com merce and Community.”
\n\n Considered by many to be the gem of the Gilbert & Sulliv an canon\, The Mikado is an irresistible concoction of rapturous melody\, witty satire\, and exotic locale\, peopled with unforgettable characters. There's Ko-Ko\, the newly appointed Lord High Executioner\, baffled by the logistics of having to execute himself before he can dispatch the other n ames on his 'little list.' Pooh-Bah\, with his inflated ego\, distinguishe d ancestry and readily crossed palm\, is Lord High Everything Else. Nanki- Poo\, the handsome son of the Mikado\, is on the lam disguised as a questi onably proficient second trombonist\, pursuing his secret passion for the aptly named Yum-Yum. She\, a model of Japanese schoolgirl perfection\, has mastered the art of flirting—if only flirting were not a crime punishable by death. Katisha\, breathtakingly ugly (save her famous left shoulder-bl ade)\, is a formidable noblewoman who has set her sights on Nanki-Poo. Whe n the Mikado arrives on the scene\, it's up to him to sort out the romanti c entanglements and assign punishments to fit the crimes. Don't miss the 8 9 year-old Blue Hill Troupe's ninth production of this classic!

Joe and Albert Bouchard were founders of rock legends Blue Oyster Cult with multi- Gold and Platinum awards. Recently back from a sold-out tour of England\, Blue Coupe returns to the US for a great summer tour.
\n\n This supergroup of inf
luential musicians paved the way for many of the superstar bands of the 80
s and 90s and beyond.
\n The Bouchards and Dunaway were the heartbeat
of many of the best known songs in the history of rock. In their show the
y perform those hits as well as many of their own songs from their highly
acclaimed albums.
\n
\n With the original Alice Cooper group\, Dennis co-wr
ote smash hits like 'I'm 18' 'School's Out' and 'Under My Wheels' while Al
bert and Joe were writers of many of Blue Oyster Cult's biggest songs incl
uding 'Cities on Flame' 'Hot Rails to Hell' and 'Astronomy' that was cover
ed by Metallica. Joe\, Albert and Dennis have sold over 20 million albums
worldwide and have been awarded over 30 gold and platinum records.
\n
\n Wa
y back in the 70s\, Blue Oyster Cult opened shows for Alice Cooper as both
bands eventually headed for the top of the charts. As Alice Cooper became
world famous with hits like 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' and 'Elected'\, Blue O
yster Cult continued with their own sold-out tours with classics like 'Don
't Fear The Reaper' 'Godzilla' and 'Burnin' For You'. It was there that th
ese early friendships turned in to a working relationship that keeps the r
ock and roll dream alive today.

\n\n From the band that’s been both accurately an d inaccurately labeled just about everything this side of Top 40 comes a t rue-to-form rock-n-roll record. Scratch that\, true-to-form is not Deer Ti ck’s style. Let’s start over…
\n\n Naturally\, after so many years o f critics praising [and making fun of] them for their “folk” and “country” sounds and hardly ever mentioning the fact that they’ve also recorded vir tually dozens of other kinds of music\, the band wanted to make a record t hat was truer to their live set (which has gained some notoriety): raw\, l oud\, heartfelt\, and completely uninterested in whatever the hell the res t of the music industry is up to.
\n\n To produce this record\, the band recruited the team of Adam Landry and Justin Collins\, who produced M cCauley’s side-project Middle Brother’s debut album. The results are unlik e anything you’ve heard on a Deer Tick album\, but Deer Tick achieves some thing that is a lot more accurate to their live sound. Distorted guitars a re aplenty\, guitarist Ian O’Neil and drummer Dennis Ryan take lead vocal duties for the first time on record. Man\, you can practically smell the s weat and the beer! Shit\, you may even hear a guitar or two break somewher e in there! It’s got a little Exile\, it’s got a little In Utero\, it’s go t a little Nilsson Schmilsson\, but it’s 100% Deer-Fucking-Tick in their p urest\, and most carefree form… perhaps that’s because this is the first r ecord they’ve recorded in their home state of Rhode Island… GAH!!! No need to over-think this shit!!! Moving on…

Hailed for their quick wit\, technical virtuosity\, and visceral movement style\, Ms. Miller's works embody fear less physicality. Ms. Miller was the 2011 recipient of Wesleyan's Mariam M cGlone Emerging Choreographer Award.
\n\n
\n\n At Wesleyan\, Gallim Dance will perform the New England premiere of 'Mama Call' (2011)\ , and 'Pupil Suite' (2010)\, which had been postponed from their original engagement in February 2013.
\n\n
\n\n 'Mama Call' has its r oots in Andrea Miller’s Sephardic-American heritage. The work explores ide as of displacement and alienation as it affected Spanish Jews during the c enturies surrounding the Inquisition. Ms. Miller adapts the Sephardic stor y into a contemporary and more universal tale of border-crossing. 'Mama Ca ll' investigates the idea of how those who have been displaced rescue the idea of 'home.'
\n\n
\n\n 'Pupil Suite' is an exhilarating s
election of wildly quirky excerpts from Ms. Miller’s crowd-pleasing work '
I Can See Myself in Your Pupil.' Performed to the contagious music of Isra
eli band Balkan Beat Box\, the dance is a joyous romp that plays with the
madness of imagination and the ecstasy of movement.

This series of large\, minimalist work will be on display from July 13 - September 30\, 2013\, featuring a gallery visit by Cordsen on Sunday\, August 18.
\n\n
\n\n “ I am very selective in offering solo exhibitions\,” said Warner. “At most I will feature two artists a year\, which allows me to carefully consider the integrity and process of each artist’s work.” “I felt an immediate excitement the first time I saw Kate Cordsen’s photographic work. Her hug e\, dramatic prints are widely collected and are often purchased by design ers\, notably her sold out River series. In this new work\, R avine\, Cordsen is reinterpreting the traditional landscape into some thing modern and ambiguous.”
\n\n
\n\n Kate Cordsen’s work h as a transcendent quality. Her landscapes are often surprisingly emotional and have a deceptive simplicity. They are not directly representative of a particular place or time but rather a metaphorical expression of the lan d. “My work boils down to a few fibers of form and emotion. I love the str ucture and shape of the landscape as well as the innocence. I hope that is conveyed in my work.” Cordsen has an extensive background in the fine art s. She studied photography at The International Center of Photography\, fi ne arts at Parson’s and the history of art at Harvard University.
\n\n
\n Cordsen’s travels have greatly influenced her spare\, minima list aesthetic. “I am drawn to watery scenes particularly where the land a nd water meet. I have seen some extraordinary places these last few years but\, truthfully\, none that inspire as much as the Connecticut River Vall ey.” Cordsen walks the trails in Lyme and Essex almost daily. “It is very impressive how much preserved land there is in this region. This series\, Ravine\, started on the Ravine Trail in Lyme but ultimately was shot all over Connecticut and New York.”
\n\n
\n\n The colla boration between Cordsen and Warner is a natural one. Both are artists who maintain studios in the area and draw inspiration from the Connecticut la ndscape. Cordsen adds\, “Lori Warner has a tremendous eye and is quite wel l respected in the art world. I feel fortunate to be on her roster of arti sts. Furthermore\, she and I have a great deal of respect for the artistic heritage of this area.” The Connecticut River Valley is well established as an important place in the history of American art and is still a vibran t community of artists. With that\, Warner and Cordsen have decided to don ate a portion of the proceeds from two selected prints to The Lyme Land Tr ust and The Connecticut River Museum.
\n\n
\n\n The Lori War ner Studio/Gallery is a unique source for artwork and objects that make a lasting impression. “My goal is to not just exhibit artist’s work\, but r ather to foster a collaborative relationship between the gallery and each artist\,” said Warner. The gallery is located at 21 Main Street in Cheste r\, Connecticut. (860) 322-4265. http://www.loriwarner.com.

The play documents letters from a young single father to h is unborn son using spoken word\, dance\, and live music. 'Word Becomes Fl esh' returns to the stage\, re-invented in this New England premiere for a n ensemble cast of six emerging poet-performers\, who fuse deep honesty\, tender stories\, playful wit\, purposeful rage\, and raw physicality to ex amine the legacy of patriarchy and male privilege\, the continuum between fathers and sons\, and the relationships between women and men.
\n\n
\n “Enjoyed Marc Bamuthi Joseph very much. He engaged the audience\
, all of us\, regardless of age. His enthusiasm was contagious and the dep
th of his performance was amazing. He is truly a talented artist.”

\n\n Lay Low
\n\n LAY LOW is the alter-ego of Icel andic singer/songwriter Lovísa Elísabet Sigrúnardóttir.
\n\n Born in London to a Sr i Lankan father and Icelandic mother\, LAY LOW’s musical abilities stretch as far as her geographical heritage. Starting out as a pianist and bass g uitar player\; she has jammed on keyboards and synthesizers with Benny Cre spo’s Gang\, found her voice in blues folk and a little honky tonk bop col laborating with producers such as Liam Watson. Although her new material i s taking on a new trip hop twist\, LAY LOW’s distinct musical journey can still be felt at its roots\, producing a honed yet experimental sound that is all her own.
\n\n Vocally LAY LOW combines a rich chocolate sound with a sweet
cinnamon rasp and a sip of whisky to take the edge off. Her live shows hav
e seen her reach round and hug a room of 200 people using only her voice i
n acapella. Seeing LAY LOW perform is unique\, musically playful\, she spi
ns new yarns out of her songs\, exudes warmth and radiates sincerity that
amounts to a profoundly personal experience.

\n “Iceland’s new dark pop princess.” MTV Iggy
\n\n Iceland’s Soley Stefansdottir\, or just Soley\, has caused quite a stir in 2012. Since her first solo release ‘Theater Isl and EP’ in 2010 and the follow-up album ‘We Sink’ in 2011\, she has built an international reputation and devoted fanbase with her delicate melodies and beautifully dark lyrics. The soundtrack to lucid dreams and childhood nightmares\, Soley wouldn’t be out of place in the dark fairytale world o f Tim Burton.
\n\n Studying classical piano as a youngster and writing music as a t eenager\, she entered Icelandic Art Academy in 2007. It was during this ti me that she sang and played with Icelandic favourites Seabear and Sin Fang . Her output as a solo artist was greeted almost immediately with feverish enthusiasm. At home her album and EP scored top marks and rave reviews in Iceland’s biggest newspapers plus nominations in Icelandic Music Awards. Her recent musical contribution to Icelandic theater production ‘Breaking News’\, a portrayal in puppetry of our modern obsession with the media\, w as received with huge critical acclaim.
\n\n Internationally she has received prais e from tastemaker bloggers and mavens and is started to breakthrough into a wider consciousness – she recently won MTV Iggy’s Artist of the Week. So ley continues to build an extraordinary buzz online through YouTube and Fa cebook\, with music lovers around the world claiming her as their discover y.

\n\n Svavar Knútur has in the recent years seen his star steadily rise both in Iceland and abroad\, playing aro und the world to growing success. Svavar has played at SXSW and NXNE music and film festivals and also made an appearance on BBC world service.

\n\n Shawn Mullins is known for his expertly crafted folk rock\, instrumental rock\, and adult alternative music. His influences range fro m the power-pop groups such as the Violent Femmes and the Indigo Girls to singer-songwriters like James Taylor and Kris Kristofferson. His hit singl e\, 'Lullaby'\, was number one on the Adult Top 40 and was nominated for a Grammy Award!
\n\n Since we last heard from Shawn Mullins on 2008’s honeydew\, the
Atlanta-based singer/ songwriter and bandleader has undergone a series of
transformative experiences\, leading to a second coming for the veteran a
rtist. Evidence of Mullins’ newfound level of musical and lyrical ambition
courses comes through with Light You Up (Vanguard Records\, Oct. 12). Thi
s captivating new song cycle will likely be viewed as a flat-out revelatio
n even by Mullins’ most fervent fans.
\n The album is overflowi
ng with perfect rhymes\, telling detail and underlying intimations. This i
s uncommonly literate stuff\, striking in its insightfulness and compassio
n. Delivered by Mullins in his companionable baritone\, as lived-in and te
xtured as your favorite pair of faded jeans\, amid the relentless rhythms\
, churning Hammond organ runs and swooping guitar lines\, every line is ab
solutely spellbinding\, adding incrementally to the album’s gripping inten
sity. “I felt like I needed to get the listener’s attention with this reco
rd\,” says Shawn. He can consider that a mission accomplished.
\n
\n\n Ryan Montbleau and his band are bringing their distinctive\ , long-fermenting blend of neo-folk\, classic soul\, and kick-out-the-jams Americana to Infinity Hall!
\n\n Songs for Ryan Montbleau typically need to simmer
. In his 10-year career this gifted singer and his limber band have built
their catalog the old-fashioned way\, by introducing new songs to their li
ve set\, then bending and shaping them over dozens of performances before
committing a definitive version to the hard drive.
\n For that
and many other reasons\, Montbleau’s next album\, 'For Higher\,' is quite
literally a departure. Well-established out of his home base in the Northe
ast\, the singer threw himself into New Orleans\, where everything is slow
-cooked\, for a few fast-moving days -- and whipped up an instant delicacy
.

\n\n Eric Clapton calls Albert Lee his “favorite guitarist of all time”\, so if you’re unfamiliar with Albert’s music\, we can only suggest you take Eric’s word\, as we ha ve little doubt you’ll also be amazed.
\nHaving James’ sister Kate on the bill only heightens our anticipation of a very special night.
\n\n 'The greatest
guitarist in the world.' -Eric Clapton
\n
\n “Albert is in eve
ry sense of the word\, a genuine guitar wizard'. -Earl Scruggs
\n \n “When Saint Peter asks me to chronicle my time down here on earth\,
I'll be able to say -with pride if that's allowed- that for a while I pla
yed rhythm guitar in a band with Albert Lee.' -Emmylou Harris
Guitar legend ALBERT LEE first came to prominence during a 1964-68 stint
in British Blues and R & B stalwarts Chris Farlowe’s Thunderbirds. After w
orking in the UK bands for touring country acts such as Bobby Bare and Ske
eter Davis\, Lee’s next full-time berth was two years with the UK answer t
o the Flying Burrito Brothers and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Head \, Hands\, a
nd Feet. His reputation grew and session work blossomed\, including appear
ances on “The London Bo Diddley Sessions” for Chess and Jerry Lee Lewis’ “
The London Sessions”. This and other work with U.S. based greats led to a
permanent position in the Crickets\, and by the time that ended Albert had
long since made Southern California his home. There he became friendly wi
th Don Everly\, who had also settled in Southern California\; they played
regularly on a formal and informal basis\, with Albert contributing to Don
’s 1974 solo effort “Sunset Towers”. The move to California also led to wo
rk on sessions for the debut album of Jackson Browne.
\n Former Connecticut Congressman Bob Steele will discuss hi s newly-published book The Curse: Big-Time Gambling's Seduction of a S mall New England Town.

Take act ion by walking on October 5 in the 8th Annual Walk Across Southeastern CT &ndash\; Support the Cause and Raise Funds for Breast Cancer Research!
\n\n \;It is estimated that there will be more than 3\,00 0 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in CT in 2013 and that almost 500 will die from the disease. Death rates for breast cancer have steadily decrease d in women since 1989 due to progress in earlier detection\, improved trea tment\, and possibly decreased incidence as a result of declining use of h ormone replacement therapy. \;
\n\n By walking in the Terri Brod eur Breast Cancer (TBBCF) Walk Across Southeastern CT you will increase fu nding of breast cancer research that leads to earlier detection\, better t reatments and ultimately prevention of this disease! \; The Walk goal is to raise funds for research through walker fundraising commitments. &nb sp\;Youth walkers must raise $100 and choose any marathon walk option.&nbs p\; Adult walkers must raise $200 for a quarter marathon\, $250 for a half marathon and $500 for a full marathon walk. \; The Foundation commits that 100% of funds raised goes directly to breast cancer research! In sev en years\, TBBCF has funded over $2.4 M in breast cancer research!
\n\n TBBCF&rsquo\;s 8th annual Walk Across Southeastern CT is being held on October 5. There is a walk to suit everyone&rsquo\;s level of ability.&nb sp\; Registration is now open and the time to start training for your chos en marathon walk is approaching! \; Walks include a quarter marathon ( 6.55 miles)\, a half marathon (13.1 miles) or our signature full marathon (26.2 miles). Opening ceremonies begin at 6:30 am at Saybrook Point\, Old Saybrook\, with feet on the pavement at 7:00 am. These full marathon walke rs walk the scenic route along the shoreline through Old Saybrook\, Old Ly me\, and East Lyme ending in Waterford. \; Half marathon walkers start at Capital Drive\, East Lyme at 10:00 am and quarter marathon walkers sta rt at the Niantic Baptist Church\, Niantic at 1:00 pm. \; All walks co mplete at Camp Harkness\, Waterford\, with closing ceremonies.
\n\n Team-up with friends\, family or co-workers! Team-up to walk in honor or m emory of someone special! \; Enjoy the benefits of working as a team t o meet the fundraising commitment and have fun while supporting the common cause.
\n\n There are Youth Walk Team options for 12-18 year olds. Gather 8 or more youth with a Youth Walk Coach and the Coach only pays reg istration with no fundraising requirement. \; Or\, gather 7 or fewer y outh with an adult walker and the adult pays registration and meets the fu ndraising requirement.
\n\n Walkers are provided with training and f undraising support and the opportunity to meet others who come together fo r a common cause and purpose. \;Walkers can make a difference in thei r lives and the lives of others. Challenge yourself...challenge your frien ds and family...there&rsquo\;s an option for everyone to participate!
