ACTIVE HEALTH COMMUNITY NEWS
These past few months have been busy — we have been supporting all kinds of institutions by raising and donating money and attending the most fun events. First was the Gala for Maine Academy of Modern Music. If this is not a place you know about you should look them up! Located on Presumscot Street they have an entire music recording studio — these YOUNG kiddos make the most amazing music. You can’t tell you are listening to children and not actual professionals. They do incredible things for kids to help them gain confidence and skills that are amazing! Next was a fund-raising gala for the Mitchell Institute — which was something I never heard of before. For those of you who remember Senator George Mitchell… well he created a scholarship that goes to one senior from EVERY high school in Maine. It is based on need, circumstances and achievement and — let me tell you what — some of these kids’ stories were the best comeback stories I have ever heard. They had me in tears with what they went through. And the best part about these scholarships are the mentoring programs. The Mitchell Institute mentors them throughout their college careers and then recruits the new alumni to hold up the tradition. Kuddos to this program! And last but not least was the Portland Symphony All Star Dinner. We took Steve to this one and we had a blast. Morgan and I are kind of symphony snobs and because Conductor Robert Moody started the Children’s Symphony Program we got really involved. Because of this
program Taylor, my daughter, loves violin and trumpet and soon Rylan will get introduced. Anyway, Mr. Moody is an amazing conductor and Cellist but we also learned he could sing at this dinner! It was a terrific experience — and Steve made it a lot of fun too.
