After many years as the president and co-owner of a successful interior design studio, and a frightening near death experience, Beth decided it was time for a life altering career change. Beth sold her portion of the business and set to work on the now published novel SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT. Beth lives in a quaint historic district in Newport, Kentucky with her husband and three very smart cats. For more information visit Beth Hoffman's website: www.bethhoffman.net

While only playing for 91 performances on Broadway, "Side Show" garnered wide critical acclaim and earned four Tony Award nominations in 1998, a tough season on Broadway with competition from "Ragtime," "The Lion King" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel."

Non-Profits - How to Build a Brand and Powerf
Dallas/Fort Worth American Marketing Association and BrandExtract
Dallas/Fort Worth – Every dollar counts and each contact with a potential donor has never been more important. Non-profit organizations are known for their ability to stretch resources, but are you stretching too thin when it comes to branding and your overall presence online?
Non-profits face the same challenge as every company – establishing a clear brand promise and making sure the message resonates with the audience. However, getting your brand in order is only half the battle. An organization’s website is still the first, and possibly last, place people will go to learn about your organization. Your presence on the web must be on target; clear, concise and easy to navigate.

Home School Resource Day 2010
Heritage Farmstead Museum wants you to come out and play during Home School Day!
By Angie Carroll
For the third consecutive year the National Landmark Heritage Farmstead Museum in central Plano will offer a program specifically designed for children who are home schooled. The farmstead is a living example of North Texas History circa 1890 to 1940, walking on the grounds of the once 360 acre farmstead is literally like traveling back in time. There is no better way to learn about history than to see, hear, touch and feel the past. This year’s program will focus on the importance of a physically active life that was essential to good health and productive farming.
Along with the traditional offerings at Home School Day the HFM will have several new presentations including a lesson in 1890’s children’s fitness, a wool spinning demonstration using wool from the farmsteads own sheep and a behind the scenes tour of the curatorial offices.

PSHS Spring Musical: Side Show
Plano Senior High School will bring an innovative work to the community when its theatre department presents Henry Krieger's and Bill Russell's "Side Show." Behind its gorgeous music and carefully crafted lyrics is a story about two bright and beautiful young women who were joined together at the hip - literally. "Side Show" is a musical about Violet and Daisy Hilton, a real-life set of conjoined twins who were inseparably connected together for life. While only playing for 91 performances on Broadway, "Side Show" garnered wide critical acclaim and earned four Tony Award nominations in 1998, a tough season on Broadway with competition from "Ragtime," "The Lion King" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel." "Side Show" was nominated for Best Musical, Best Original Musical Score, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Actress in a Musical for both Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner who portrayed the Hilton twins. | Plano Senior High School Theatre

Educator Ann Lewin-Benham returns to Akiba to address an entirely new subject: early childhood literacy. Amongst the subjects discussed will be how preschool environments can create experiences that support emerging literacy, the benefits of encouraging playing with sounds at home, and how to best nurture early signs of writing.
Ann Lewin-Benham has written two books: Possible Schools: The Reggio Approach to Urban Education (2006), and Powerful Children: Understanding How to Teach and Learn Using the Reggio Approach (2008). Her strong credentials have made her an expert in the Reggio educational approach, a method that is a strong element in the philosophy of early childhood education at Akiba.

Microboards: An Overview By Jennifer Mathews from the Arc of Texas. A Microboard is formed when a small group of committed Family and friends join together with a person who has a disability to create a nonprofit organization. This group develops a person-centered plan called a PATH (Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope) to address the individual’s support needs. This PATH – the goals and dreams of the person who has a disability – becomes the Microboard’s mission. The biggest benefit of a Microboard is that the individual who has a disability has control over his or her own life with supports from a nonprofit organization run by those who know and care about them most. | Trietsch Memorial United Methodist Church
