If you want to enjoy an evening of entertainment while mixing it up with fellow community members for a good cause, may as well make a weekend of it. First attend the TwinWest Chamber of Commerce’s “Dancing Under the Stars” gala March 9 at the Doubletree By Hilton Minneapolis-Park Place in St. Louis Park, and the follow that up a night later at St. David’s Center for Child & Family Development’s “Make Them Shine” gala at International Market Square.
I’m one of the guys Bryan Buser, a certified cicerone (beer expert) and the store manager at The Four Firkins in St. Louis Park, describes as someone who thinks beer “is great and everyone likes beer.” But not as someone who knew about how the “right beer and the right food … can make a regular meal into something fantastic.”
With eight suggestions of beer and appetizer and beer and dessert pairings, beer bunglers like myself can take our next meal to the next step.
Every month is a good month to donate food, clothing, shelter and other necessities to local families in need. But there’s a little added incentive in March.
Minnetonka High School (MHS) made its eighth appearance and earned its eighth Starred Performance rating, the highest honor, at the 2012 Class AA State One Act Play Festival on Feb.10. MHS theatre and English teacher John Lynn directed the stellar all-student cast and crew as they presented a 35-minute cut of Equus by Peter Shaffer.
When it comes to philanthropies, there aren’t many causes more worthy than feeding a famished population of people. And there may not be a pocket of the world more in need than drought-ridden Somalia, which Antonio Guterres, head of the United Nations Relief Agency, calls home to “the worst humanitarian disaster” in the world.
But what can a person living in the Minnesota suburbs possibly do to put a dent in 12 million starving Somalis, Kenyans, and Ethiopians currently facing the worst drought since the 1950s? It just sounds daunting.
The Minnetonka School District is offering a new arts experience for its elementary students.
“This is a huge undertaking for us” says Trent Boyum, artistic director of the new project. “Our district is very dedicated to the arts, and wanted to create a new opportunity for elementary students. In order to include a large number of students we decided to produce a stage musical at each school. We’ve found a really new and innovative way to involve all of our students interested in musical theatre.”
