Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club and the city of Vero Beach have a rich history in supporting professional tennis. The last time that the USTA Womens Pro Circuit visited Vero Beach was in 2014 at the Vero Beach Tennis Club. The 2014 event featured six players that have so far gone on to achieve career-high world rankings of 58 or better and was won by Laura Seigemund of Germany, who reached a career-high of 27 in the world in 2016. The second round of qualifying in 2014 featured a 16-year-old Naomi Osaka of Japan, against a 15-year-old American, Sofia Kenin. Over the last 15 months, Osaka has gone on to achieve the World Number 1 Ranking, won the very dramatic 2018 US Open by beating Serena Williams, and triumphed at the 2019 Australian Open. Kenin has recently been voted the 2019 Most-Improved Player on the WTA Tour as she won three WTA Titles this season and competed as an alternate at the 2019 WTA Finals in Shenzhen, China, which prompted her to rise to a career-high number 12 in the world.

McKee’s Ocean Sole Exhibition will be on display throughout the Garden from November 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020. This exhibition features 40 brightly colored, whimsical hand-crafted marine species sculptures made from recycled flip flops that have washed upon the shores of Africa and were created by artisans from Ocean Sole located in Kenya.



The story of each sculpture begins as a flip flop on someone’s feet, which is later discarded and ultimately ends up in our earth’s waterways, landfills and oceans. The artists collect, clean, compress and carve it into beautiful art. The sculptures are made from upcycled EVA rubber flip flops, contact adhesive glue, and in some of the larger sculptures, recycled Styrofoam and wire.



Ocean Sole’s mission is to turn flip flop pollution into inspiring art to promote conservation and create employment. Their focus is 100% on conservation entrepreneurship. Ocean Sole positively impacts over 1,000 Kenyans through the collection of flip flops and direct employment. Their masterpieces create employment for a country that has 40% unemployment, but also sends a message about how we can help our planet, our oceans and people. Revenue generated from the sale of these sculptures helps clean up the beaches, provide vocational and educational programs to Kenyans, and supports conservation efforts. Over 80% of land waste ends up in our seas, impacting both human and marine life. Recycling efforts on the East African coast have made significant improvements to the environment and the quality of life within the areas which Ocean Sole operates and impacts.

______________________________________________
This week's dharma talk is: SPACIOUSNESS: THE GRANDNESS THAT IS EVERYWHERE

"There is a presence, a silence, a stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being." --- Mooji

Lets explore the wonder and simplicity of nothingness; connect with the nothingness of everything. Together we will attempt to understand this concept of empty spaciousness in a real way so we can relax into it and just be.

Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club and the city of Vero Beach have a rich history in supporting professional tennis. The last time that the USTA Womens Pro Circuit visited Vero Beach was in 2014 at the Vero Beach Tennis Club. The 2014 event featured six players that have so far gone on to achieve career-high world rankings of 58 or better and was won by Laura Seigemund of Germany, who reached a career-high of 27 in the world in 2016. The second round of qualifying in 2014 featured a 16-year-old Naomi Osaka of Japan, against a 15-year-old American, Sofia Kenin. Over the last 15 months, Osaka has gone on to achieve the World Number 1 Ranking, won the very dramatic 2018 US Open by beating Serena Williams, and triumphed at the 2019 Australian Open. Kenin has recently been voted the 2019 Most-Improved Player on the WTA Tour as she won three WTA Titles this season and competed as an alternate at the 2019 WTA Finals in Shenzhen, China, which prompted her to rise to a career-high number 12 in the world.

A retired couple, recently settled in Florida, is tired of their grown children and grandchildren constantly intruding in their life to check up on the old folks. Inspired by their new and somewhat carefree neighbors, they decide on a drastic way to get some needed time alone: They tell their children theyve become nudists. Their ploy works, but in some rather unexpected ways.

Max Bialystock, the one-time king of Broadway producers is hungry to strike it rich, and Leo Bloom, an accountant has dreams of someday becoming a theatre producer. They discover they can get rich by producing a flop rather than a hit, and start by finding the worst show, worst director, and worst actors. Complications arise when their new production, the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler" turns out to be a smash success. The humor of the show draws on ridiculous accents, caricatures, and many show business in-jokes.
Thursday, January 16th through Sunday, February 2nd, 2020. Thursday through Saturday at 8:00 PM, and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00 PM.
For tickets, call 772-287-4884 or visit The Barns website; barn-theatre.com. Tickets are $35, children and students under 18; $15. Call the box office for group and student discounts. The Barn Theatre is a non-profit 501(c)3 community theatre. 2400 SE Ocean Blvd, Stuart, FL

Over 80% of land waste ends up in our seas, impacting both human and marine life. Recycling efforts on the East African coast have made significant improvements to the environment and the quality of life within the areas which Ocean Sole operates and impacts.

Grand Harbor Golf & Beach Club and the city of Vero Beach have a rich history in supporting professional tennis. The last time that the USTA Womens Pro Circuit visited Vero Beach was in 2014 at the Vero Beach Tennis Club. The 2014 event featured six players that have so far gone on to achieve career-high world rankings of 58 or better and was won by Laura Seigemund of Germany, who reached a career-high of 27 in the world in 2016. The second round of qualifying in 2014 featured a 16-year-old Naomi Osaka of Japan, against a 15-year-old American, Sofia Kenin. Over the last 15 months, Osaka has gone on to achieve the World Number 1 Ranking, won the very dramatic 2018 US Open by beating Serena Williams, and triumphed at the 2019 Australian Open. Kenin has recently been voted the 2019 Most-Improved Player on the WTA Tour as she won three WTA Titles this season and competed as an alternate at the 2019 WTA Finals in Shenzhen, China, which prompted her to rise to a career-high number 12 in the world.

A retired couple, recently settled in Florida, is tired of their grown children and grandchildren constantly intruding in their life to check up on the old folks. Inspired by their new and somewhat carefree neighbors, they decide on a drastic way to get some needed time alone: They tell their children theyve become nudists. Their ploy works, but in some rather unexpected ways.

Max Bialystock, the one-time king of Broadway producers is hungry to strike it rich, and Leo Bloom, an accountant has dreams of someday becoming a theatre producer. They discover they can get rich by producing a flop rather than a hit, and start by finding the worst show, worst director, and worst actors. Complications arise when their new production, the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler" turns out to be a smash success. The humor of the show draws on ridiculous accents, caricatures, and many show business in-jokes.

McKee’s Ocean Sole Exhibition will be on display throughout the Garden from November 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020. This exhibition features 40 brightly colored, whimsical hand-crafted marine species sculptures made from recycled flip flops that have washed upon the shores of Africa and were created by artisans from Ocean Sole located in Kenya.



The story of each sculpture begins as a flip flop on someone’s feet, which is later discarded and ultimately ends up in our earth’s waterways, landfills and oceans. The artists collect, clean, compress and carve it into beautiful art. The sculptures are made from upcycled EVA rubber flip flops, contact adhesive glue, and in some of the larger sculptures, recycled Styrofoam and wire.



Ocean Sole’s mission is to turn flip flop pollution into inspiring art to promote conservation and create employment. Their focus is 100% on conservation entrepreneurship. Ocean Sole positively impacts over 1,000 Kenyans through the collection of flip flops and direct employment. Their masterpieces create employment for a country that has 40% unemployment, but also sends a message about how we can help our planet, our oceans and people. Revenue generated from the sale of these sculptures helps clean up the beaches, provide vocational and educational programs to Kenyans, and supports conservation efforts. Over 80% of land waste ends up in our seas, impacting both human and marine life. Recycling efforts on the East African coast have made significant improvements to the environment and the quality of life within the areas which Ocean Sole operates and impacts.
