Monday, October 10, 2016The fair is the fourth Saturday of September. Mark your 2017 calendars; I know I will.COWFORD BALLOn Oct. 1, the American Cancer Society launched its 21st annual Cowford Ball in a new setting, the Morocco Shrine auditorium. The Denim & Diamonds gala was great fun from passed appetizers and a “Diamond 75” champagne beverage to a dinner buffet and live auction. Guests honored loved ones who have battled cancer by buying Cowford Ribbon Tributes and Ornaments for a Cure, a children’s art project. Folks dressed “western” in rhinestone studded denim and boots. The decorations committee knocked themselves out with statues of cows grazing at the entrance, and even the restrooms earned ohs and ahs as always. For example, the ladies room was draped with hot pink satin curtains and bows and a crystal chandelier, plus a video played Marilyn Monroe singing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.”A silent auction, gaming tables and drawings for a diamond bracelet or a special wine selection and music by The Party Crashers entertained folks until cancer survivor James Gardner stepped up to tell his story and talk about Hope Lodge, a home away from home for people who come to Jacksonville for life-saving treatment. Groundbreaking for the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation Hope Lodge is expected to take place in 2017 on the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville campus. It will serve patients seeking treatment from any cancer center in the area.About 1,000 people attended this year’s event raising about $500,000 for cancer research, prevention and early detection education as well as community-based patient services. More than $7.8 million has been raised since its inception in 1995. Credit for the 2016 success goes to an extensive committee headed by honorary chairs Irene and Gasper Lazzara and event chairs Jennifer and John Lazzara, Rachel and Chris Lazzara and Jessica and Chris Wynne. The Lazzara Family Foundation was a top sponsor along with Mary Jane and Jack Uible.CUMMBER BEACHESCummer Beaches is the new name for The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens’ Beaches support group (formerly FOCUS Cummer.) The museum also is undergoing changes, Cummer Beaches members learned at a Sept. 27 Sawgrass Beach Club kick-off cocktail party. “We have an extraordinary vision for expansion of programming,” Cummer director for advancement Lori Ann Whittington said. The former women’s club building on museum property was razed and a new facility will be built to use for programs. That will allow the current auditorium to be turned into more gallery space. Also in the works is a rebuild of Art Connections for children and a new garden learning center. “The Cummer you love is going to continue to improve, continue to expand,” Whittington assured.COO and Chief Curator Holly Keris talked about how the museum builds its collection. Nina Cummer established its core as her legacy in the 1940s. She wanted to acquire top periods and movements in western art history. An early acquisition was a donation of Meissen Porcelain. It is one of the top three Meissen collections in the world. The museum currently owns 5,000 original artworks, 80 percent of which were acquired through gifts, but “you can’t rely solely on gifts…really significant acquisitions are likely to require multiple sources of funding,” Keris said. In the 1960...
Monday, September 26, 2016Once, he worked on a man who’d been shot 54 times. “Dealing with death every day is not for everybody,” he says. “It can be overwhelming.” He takes time off to visit Spain or Morocco with a group of funeral directors (his wife of 33 years is not keen on traveling; his four adult children are out of the house), but he always misses his work.“I was born to be an embalmer,” Bryant says. “I’ve never been afraid of this. I never struggled with it in school. I picked it up”—he snaps his fingers—“like that. I don’t know what it’s like to have a job; I just get up every day and do something I love to do.”Tags: Business, The Culture, death and dying, james brian, national embalmer of the year...
