You are guaranteed to have a great time while helping out the esteemed Waterfront Playhouse raise badly needed funds. This weekly contest runs through March 21, so, as I stated, you only have three more chances to attend….your presence there would mean the world to me, and to the theater and our contestants. If you have been attending, I thank you with ALL my heart and I hope you tell all your friends how fun and entertaining it is! Read below about what to expect on Tuesday, March 7 at Aqua Idol at 711 Duval St.

This Tuesday, we will lose two contestants….and I believe we will lose three on March 14. If you want a good seat, make sure you get there early enough to claim one!

You will see the the word SUPPORT. Click on Support….Then, just below that will be DONATE ONLINE….Click that….You will then see a long box with the words Waterfront Playhouse.

AQUA IDOL PRIZE PACKAGE…HOW YOU CAN HELP??? …I am in the process of assembling the Prize Package to be presented to the Top 3 Contestants on the final night, March 21. I love these singers who are going all out to raise badly needed dollars for the Waterfront Playhouse. I in turn try to get the best package for them. Some people have asked if they can help contribute and I say ‘but of course!’ How can you help? If you have unused nice items that you can donate…artwork, jewelry, gift certificates to shops and restaurants, services that you can provide, overnight stays at hotels and inns…or if you want to donate cool hard cash, I would greatly appreciate it. All donations are tax deductible and you will be sent a form for tax purposes and for your records. For those who want to donate cash, you can make checks payable to The Waterfront Playhouse and write Aqua Idol Prize Package on the memo line and send to Gary Symons, ATT: Aqua Idol… PO Box 724, Key West, FL 33041 or to me at 330 Caroline St., Key West, FL 33040.

UPDATE ON BRUCE MOORE….Many have asked for an update on former Broadway Baby, Bruce Moore, who won Aqua Idol two years ago. He has been undergoing chemotherapy for Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma since Oct. On Tuesday, March 7, he will have his final chemo session at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Several weeks after that, he will find out how everything went and what more he must go through, if anything. Join me in praying that he will be ‘cured’ and can move on with his life. He has had a rough time of it, but he has been a brave soldier and has done everything possible to get well. People have also asked me to include info on where they can send a note or a card. Send to him at Bruce Moore… 35 W. Broadway …Gettysburg, PA 17325. You can text him at 305-393-2276 or email him at brucemoorebroadway@gmail.com. I know he would love to hear from you.

TERRI WHITE NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!!…Our dear friend, Terri White has a rare blood disease called Little Chain Deposition Disease and Multiple Myeloma. The treatment of this very serious malady is chemotherapy and it is very costly. Unfortunately, Terri does NOT have insurance. Treatments are $1,500 a week plus $1,000 for prescriptions. She and partner, Donna Barnett, are doing everything possible to acquire financial aid, but to no avail. TERRI IS IN DIRE NEED OF YOUR HELP AT THIS CHALLENGING TIME. A GO FUND ME Account has been established to help her. Terri has done much volunteering for others in the community, and now she needs YOUR help. Please go to the Go Fund Me Site to contribute whatever you can.

Go to https://www.gofundme.com/terri-white-medical-fund?ssid=805222351&pos=1. I hope and pray that you will find it in your heart to be kind and generous. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I ask that you please contact Donna Barnett at donnab410@aol.com. Thank you.

BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY LISTS….If you would like to be included in the Birthday and Anniversary Lists that I send out every month, please let me know your month and day by sending that info to me at kwlynda@bellsouth.net. There are special perks to being on the lists!!!! One of the perks is having your name in KONK Life on the day of your Birthday!

PRAYER CHAIN…..Please continue to remember the following in your thoughts and prayers…Bruce Moore…..the family & friends of Richard Kruszynski ……Terri White …Bob Esty ….Nancy Lima…the de Boer Family on the loss of their father, Herman … the family & friends of Noreen Collins on the loss of her sister, Mary Rita….Snake Collins…..

Bocdow. …Dee Dee Duecker … Karla Muir … Vincent Gregory …Tony Freese… Jennifer O’Lear …Margaret Taylor … Roland Ryper …Patrick Richards. Remember, there are many reasons that we pray…not just because people are ill…. I do believe that when we all send prayers and good vibes to those in need, those prayers mystically meet and surround those being prayed for. Sometimes we pray for miracles and the impossible….sometimes we pray to just cope with the results of what happens to those we are praying for. Sometimes we pray for strength to go on and to accept…sometimes we pray for thanksgiving. We are in this thing called ‘Life’ together….and we all have power within us to help our fellow man. Bless you for remembering our loved ones….Prayer changes things! Let me know if you know of anyone who should be added to this list.

PLEASE READ THIS ABOUT THE SOS FOUNDATION IN KEY WEST…..The SOS Foundation is celebrating 10 years of service to the community by launching a campaign with a goal to reach $10,000. What IS this foundation, you may ask….It is a food recovery program located throughout Monroe County in the form of food pantries and school meal programs. The SOS strives to end hunger and poverty in Monroe County…HOW? By assisting the working poor through food assistance.

*** THE PISCES PERSONALITY….FEBRUARY 20 THRU MARCH 20TH!!! ***

This is either the sign of the saint or the sinner…or BOTH rolled into one! The symbol of Pisces are two fish swimming in different directions….and this describes the way Pisces can hit the heights or sink to the lowest depths. It’s a sign of extremes. Pisceans often come off as ‘otherworldly’….they are swayed by their emotions. The result is that Pisces is the sign of the Dreamer…the Visionary…the Saint! One of the most outstanding attributes of a Piscean is their kindness. They have a bottomless reservoir of compassion for others, even when they suspect they are being conned by them. They work hard for their favorite charities or local good causes….though you may not know anything about it as they don’t like advertising their good works. Many Pisceans say they go through life as in a dream, drifting and floating and at the mercy of whatever fate has to offer them. They have a great capacity to show emotion, and are easily moved to tears by TV shows that present suffering. They also struggle to face up to harsh reality. They hate unpleasant situations, harsh facts, and confrontations. They hate the awfulness of what is in the news….preferring to look at the world through rose colored glasses. They can actually deceive themselves into thinking things are better than they really are. They wear their heart on their sleeve, and what a huge heart they have!

They are born romantics, but that makes them very sensitive to hurt and pain. They pour out their affection to their favorite people. Most Pisceans are faithful…but some have a big capacity for deception and may be juggling a string of lovers! They see the best in others, which is why they have so many admirers. However, it also puts them at risk of potential heartbreak because it makes them blind to a loved one’s failings. The best signs for a Pisces are Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio, Libra, and Capricorn.

Pisceans are drawn to professions that are incredibly glamorous and artistic or those involving service to others. They are interested in careers as actors, photographers, dancers, designers, the cosmetic industry, and fashion. Many devote their lives to looking after others especially in hospitals, prisons and hospices. They can be totally self-sacrificing. They may also be attracted to the religious or contemplative life. Needless to say many are also living on the wrong side of the law. The best signs for a Piscean are Libra….Scorpio….Cancer and another Pisces.

WE LOVE OUR PISCES FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS & WISH THEM A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
