FRIDAY EVENT COMING UP…
On Fri. July 30, the movie, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, will be opening at The Tropic Cinema on Eaton St. One of the producers, Anne O’Shea, who lives in Key West, is planning a gala Grand KW Opening. At 6 PM, there will be a Champagne reception with nibbles from Square One Restaurant…did I say there would be unlimited bubbly? The screening will take place at 7:00 PM in the big theater after a few words from Anne. Getting your tix ahead of time is highly recommended as I think this will be a smash! This movie is getting a lot of press and great raves…stars Annette Benning and Julianna Moore…and there is Oscar Buzz all around it!

Hi Lynda –
We got back from NJ/NY recently, and I had bought some Bazooka bubblegum.
Here are a few cute sayings, we thought you may be able to use in your newsletter, (they’re from the comics wrapped around the gum.)
l) Don’t sweat the small stuff. Better yet, don’t sweat at all.
2) A rolling student gathers no moss.
I don’t think they’re puns, though.
Anyway, see you soon.
