from the executive editor
have that delicious, charbroiled hamburger right after you
do something like that, and I promise you that burger will
taste a whole lot better - almost as good as freedom.
Teach these important lessons to your children. Tell them
never to forget those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
Encourage them to study history and better understand the
world they live in. Education is the key to our future and
our very being.
In this, our annual education issue, be sure to read Sue
Cullen’s article on the proposed new Mote Science
Education facility to be built at the edge of Nathan
Benderson Park. Its importance not only to our community
but to marine science is enormous. Then, we have stories
on Sarasota Youth Orchestra and its summer camp as well
as the Circus Arts Conservatory’s Sailor Circus summer
camp, both transformative experiences for our kids. We
also interview local philanthropists Ned & Mickey Davis,
whose philanthropy to at-risk kids and to education is
extraordinary.
Ryan Van Cleave shares the good news of the Community
Foundation of Sarasota County’s commitment to college
education through its scholarship program, which is one
of the largest in the state of Florida, and includes not only
students under 24, but also adults over 24 as well as those
with special interests.
Gus Mollasis interviews philanthropists Graci and Dennis
McGillicuddy, who are seeking assistance to build the All
Star Children’s Center – a campus of hope and healing
they believe will become a foster care model for the
country – a center that will transform foster care through
innovation, science and compassion. It is must-read
article that will educate you on the cycle of abuse and
why we need this vitally important center.
Lastly, we have some fun things to do with your kids this
summer, and that includes the library. Check it out. Your
local library has so many cool programs, and it’s airconditioned.
