He's been the recipient of the "Manager of the Year" Award, the Women's Network "Endurance of Spirit" Award, the Benjamin Arthur Banker Educational Excellence Award, and the James J.

WE CELEBRATE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTING SO MANY LIVES WITH MS “DINNER OF CHAMPIONS” HONOREE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA & NEVADA MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY LISA HORNE One of seven daughters, Lisa Horne had a wonderful childhood with loving parents. A devout Catholic since childhood days, Lisa was the valedictorian of her class at Immaculate Heart High School. She graduated from USC, studied abroad in Madrid, and was very active in Pi Beta Phi Sorority. Lew and Lisa met at USC and were married upon Lisa's graduation. They raised four children (Laura, Lewis, Christina and Kimberly). They lost their son Lewis at 15 years-old, and received an extraordinary outpouring of love and support from their community and church. Lisa has always been extraordinarily engaged in her children’s activities, along with being a community and church activist. In her school parish, Lisa taught the Parish Religious Education Program (CCD), headed a grief group, and created a Mother’s Rosary Group (still active after 15 years). She was the Chairman of the Parish Annual Fundraiser and School Raffle, served as a leader of Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops for many years, and was a FOCUS teacher (Formation of Character, Understanding, and Self-Esteem) for all grades. Lisa volunteered as an art teacher and room mother for many years, and served as the 8th grade yearbook chairman for various classes. Lisa has been on academic boards, along with the Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy Building and Grounds Committee, and was the USC Kappa Kappa Gamma Parent Club President. With a focus on community service to the sick and poor, Lisa has been active in the National Charity League, the Christ Child Society, Right to Life League, Catholic Big Brothers/Big Sisters and most recently became a provisional member of the Order of Malta. She is looking forward to being fully invested in the Order this coming May. WE CELEBRATE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUALS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTING SO MANY LIVES WITH MS DOROTHY CORWIN “SPIRIT OF LIFE” HONOREE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA & NEVADA MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY CHRISTINA HORNE Christina Horne grew up in Pasadena, California as one of four children in a fabulous family. She attended Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy HS, pursuing her love of the arts. She starred in a number of musicals, performed in a competitive dance company, and spent 7 years with the prestigious Los Angeles Children’s Chorus; performing at Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl along with the Los Angeles Master Chorale. She received her school’s Performing Arts Award for exemplary work in Fine Arts. Christina is equally passionate about charitable work, very active in the National Charity League and the Girl Scouts, and was a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient. She raised money for new prosthetics for children in Guatemala and traveled to meet the children. She received the ‘Saint Catherine of Siena Award’ at her high school graduation, given to a student with “compassion, courage, dedication and faith.” Christina followed in her parents’ footsteps attending University of Southern California (USC), and graduated with an English Major and Double Minor in Marketing and Consumer Behavior. She studied abroad in Madrid and was very involved in her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. At 22, only months after starting her career at CBRE, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She has received extraordinary care at USC Keck Medical Center; and new medications and therapies (under the direction of Dr. Lilyana Amezcua and Dr. Daniel Pelletier) have created remarkable results. Christina feels multiple sclerosis has given her the opportunity to adjust her perspective and grow. In 2014 she traveled to Lourdes, France with the Knights and Dames of Malta -- bathing in the healing waters. Christina has always been very religious, and her faith has helped her accept the challenges life has thrown her way. “Although I never imagined my life would take this particular path, I am confident that I will be able to overcome the challenges I will be faced with in the future,” said Christina. “Don’t get me wrong, I am scared for what may be in store, but I have a tremendous amount of faith and I know we will find a cure.” She is so appreciative of her family, friends and everyone who has helped support the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

    COMING TO YOU LIVE A short play by Donnetta Lavinia Grays A Baltimore Center Stage / Play at Home Commission Evan Morse / Vern Co The Gersh Agency Literary Department 41 Madison Avenue, 33rd Floor New York, NY 10010 212.634.8169 / (212) 634-8190 © 2020 Donnetta Lavinia Grays [email protected] / [email protected] If you’ve watched Soul Train, then you know what you’re about to get into. This is all about celebrating Funk, Soul and R&B Music. 1970s and 1980s style. So, get down. Get funky. Get loose! Oh! This show is loosely imagined as if the characters of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream were to assemble as various Funk/Soul bands. Do you need to read or know that play? Not really. But hopefully some of you will find the subtle hints charming. WHAT YOU WILL NEED • THE INTERNET. Some of you may not know who the artists referenced in this play are and that’s okay. Part of the hope here is that you go down a rabbit hole of funk, soul and R&B classics and have a good time doing it. For others, it will be a trip down Memory Lane. Look up what you don’t know and fill in the rest. Trust me, your playlists are about to get better! • DRESS THE PART. Everyone should dress as foxy or as fly as they can. Lots of feathers and sequins if possible. • NOISE MAKERS. Bands of this era had a bass, drums/high hat, a synthesizer (optional) and, of course, a solid horns section.

  • American Soul Creative Marketing Concepts 10.24.18 American Soul
    AMERICAN SOUL CREATIVE MARKETING CONCEPTS 10.24.18 AMERICAN SOUL ABOUT THE SHOW American Soul is the story about the struggle to make the dream of Soul Train come true. Set in the early 70’s, filled with music, dance, fashion and glamour, this is the untold story of the launch of the first nationally syndicated Black music show and what happened when the music stops. Battles with record labels for top talent, off-camera drama as young dancers vie for the spotlight, stand in the way of a 30-something Don Cornelius who is sacrificing all that he loves to follow his dream. The journeys of these characters collide in a racially charged LA with the odds stacked against them. All they have is each other and the magic of Soul Train. 2 AMERICAN SOUL AMERICAN SOUL AMERICAN SOUL AMERICAN SOUL THEAMERICAN CAST SOUL AMERICAN SOUL THE CAST AND CHARACTERSTE CAST TEST CAT AN CAACTERS TE CAST TES DON1.)

  • Download a PDF of the Inventory B
    PUBLIC COLLECTORS Records Collection Inventory of: Marc Fischer Chicago, IL, USA About PUBLIC COLLECTORS Public Collectors consists of informal agreements where collectors allow the contents of their collection to be published and permit those who are curious to directly experience the objects in person. Participants must be willing to type up an inventory of their collection, provide a means of contact and share their collection with the public. Collectors can be based in any geographic location. Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public. The purpose of this project is for large collections of materials to become accessible so that knowledge, ideas and expertise can be freely shared and exchanged. Public Collectors is not intended, nor should it be used for buying and selling objects. There are many preexisting venues for that. Collectors can accommodate viewers at whatever location is most com - fortable or convenient for them. If their collection is portable or can be viewed in a location other than the collector’s home, this would still be an appropriate way to participate in the project. In addition to hosting collection inventories and other information, www.publiccollectors.org includes digital collections that are suitable for web presentation, do not have a physical material analog, or are difficult or impossible to experience otherwise.
