It’s a feeling that continues to be reinforced in the most unexpected ways. I recently received a phone call from Pete Bender, owner of Moorestown Hardware and lifetime resident of Moorestown. He informed me that his mother, Aurelia Bender, had recently passed away and that the family wanted to donate her beloved Beckstein Grand Piano to Perkins Center for the Arts. I have fond memories of Aurelia. She was a beloved teacher in the Conservatory of Music at Perkins Center and she was a regular performer in the Chamber Concert Series for many years. After she retired from these duties, there were many days when she’d stop by Perkins Center and we’d be treated to an impromptu concert of classic tunes. Aurelia had been living at the Lutheran Crossings Enhanced Living Center and when board member and Con - servatory faculty member, Frank Staneck and I went to see the piano, we were greeted by Pete and family mem - bers. Frank sat at the piano and from the first cords he played, Frank had a rapt and attentive audience which quickly segued into requests for specific compositions by Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninov, composers whose music was played regularly by Aurelia. Later, when I asked Pete about this, he spoke about how “music reaches directly to the soul and that whenever this piano is played, there a little piece of Aurelia echoing through the air.” Pete mentioned how Aurelia used to refer to “speaking to people through her hands” and I got a real sense about how this piano had grown to become a real and important part of the family. Pete went on to say that the donation to Perkins Center was important because of Aurelia’s involvement, the high regard for the Center and to ensure that for years to come the memory of Aurelia would echo throughout the hallways at Perkins Center. As a gifted classical pianist and teacher Aurelia generously shared her musical talents with the Moorestown community for over 50 years by volunteering, performing and teaching. She shared and instilled her love of classi - cal piano with hundreds of students and fellow teachers who benefited from her warmth and sincerity. In 1967 she co-founded the South Jersey Music Teachers Association which thrives to this day. A lifelong student, she continued to hone her knowledge and skills by taking courses in piano theory at Temple University and even attended a music symposium in Italy when she was 76. Another brother, Bob Bender, teaches a painting class at Perkins Center. I asked Bob about Aurelia and he spoke about how much “she loved teaching and her commitment to musicianship and her intuitive, hands on approach to learning, an approach she used when giving a lesson to a student and in raising each of her ten children!” We thank Aurelia and the Bender family their generous donation to Perkins Center for the Arts. Alan Willoughby, Executive Director Family members with the Beckstein piano donated to Perkins Center for the Arts, including (left to right); Pete Bender, Kathleen Manley-Bender, Steve Bender and Mark Bender.

  • EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS 12Th Annual Midwestern Conference: Update Course in Diagnostic Pathology October 4-6, 2019 – Milwaukee, WI, USA
    EXHIBITOR PROSPECTUS 12th Annual Midwestern Conference: Update Course in Diagnostic Pathology October 4-6, 2019 – Milwaukee, WI, USA SPRING 2019 Dear Prospective Conference Exhibitor: Pathology is moving and changing fast. With new advances in products and technology, the Midwestern Conference: Update Course in Diagnostic Pathology seeks to inform attending Pathologists of advances and connect them to providers around the world. Ensuring that Pathologists are provided with a comprehensive and practical update on diagnostic surgical pathology, including advances in molecular techniques and their application to diagnostic Pathology, are the focuses of the annual Conference. We are excited to announce that the 2019 event will be held at Milwaukee’s newest hotel venue – Saint Kate The Arts Hotel, October 4th – 6th. Due to open in June 2019, it has already been named as one of Frommer’s “12 Hot and Fresh Hotels to Book in 2019.” The Saint Kate, named for the patron saint of artists, Saint Catherine, is a one-of-its-kind destination focused on celebrating the arts in all forms and the creative process. Located in downtown Milwaukee, The Saint Kate is within walking distance to the entertainment district, art attractions, the Third Ward and Fiserv Forum, placing guests close to some of the best experiences that Milwaukee has to offer. While the ongoing goal of this three-day program continues to be providing thorough updates in diagnostic surgical pathology, this year we are pleased to devote special focus to Women’s Health Pathology. We hope that you’ll join us as we continue to take our Midwestern Conference to the next level of excellence, and we expect that the 2019 event will be even larger and more thought-provoking than past years.
