Last week, Tim Fuller attended the ASAE in Chicago. Civic Center shared 4 other venues through Visit Florida, held at McCormick Place in Chicago. ASAE, the American Society of Association Executives, holds this convention once each year with over 38,000 members from their convention. It is an ideal place to meet prospects that could use our great Civic Center for regional meetings, trade shows and educational events. We successfully obtained the list of all attendees and directly discussed our ASAE Booth in Chicago venue with over 73 event planners, along with learning a great deal from other similar properties from around the country. This is one more outreach to bring business to Port St. Lucie.

  • Kpop-Textbook.Pdf
    Chapter 1: What is Kpop? K-pop (an abbreviation of Korean pop or Korean popular music) is a musical genre consisting of electronic, hip hop, pop, rock, and R&B music originating in South Korea. In addition to music, K-pop has grown into a popular subculture among teenagers and young adults throughout Asia, resulting in widespread interest in the fashion and style of Korean idol groups and singers. Kpop is . Culture One of the more problematic cultural aspects of Kpop is perfection. It’s like taking a mold and using it to shape young men and women into what they’re “supposed to look like.” Plastic surgery is acceptable and in most cases, preferable. It’s not an idea exclusive to the music industry; it’s a lesson taught starting in the home. Image is everything. The rich working class lifestyle is a goal that needs to be achieved. The pressures of achieving perfection – working hard, studying endlessly, and deconstruction of the face and body – are an everyday thing But Kpop also highlights everything that is amazing about Korean culture. There’s a term called the Hallyu Wave, which represents all of Korean pop culture: the music, the dramas, the beauty/skincare, the food, the traditional clothing, the importance of family and respect, and the history behind this beautiful country. For fans like me, there is no better feeling in the world than to see these artists live out their lives as happily as they can. I love to feel the music lift me up from the day’s chaos and give me the strength to set one foot in front of the other.
