In its tribute to iconic choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton, the Sarasota Ballet makes the evening even more special with the addition of guest artist Marcelo Gomes, principal with the American Ballet Theatre. Gomes will dance in Ashton’s two-act love story, “The Two Pigeons.”

AN EVENING AT THE AVANT-GARDE ‘LIGHT YEARS AHEAD!’

Benefiting: Ringling College of Art and Design When: 6:30 p.m. Saturday, March 18 Where: Ringling College of Art and Design Chairs: Sherry and Tom Koski Tickets: $250 Call: 309-0118

Wednesday, April 19 Where: Michael’s On East Chairwomen: Donna Koffman, Tammy Karp and Diana Buchanan Tickets: $200 Call: 365-1277, Ext. 120 Child Protection Center is celebrating its fifth year of this signature fundraising event, and organizers are hoping to surpass the more than $370,000 that was raised last year. The evening is known for always featuring some of the best-live auction items of any event. Other than the always popular Michael’s On East dinners, past auctions have included everything from artwork to Useppa Island getaways. Most importantly, Child Protection Center Special Events Associate Mya Widmyer says the event committee’s goal is for every guest to leave the event with a full understanding of the mission of CPC.

Ringling College of Art and Design attracts some of the most imaginative students out there, so it comes as no surprise that its massive fundraiser is never anything short of a spectacle — and profitable.

In 2016, An Evening at the AvantGarde raised $270,000 net for Ringling student scholarships, and a quick look at our photos from the evening show that the attendees

did not take the dress code lightly.

This year, guests are challenged with a more focused theme: space.

We can’t wait to see the out-ofthis-world Buzz Lightyear, Luke Skywalker and Spock costumes.

DEBUTS ITS

FIRST NEW HOME COMMUNITY IN SAR ASOTA

Healthy living…peaceful water views…an ideal location— this is Artistry Sarasota, Kolter Homes’ first singlefamily new home community in Sarasota, the city that was recently ranked number 13 in the “Top 20 Most Desirable Places to Live” by US News readers.

Featuring winding roads and 100 acres of sparkling lakes, Artistry Sarasota is beautifully laid out so that 90 percent of the homes will offer lakefront or water view sites. A trail system of natural material and paved paths connect neighborhoods and preserve areas promoting walkability and healthy living.

Artistry Sarasota is beautifully laid out so that 90 percent of the homes will offer lakefront or water view sites.

Healthy living is also embraced in Artistry Sarasota’s home designs.

Kolter Homes’ sustainable building practices result in smarter, healthier homes. More windows and ceiling heights to 11’ 4” allow for an abundance of natural light. Energy efficient plumbing fixtures and appliances conserve water and energy while thermal doors and windows and sealed duct systems lower utility bills.

Kolter Homes plans to offer ten unique floorplans ranging from 2-5 bedrooms with open room design concepts that provide flexibility to maximize space. Using Kolter Homes’ Flex Options and Design Gallery, homebuyers can expand and personalize spaces, add outdoor living areas and incorporate a variety of structural and finish options to truly make their home a reflection of their distinctive style. Kolter’s Model Center at Artistry Sarasota will feature six designer-decorated homes and is currently scheduled to officially open for tours in April.

Soon after the new home models open, Kolter Homes will begin work on The Club at Artistry Sarasota. This resident-only lakeside clubhouse plans to features a modern Fitness & Training Center, tennis courts and a resort-inspired pool with lap lanes and an expansive sun deck.

The Artistry Sarasota Model Center will open at 8900 Bernini Place, just off Iona Road one mile north of Bee Ridge Road and convenient to I-75, downtown, shopping and the airport.

Homebuyers interested in joining the VIP list for news and early previews of the model homes and community can learn more and register at ArtistrySarasota.com.

NEW YEAR, NEW BRAIN . . . NEW YOU! It’s been a month since you’ve made your New Year’s resolution. You carefully chose from several, right? Remember, your health starts and ends with brain health. Do you really think you can accomplish your goals if you are constantly stressed out, depressed or unfocused? The brain is the only organ in your body that is involved in everything you do; heavily involved in making you, You! What is your new year’s brain resolution - have you considered neurofeedback?

WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK? Gregg Sledziewski Founder/Managing Director

1440 Main Street | Sarasota, FL

Neurofeedback is a way to quantify and train brain activity. How it works is quite simple. Brain cells interact creating thoughts, sensations, actions and emotions, detectable as brain waves. Neurofeedback specifically monitors brain waves, looks for irregularities, then produces a signal that is designed to correct and guide brain waves back into a

healthy pattern. Overtime, the brain will learn to stay in healthy ranges on its own.

We utilize neurofeedback programs customized to you, to overcome a variety of issues and experience long lasting results. Neurofeedback focuses on building new neural pathways, strengthening the brain, rather than patching up symptoms.

WHAT WE DO AT THE BRAIN WAVE CENTER. Without drugs and using nationally recognized brain mapping techniques, we quickly establish brain function and initiate positive outcomes using noninvasive, customized Neurofeedback training programs.

Invest in scientific expertise — Support our Mission Since opening its doors in Sarasota in 2003, The Roskamp Institute has been at the forefront of efforts worldwide to better understand and ultimately cure debilitating diseases of the mind, such as Alzheimer’s Disease.

The Institute’s work offers hope to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and to veterans and military personnel: •

Their work has resulted in the advancement of several drug treatments for Alzheimer’s, one of which is in a Phase III trial in Europe. Very few potentially disease modifying drugs have advanced to this stage for Alzheimer’s Disease.

•

The Institute conducts scientific research to discover safe and effective new therapies to successfully treat disorders of the mind that impact veterans and military personnel.

The Institute’s work targets Traumatic Brain Injury, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Gulf

War Illness and other neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.

“We want all veterans to know that there is hope and that we are working day and night to find effective therapies and get them into the clinic.”

— Dr. Fiona Crawford, President and CEO of The Roskamp Institute

Take them live or we’ll steam for you!

LOTSA LOBSTER is a Maine lobster and New England seafood market. Although there’s no dine in, Suzanne will steam the lobsters for you to enjoy at home! Pick your own from our 1,000 gallon tank, or call ahead and we’ll have it ready.

Fresh from the North, our seafood includes haddock, cod, sword, tuna, salmon, sea scallops, mussels, steamer clams, stuffed clams and crab cakes. We also offer a local selection of grouper, snapper and shrimp. Treats from the freezer include frog legs, octopus, langostino, crawfish meat and Danvers Butchery Marinated Meats. Be sure to ask Suzanne for a sample of her special Summer Salad before you go! And to round out your dinner, grab a Key Lime Pie from Sarasota’s local Caribbean Pie Company.
