300 Women Business Leaders Celebrate Innovation and Collaboration
Approximately 300 women business leaders from South Florida and across the country came together Oct. 7 for the inaugural Office Depot Foundation Women’s Symposium at Office Depot Corporate Headquarters in Boca Raton. In an atmosphere inspired by innovation and collaboration, the symposium helped women gain a new
understanding and appreciation of how to become even more successful. The Women’s Symposium was inspired by Mary Wong, president of the Office Depot Foundation, who is known as one of the most passionate, creative, dynamic and energetic business leaders in South Florida. It’s these same qualities that shaped the symposium. “The theme of our symposium was ‘Maximizing Success through Innovation and Collaboration.’ We believe that innovation and collaboration are fundamental principles that must be present in order to achieve success – and then to become even more successful,” said Wong. “This symposium aligns with the education and capacity-building strategies of the Office
Depot Foundation – and with our overall commitment to making a difference. We thank everyone for believing in our vision for the inaugural Office Depot Foundation Women’s Symposium.” Symposium attendees included a wide range of individual entrepreneurs, consultants and representatives from small businesses, mid-size companies, major corporations, the nonprofit sector and the education community. A group of high school students from the Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program also participated. Throughout the day, the conversation was advanced by 35 women business leaders from the South Florida community who served as facilitators at attendees’ tables.

Unlikely Allies Feel “Pride”
“Pride” is another fact-based story inspired by the highly unlikely alliance between the striking National Union of Mineworkers and a ragtag group of London gay and lesbian activists in the United Kingdom in 1984, when ultra-conservative Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister. Thatcher was known as the “Iron Lady,” and she didn’t intend to knuckle under to Welsh miners who wanted increased pay and better working conditions. One would assume she was even less in favorite of flamboyant, noisy homosexuals. Written by Stephen Beresford and
directed by Matthew Warchu(“God of Carnage”), “Pride” is essentially a comedy- a colorful one at thatwith a social conscience. “Pride” is a word often used by gay and lesbian activists who will love this movie. This little film may make straight people better understand that pride, for if burly, begrimed macho miners can find common ground with flouncy, prancing homosexuals, who cannot learn to get along?

Slow Burn “Wonderettes” at Broward Center
By Skip Sheffield
Slow Burn Theatre of Boca Raton has taken a giant step forward with its debut production of “The Marvelous Wonderettes” at Broward Center for the Arts. The musical comedy revue, which has a long run through Nov. 23, will not be the first of Slow Burn productions at Broward Center. It’s just the beginning of a relationship that will eventually make Slow Burn the house theater company at Broward Center. “Marvelous Wonderettes” is an eye-catching crowd-pleaser with fabulous, funny costumes by Rick Pena. It’s a kind of a female version of “Forever Plaid,” written and created by Roger Bean. There is hardly any plot. We meet the four girls of the title at their high school senior prom in Springfield, USA in 1958. In act two ten years have passed and the girls are having a tenth anniversary reunion. Director/choreographer Patrick Fitzwater was chosen his “girls” well by physical type, comedy chops and vocal ability. Abby Perkins is Missy, the somewhat quirky, offbeat character with funny 1950s glasses. Amy Miller Brennan (Cindy Lou) is a muchhonored South Florida actress/singer who most recently won the Carbonell award for Best Actress Musical in the Actors’ Playhouse production of “Ruthless.” Julie Kleiner (Betty Jean) is a local polished pro whose first professional gig was as Annie in “Annie Warbucks” at Broward Center. She even had her Bat Mitzvah in the same place that is now the Abdo New River
Room Theater. Bubbly, blond, voluptuous Suzy is played by Lindsey Corey, originally from Chattanooga, TN. She was one of the skating actresses in the Slow Burn production of “Xanadu.” Basically the songs are grouped by the decade, from solos to four-part harmonies. Act one has such 1950s girl group hits as “Lollipop,: “Born Too Late,” “I Only Want to be with You” and “Heatwave,” as well as pop hits such as “Allegheny Moon,” “All I Have to Do is Dream” and “Hold Me, Thrill Me,” “Kiss Me.” Act two has 1960s favorites such as “It’s My Party,” “Rescue Me,” “Respect” and “Wedding Bell Blues.” New at Broward Center is a New River Bistro on-site restaurant for the convenience of theater-goers. Prix fixe and a la carte dinners are offered two and half hours before evening curtain times and a 10 a.m. Sunday Brunch. Call 954-522-5334. Tickets for “Marvelous Wonderettes” showonly are $45 and may be reserved by calling TicketMaster at 800-745-3000 or online at BrowardCenter.org.

Ultra Pure Formula Equals Safety Some supplements may contain more than just omega-3. And some of that "extra" content you could do without, such as saturated fats, including unwanted omega-6 fatty acids, and toxins like mercury, lead, and PCBs commonly found in fish. Freezer Test Proves Purity Omax3® was shown in lab tests to be 91% pure, free of bad fats and toxins. You can prove this by freezing your own fish oil. Put a pill of your store bought brand of omega3 in the freezer overnight. Then put Omax3® Ultra PureTM in the freezer overnight. The difference is clear. The store bought brand will be cloudy, even a solid white. This is caused by the bad fats and toxins solidifying, which your body doesn’t need. Omax3® will remain clear, which equals safety and effectiveness. Fewer Pills Better Results The patented delivery system gives you 1.5g per serving in just two easy to swallow liquid gel capsules, compared to the 6-12 you would need to take of a store bought formula. This means fewer pills equals greater results, you can feel. Pharmaceutical Strength You now get the extreme health benefits you deserve and at the lowest possible price and without the fish burps! If you’re worried about cholesterol, painful joints,
