Minhas Breweries, Distilleries and Winery, which she co-founded with her brother, produces more than 90 brands of beer, spirits, liquor, and wine.

ARTS & CULTURAL EVENTS National Constitution Center Kicks Off 19th Amendment Centennial Celebration in March for Women’s History Month ugust 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which expanded the right to vote to women across the country. This year, as part of the National Constitution Center’s yearlong Women and the Constitution initiative and opening of The 19th Amendment: How Women Won the Vote exhibit, the Center will offer a wide variety of programs and events celebrating this constitutional milestone. Special museum programming will kick off in March for Women’s History Month and include the “Four Harriets” program, the “Votes for Women” educational music video workshop that looks at the women’s suffrage movement— inspired by the music of Lady Gaga, and a special self-guided tour highlighting important moments in women’s history.

A
beth Cady Stanton.

The tours will highlight the journey of women’s suffrage in America and the passage of the 19th Amendment. The National Constitution Center will host one of its popular Girl Scout Days on Saturday, March 28.

Philadelphia Premiere of Fantastic Fungi March 26 Ahead of 4th Annual Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival escribed by the Los Angeles Times as “a documentary of epic proportions,” Fantastic Fungi will make its Philadelphia premiere at the Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival with co-presenter the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University on Thursday, March 26, 2020. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson, Fantastic Fungi will be shown in more than 500 venues across the globe including in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Paris, Sydney, Melbourne, Sao Paulo, Panama City, Mexico City, Vancouver, Toronto, and Tokyo. Fantastic Fungi is a revelatory time-lapse journey from 2019 Maui Film Festival Visionary Award honoree and director Louie Schwartzberg. Fantastic Fungi is about the magical, mysterious and medicinal world of fungi and their power to heal, sustain and contribute to the regeneration of life on Earth that began 3.5 billion years ago. Shown through the eyes of mycologists including renowned mushroom specialist Paul Stamets, this stunning documentary explores the unlimited potential of fungi in the fields of food, medicine, expanding consciousness, bioremediation, neurogenesis, and treating endof-life anxiety. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. “The Philadelphia premiere of this groundbreaking visual fungi fiesta is showcasing the essential mission of the Festival to its core,” said Alexandra Drobac Diagne, Artistic Director of the Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival. “We are shining a brilliant spotlight on a forgotten global hero, fungi, which is making a mainstream emergence as what could someday save our planet.” Mesmerizing time-lapse imagery reveals mushrooms’ remarkable toughness, as they power up through dead wood and stone-hard asphalt. As we watch fungi turn solid rock into soil, we grasp a key mechanism of life on Earth: fungi are not just decomposers, but composers continually producing the ingredients of new life, sustaining our ecosystem. Fantastic Fungi will bring to light the numerous benefits of mushrooms as well as the incredible fungal web present beneath the forest floor. An all-star team of artists, scientists, doctors and explorers have joined forces to create a life-affirming, mind-bending film about the mushroom and its mysterious root-like structure: mycelium. What they reveal will blow your mind, and possibly save the planet. Fantastic Fungi begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Academy, 1900 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia. Tickets are available through the Philadelphia Environmental Film Festival’s website at www.philaenvirofilmfest.org.

Gabriel Figueroa, of Downingtown, PA, is one of 14 featured in a new ad in New York City’s Times Square this March for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Diagnosed with stage III colon cancer at 51 years old, Figueroa is an awareness ambassador for Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC), the country’s leading colorectal cancer advocacy organization. The Public Service Announcement appeared during the NASDAQ Opening Bell Ceremony on Feb. 26 at 9 a.m. ET. Figueroa’s story will be featured on Fight CRC’s Facebook page on March 11. Colon and rectal (colorectal) cancers are the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. among men and women combined. Sixty percent of colorectal cancer deaths could be prevented with screening. Figueroa has dedicated a year of volunteer time to Fight CRC to raise awareness of the importance of screening using his personal story in an effort to save lives. “I hope that my story and experiences can help create awareness and change policy for colorectal cancer patients everywhere,” said Figueroa. His story is one of many launching the annual Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month campaign, a movement uniting over one million survivors of colorectal cancer and their loved ones to get behind a cure and prevent future cases with screening. “Each year Fight CRC selects a group of ambassadors from across the country to represent our community year-round, and especially during March, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. They bravely rally to raise awareness for this disease,” said Anjee Davis, president of Fight CRC. “We hope their stories resonate with people and provoke the over 30 million people aged 45 years and older who have NOT been screened to get screened! We want their stories to encourage fellow survivors and families, as well as remind people to talk to their doctor about their screening options.” Be a relentless champion in the fight against colorectal cancer and give hope to all of those in the fight for their lives.

Victory Brewing Company co-founders Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet will be inducted into the Chester County Business Hall of Fame by the Chester County Economic Development Council on April 1, 2020. CCEDC’s annual Business Achievement Award Dinner attended by more than 400 of the region’s top business leaders on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 at the historic Phoenixville Foundry. The public is invited to register and attend, and sponsorships are available. “This year, CCEDC is celebrating 60 years of developing business in Chester County, and we’re pleased to do so with another Chester County classic, Victory Brewing Company,” says Gary Smith, CCEDC President and CEO. “Our story with Victory traces back to 1995. At the time, Bill and Ron were two guys with an idea. It turns out that great idea would be at the forefront of our country’s craft beer movement, and CCEDC is proud it was able to help support such innovation from the very beginning.” Smith says Covaleski and Barchet required two critical resources that are key to the success of all growing businesses: Location and financing. Through its network of location services, CCEDC was able to assist Victory Brewing with securing its iconic flagship brewery and restaurant in Downingtown, PA at the site of the former Pepperidge Farm. CCEDC also facilitated a business loan to assist with equipment needs and help build the brewery into the craft beverage powerhouse it is today. “CCEDC endeavors to promote a stable operating environment for businesses here in Chester County, which includes financing strategies for growth,” says Covaleski. “We are joining a fantastic group of business leaders with this award, and it is an overwhelming honor to be considered amongst this group. It puts real perspective on our big dreams and incredible team effort on the part of all Victory Brewing Company team members over these 24 years.” Says Barchet, “Gary Smith and his team at CCEDC have been with us at so many critical points. When we opened our doors in 1996 in Downingtown, Bill and I already understood that the key to our success would be acceptance by our local community. This CCEDC Hall of Fame Award is an acknowledgement of the importance of serving this incredible community. The business scene is vibrant and, equally important, it’s a great location to raise a family. The open space,
try. They brought that knowledge back home to Chester County to create Victory Brewing Company, which now employs more than 300 people in the state of Pennsylvania, including in Downingtown, Parkesburg and Kennett Square. Victory’s expansion continues with plans to open another location at Philadelphia’s Logan Square later this year that is expected to add 100 full- and part-time jobs. Victory Brewing Company’s success is also noteworthy in the communities it serves. The company organizes volunteer efforts throughout the year, including during last year’s Brandywine River Clean Up with the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance. Victory employees also plant crops at Pete’s Produce Farm to benefit the Chester County Food Bank, which operates the Fresh2You mobile market that brings fresh local product to underserved communities in the area. In partnership with the Lord’s Pantry of Downingtown, Victory has recently matched $3,500 in donations collected by its employees to provide gifts & gift cards for more than 30 children and their caregivers over the holidays. Notes Smith, “It’s truly a pleasure for CCEDC to recognize the legacy of a company that has excelled in growth and also given back.” Past inductees into the Chester County Business Hall of Fame include Michael L. Pia, Director of South Mill Champs (2019); Claudia P. Hellebush, Former CEO of United Way of Chester County (2018); Dr. Jerry Parker, President of Delaware County Community College (2017); W. Thomas Musser, Chairman of The Tri-M Group, LLC (2016); John Bogle of The Vanguard Group; Greg Bentley of Bentley Systems; Oscar Lasko of Lasko Products, Inc.; Jack Loew of J.

She understands the best way to illuminate this seemingly unresolvable debate is not to debate it at all and her provocative play focuses instead on putting a human face to the issue and how people manage to care about one another, or fail to, in spite of religious and ideological conflict. The play celebrates life and the willingness of people to fight for life. Rather than taking a black and white stance on abortion the play explores the gray areas of the issue. Through this lens, the drama looks at themes of social accountability, the realities of procreation, the extent of individual freedom, forgiveness, and victim’s rights. Tickets are available by calling 215-248-0546 or online at www.allenslane.org. Tickets are $25; tickets reservations can be made online, by phone, or purchased at the door for each performance.

with Tibet, Burma, Laos, and Vietnam. With snow-capped mountains to the Northwest and tropical rainforests to Hiro Sakaguchi’s “Lullaby,” 2016. the South, Yunnan is rich in natural resources and has the largest diversity of plant life in China. While in Yunnan, Colette discovered that her Great-Grandfather helped establish the university where she was teaching, was a member of the powerful black Yi tribe, and was the governor and general of Yunnan during the transitional years of WWII. There are twenty-five ethnic minority groups that reside in Yunnan, which comprise less than 9% of the nation’s population. Many people inside China, and most people outside of the country, are unaware of this cultural richness. Fu currently resides in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Claes Gabriel’s work combines the cultural richness of Haiti with contemporary practice and use of materials that mimic tribal masks and totems. The shape of each piece informs its unique personality, which Gabriel heightens with bright color, eyes, and lips. Gabriel’s first influence was his father, Jacques Gabriel (1934–1988), a classically-trained painter who depicted the lushness and vibrant life of Haiti in his own paintings. He was also influenced by contemporary artists such as Frank Stella and Sam Gilliam. Referencing Haitian culture through color, folklore, and his own imagined tales, Gabriel creates a mythical like presences in each artwork. He currently lives and works in West Philadelphia, PA. Hiro Sakaguchi was born in Nagano, Japan and grew up in Chiba City, near Tokyo. Arriving in the US in the 1990s, Sakaguchi creates ambiguous atmospheric paintings based on his memories of life growing up in Japan. His work reflects issues of environment, ecology, science, world history, peace and conflict, and popular culture. Symbolism and narrative provide a conceptual platform for him. Models, toys, and games from childhood often appear in his works. This innocent point of departure allows Sakaguchi to get at the heart of more current topics and adult concerns while simultaneously telling a loosely autobiographical story. Sakaguchi currently has a studio and resides in Lansdowne, PA. RSVP to the Opening Reception: www.eventbrite.com/e/tracing-origins-artists-talk-opening-reception-tickets-96099523261. All gallery events are free and open to the public. Rowan University Art Gallery is located at 301 High Street W., Glassboro, NJ 08028 (phone: 856-256-4521).
