On the May 24, 1983, episode of The Tonight Show, Johnny Carson introduced guest Mary Denham as, “Someone you all have seen, but you don’t know who she is.”
Chances are, you’ve seen her, too. On Feb. 9, Denham, a parttime Sarasota resident, appeared as David Beckham’s mother in a Stella Artois commercial that aired during this year’s Superbowl LIX. Her storied acting career includes dozens of commercials, 100-plus episodes on a daytime soap, and countless notable theater roles over several decades as a professional actor in New York City.
And Denham’s career continues today, as she spends part of the year in New York and part in the Sarasota home she purchased with her husband in 2017. Here, she loves to play tennis and attend local theaters and other cultural institutions—in between gigs, of course.
Growing up in England near a “wonderful repertory theater,” Denham said, “From a very, very young age, I was completely obsessed with theater and acting.”
Though she landed a spot in London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Denham instead followed her soon-to-be first husband to New York, where she began working as a model.
“Modeling was an easy venue to get into theater, commercials, and so forth,” she said. “I did extremely well in commercials. They wanted people who looked like models and could act. And I could do a lot of different accents. I had to be a dog

stars in Super Bowl ad
in one. I had to be a witch for Pond’s cold cream.”
From there, she landed a role OffBroadway in Tom Stoppard’s The Real Inspector Hound, opposite Ted Danson. The show ran for more than a year.
“He and I became really good friends,” she said of Danson. “We took it to the Kennedy Center. Then he went off to California to do Cheers, and I went to The Doctors.”
For two years and 106 episodes, Denham played Margo Stewart on The Doctors, a long- running soap opera on NBC. “I was a bitch!” she laughed. “Which was wonderfully funny. I had the best time on it.”
And while Denham also appreciated the training she got in memorizing lines—up to five scripts a week—she encountered a particularly difficult acting challenge: “The storyline was that my husband wanted me to have a baby, and [my character] was taking birth control,” she remembered. “I was pregnant at the time. They wrote a scene for me in a bathing suit in my eighth month! And they asked me, ‘Will it show?’”
She filmed the whole scene sitting down in the sand, with her knees up to cover her belly.
After that, it was back to doing theater, with the occasional TV guest role and “masses of commercials” in between. She understudied for both Meryl Streep and Christine Baranski, alongside Jeremy Irons, in the original Broadway production of The Real Thing (an-
other Stoppard play), directed by Mike Nichols. Her role in the play Greek, which transferred from Los Angeles to New York, was what prompted The Tonight Show appearance. “Also, I had done so many commercials, so I was well known for that,” she said.
People who work in television commercials are essentially “30-second actors,” she said.
“People talk about what a difficult job it is, to do a 30-second spot in one day, and get it right, and still not be known.”
Despite all her experience, the Superbowl ad came with a few surprises—not least because she didn’t expect much in the beginning.

Bringing health, hope & heart to Hondurans
ByJoanLowery
For twenty years, Dr. Rob Potter and his wife Cindy, have journeyed to Honduras annually to bring medical and educational support to poverty-stricken Hondurans. Each year, Rob, a retired family physician who practiced in Pittsburgh, and Cindy, a physical therapist, take part in a week-long volunteer project which serves nearly 2,000 rural children and adults. Rob is the President of Honduras Hope Mission, a 501-c3 located in Pennsylvania. I spoke with him a few days after they returned from their mission.
J: How was your trip?
R: Absolutely wonderful!
J: What does the Honduras Hope Mission do?
R: Our mission is to break the cycle of poverty in the La Villa de San Francisco central mountainous region of Honduras. We’re doing this by providing medical care, food, water filters and housing as well as educational opportunities for impoverished Hondurans.
J: Tell me more.
R: Thirty-five years ago, a group from a Presbyterian Church in Western New York started The Promise Children Mission in La
Villa de San Francisco. Originally, they worked with an orphanage in town. About twenty years ago they added the medical portion of the mission. That’s when I joined. Through the years many different churches have been involved in the project. Honduras Hope Mission eventually spun off and is now a non-affiliated non-profit.
J: Why Honduras?
R: Honduras is an extremely poor country. It’s estimated that 73% of the population lives in poverty and 53% live in extreme poverty. Our goal is to make a significant difference toward improving Hondurans’ lives. The village we support is in an extremely poor area.
J: How did you get involved?
R: We learned about the project from a medical assistant that worked for me. Cindy and I felt compelled to participate. The rest is history. We believe that working with the Hope Mission gives us much more back than we give. It’s an honor to be part of this work.
J: What is the scope of the program?
R: Year-round we focus on three main areas: Healthcare, food and education. Once a year we travel to
Honduras and work one-on-one to provide customized medical care.
J: Tell me about your recent trip.
R: Nineteen North American volunteers, ranging in age from sixteen to their seventies, flew to Honduras. As always, everyone paid their own way. Once there we teamed up with twenty local Hondurans. It was a great group! Half of us were healthcare professionals and the others helped to administer the program, distribute water filters, medicine and medical devices.
J: Is working in Honduras dangerous?
R: Well, on the U.S. website for Honduras it states, “Consider alternative plans.”
However, we feel safe there; we always stay in a group which includes Hondurans; and we take security measures.
J: What services do you provide during your clinical week?
R: This trip we visited seven clinics. Our healthcare professionals included a dentist, two physician assistants, two physicians, two nurses, a pharmacist and two physical therapists. A retired lawyer was trained to assess which prescription glasses patients need. Villagers
lined up as early as the night before our clinics to make sure they would be seen.
J: That’s amazing. They must have been very happy to see you.
R: Oh yes. They are incredibly grateful. For some it’s their only chance to see a doctor all year. The patients’ issues range from minor problems to major ones such as out of control diabetes or blood pressure. We also refer people for surgery if necessary.

President’s Report ByJe Smith
Dear Neighbors, Thanks to the many residents who attended the annual board meeting in person or by Zoom. At the meeting, the three board members whose term had not expired (Elida Ramberger, Jackie Massari and John Schmidt) welcomed new board member, Suzanne BeDell, as well as returning directors Judy Greene, Hans Hawrysz, Eddie Goldstein and Jeff Smith. The executive officers were appointed with Jeff Smith/President, Judy Greene/ Vice President, Hans Hawrysz/ Treasurer and Elida Ramberger/ Secretary.
The meeting covered too many subjects to recap in this letter, but the three most prominent issues were:
- A discussion of the “working policy” governing data collection, retention and sharing. The new technology in place for security together with the database assimilated by Proptia mandates having a policy governing privacy issues that must be in place. The Board was informed of the “working policy” which will now pass to the Governance Committee for additional consideration (the policy will be available on the resident website) and will be discussed further in the March board meeting prior to being formalized in our rules and regulations.
- A discussion of the “working rules and regulations” relating to security. This is simply a case of conforming our existing security rules and regulations into a structure fully compatible with Proptia and our modern technology. The Governance Committee will give the policy further consideration
(also making the working policy available on the web) prior to further discussion on the matter in the March board meeting.
- The Board discussed the major priorities for the 2025 board year. They include:
- Forming a working committee to explore the feasibility of hiring an on-site property manager. This is necessary because the complexity of running LMA has made the dependence on volunteers unsustainable eventually.
- Continue to invest in “hardening our drainage system” to increase storm resiliency.
- Work to develop and market the comparative advantages of the Landings with a view to support real estate value.
- Find a way to effectively liaison with Sarasota County and FPL given our dependence on both and the fact that both have been unresponsive to our needs.
The North and South Gate replacements are nearing completion as of this writing (February 15). The effort has been time-consuming given the number of contractors involved and difficulty in dealing with the poststorm contracting environment. Thanks to our residents for your patience and thanks to Judy Greene and Louis Goncalves for the many hours you have devoted to finalizing this project.
The North Gate landscape initiative has been completed with excellent results. Thank you, Paul Weiner, LMA Landscape Chair, for
your planning and management of this project.
Our Social Committee continues to come up with new and interesting events with a focus on outreach to the entire community. Included in these events was the annual Dog Parade with more participants than ever (thank you Caroline Friday and your committee) as well as a play and classical concerts with receptions afterwards.
Committee Chair Jackie Massari credits her enthusiastic committee for the variety and quality of the events.
Finally, thank you to Suzanne BeDell, Doug Booth and committee members for the completion of “drainage basin project”. More than 1,500 native species were planted with help contributed by more than twenty community volunteers. Please stop by the nature trail to see the “micro forest” in its initial stages.
Thank you to all our volunteers who contribute to making The Landings the best we can be.

Let’s get together
SubmittedbyJackieMassari,LMASocialChair
A new initiative is underway to bring families in The Landings together and strengthen community connections. To support this effort, a Facebook page, Families of The Landings-Sarasota, has been created. Parents and families are encouraged to join the page, share ideas, and stay informed about upcoming events. The page can be accessed through The Landings of Sarasota website under the Social Committee section.
The goal is to expand opportunities for children and parents to engage with one another.
While popular events like the Summer Kids Pool Party and the Halloween adventure remain annual highlights, the Social Committee hopes to introduce new activities.
As the first step in this initiative, families are invited to a Landings-wide picnic on April 4.
For more information, contact Jessica Albert at 410-353-7370 or Kelly Baldwin at 828-202-3652.
Put on your brightest Caribbean attire and head to the LRC pool for the party of the season. From 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, March 7, the poolside will transform into a tropical celebration with live rock ‘n’ roll by Lisa and the All-Terrain Band.
Non-alcoholic beverages will be provided, along with boxed meals featuring sandwiches, cookies, and potato salad. Guests can choose from turkey, ham, or veggie when signing up. Tickets are $25.
This event sells out quickly—if your plans change, please notify organizers so someone on the waiting list can attend. Don’t miss out on the fun! See you there!

LRC President’s Report ByNeilGoldman
I would like to introduce myself as the new President of the Landings Racquet Club. My wife Sharon and I bought a portside villa in 2004. With a two-car garage and one level of living space we figured this type of unit would be easier to sell if we did not like The Landings. Well, 21 years later, we are still here, and we love it.
Over the years I have been very involved in volunteering in The Landings. Six years on the LMA Board, long-time and current President of the Portside Villas, a member of the Tennis Committee and the Security
Committee, a director on the LRC Board, and the current President of the LRC.
As a relatively long time Landings resident, I have come to realize the importance of the Racquet Club not only to the living style of our members, but also as a key component to keeping ALL of our property values at a higher level. In the past several years, we have added many activities and events for members to enjoy, and we want to continue to make the club a vibrant, vital centerpiece of activities for its members and guests.
Manager’s Report ByKevinLechlitner
The 2025 LRC Board of Directors are as follows: Neil Goldman, President, Paige Packman, Vice President, Roger Blanken, Treasurer, Agnes Schipper, Secretary, George Ulrich, Richard Stern and Linda Long. The monthly LRC Board meetings are on the third Monday of the month in the Lakeside Clubhouse at 2 p.m. I will always send a reminder via email prior to the meeting for any members that would like to attend. If you aren’t receiving emails from the Club and would like to be added to my database, please call me in the Pro Shop or email me at LRCTennis@hotmail.com .
Thank you to Nelson & Dawn Smith for working the Pancake Breakfast on January 29. They are true professionals at making pancakes as they have done it here for many years. Members enjoyed plain, blueberry and banana pancakes served up with
a smile from Nelson and Dawn. Be sure to mark your calendars for the next pancake breakfast on March 26 from 9– 11 a.m.
I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce two new employees at the Club. Many of you have already met Katy Browning in the Pro Shop office. She filled the vacancy left by Gary Bowen’s retirement. Currently she is scheduled all day on Sundays and from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays. The other new addition to the LRC staff is Luis Martinez who is handling the court maintenance shift on the weekends. His predecessor, Leosvany moved on to a full-time job working as an electrician. Please take a moment to introduce yourself and welcome them to the LRC family the next time you see either of them at the Club.

News From the Court
ByAdrian“Mo”Moghina
This is one of my favorite times of the year, with spectacular weather and two of the world’s best professional tennis tournaments on the schedule.
Both tournaments take place in the U.S. and feature men’s and women’s events throughout most of March. The BNP Paribas Open runs from March 5-16 in Indian Wells, California, followed by the Miami Open at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens from March 1930. I personally enjoy attending the Miami Open for a few days to watch my favorite players train and focus on their fitness.
The Tennis Channel will broadcast both events, and I highly recommend tuning in to watch, listen, and learn.
This month, instead of a social round robin and pro exhibition, we will host our first-ever Calcutta tournament on March 29-30. A Calcutta tournament is a competitive auction where participants bid on teams or players, creating a prize pool awarded to the winners.
For those interested in participating, more details will be available at the pro shop.
See you on the courts!
My goal, and the Club’s challenge, is to build upon last year’s successful replacing, updating, or adding to the amenities the club already has, and be able to do so while keeping dues at a manageable level. Let’s face it, as a club that is 40 years old, we have challenges with aging infrastructure and equipment, and there is also new technology we would like to incorporate. These improvements do not come cheaply.
Looking ahead, the Board is contemplating various projects, including a major project in 2025 to
last few weeks. If you aren’t already using the App, I would strongly encourage you to join in. It is a free App that is available for both Apple and Android users. Just search the App Store for “Landings Racquet Club” and look for the eagle icon. Step-by-step instructions are available in the Pro Shop. It is important to get everyone up and running with the App. Some of the benefits are you can see your court reservations and who you are playing with, view your monthly statements, and sign up for tennis
retile and resurface the entire pool area.
This project will include new tiles, new pavers, and eventually new furniture.
The pool has not been resurfaced since it was installed in 1984, and experts say a pool should be resurfaced every 10-15 years in Florida. Clearly our pool has lasted well past its projected life.
The timing of this project is yet to be determined, but the hope is for it to be done this summer after our main season has wound down.
As a heads up, the Club will be sending out a survey in early March asking you for some information
clinics. Soon, you will even be able to make tennis court reservations through the App. A key function that is available now is the ability to pay your statement balance. This will reduce the time and energy the staff spends manually processing your payments by check or cash and it reduces the potential for fraud. For more information, please see the article in this edition of the Eagle by Paige Packman. If you have any questions, feel free to speak with Kevin or Olivia in the Pro Shop.
and asking your opinions on what is working well at the Club and what needs to improve. Please fill out the survey as your answers and opinions can influence which projects the club will undertake in the future.
Finally, if you are not getting club emails from Kevin, and wish to do so, please give Kevin or Olivia your email address so you can receive Kevin’s weekly emails that will inform you of the many activities and events that are coming up at the club.

Looking for a good casual fish house in Sarasota, we discovered Fresh Catch Fish Market & Grill, tucked away in a strip mall on 41. What a wonderful find. There were four of us for dinner, and we made a reservation-thankfully so, as by 6 PM on a weekday, all the dining tables were full. This place is clearly popular, and for good reason. Here are three highlights:
1. Fresh, Well-Seasoned Fish
I ordered the grilled grouper sandwich on a brioche bun, and it was delicious; perfectly cooked, properly seasoned, and a generous portion. For my side, I had coleslaw, which was fresh and light, not overpowered by too much mayonnaise.
2. Relaxed, Comfortable Atmosphere
The restaurant has a casual coastal vibe. It's a neighborhood spot that feels welcoming and unpretentious, perfect for hanging out over a good meal and a cold beer. Wear your shorts and flip-flops if you want. They have outdoor patio seating, too.
3. Attentive, Efficient Service
Our server was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, explaining the menu without being pushy. Everyone in our group got exactly what they wanted, and all the dishes were served just as ordered.
In addition to my grouper sandwich, two of us had the red snapper plate, and the other had mahi-mahi plate. Everyone raved about their meals.
If you're looking for fresh fish in a casual setting, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed. Salute!
Day
If you’ve ever wondered about Sarasota’s growing number of roundabouts and their accompanying sculptures, you’re not alone. When they first appeared, many—including myself—were skeptical. Would they cause more traffic confusion and congestion?
Today, Sarasota has 13 roundabouts, with more in the works. But did you know that traffic circles in the city date back to the late 19th century?
In 1887, John Hamilton Gillespie placed a public trough at Five Points, then Sarasota’s busiest intersection. Decades before the city’s first automobile arrived, horse-drawn buggies easily maneuvered around the structure. Further west on Main Street at Palm Avenue, another roundabout featured a bird statue before being replaced by a traffic sign directing vehicles to “Turn To Right.”
Visionary developer John Ringling also embraced traffic circles. His 1925 sales brochure for Ringling Isles introduced Harding Place, now known as St. Armands Circle.
them on foot. By day or night, carefully placed lighting transforms these works into captivating displays, seamlessly integrating art with Sarasota’s evolving landscape.
So the next time you find yourself circling a Sarasota roundabout, embrace the journey—you’re experiencing history, safety, and public art all in one spin!

While he famously sold $1 million in property the day it opened, the real estate crash of 1926 slowed traffic until post-World War II growth revived the area.

The “Art in the Roundabouts” program enhances Sarasota’s arts legacy while improving driver awareness. Sculptures in key locations serve as visual cues, blending safety with public art.

Fifty Landings residents participated in a CPR/ AED training course led by firefighter Dan Hedgman and sponsored by LMA. The session, organized by Pat Sweet, an LMA resident and retired nurse, provided essential life-saving skills.
One participant praised the two-hour training, saying, “Dan was thorough and kept us all engaged, taking notes and practicing hands-on chest compressions with ‘Resusci Andy,’ a lifelike training manikin.”
Dan also covered how to recognize heart attack symptoms, including:
- Pain in the chest, belly, arms, neck, or jaw
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea or vomiting
- Cold sweats
- Lightheadedness
Important Tip: If a heart attack is suspected, call 911 immediately and administer one adult aspirin (or four baby aspirins)—unless the individual has a blood disorder or history of stroke.
Keeping aspirin in your glove compartment is a smart precaution.
Attendees overwhelmingly praised the training, and association presidents have expressed strong support for offering it again. LMA is considering purchasing an additional AED to supplement the existing one located outside the Racquet Club gym. The device includes clear, step-by-step instructions for use in emergencies.
Stay tuned for future training opportunities!

Once again, new Landings owners who have bought homes/condo in The Landings during the past year were warmly welcomed into the community on the evening of February 22. This annual tradition is a cherished event that brings together fresh faces and long-time residents, fostering a sense of unity and belonging. The LMA Welcome Committee, comprised of Jane Donovan, Renata Hackman, Allison Small, Pat Sweet, Roseanne Clark, and Jackie Massari culminated a year’s worth of work in organizing this event.
Throughout the year, the Welcome Committee has contacted each new homeowner, greeting them and delivering a Welcome Packet filled
with coupons collected from local vendors and restaurants, information re local cultural and arts events, details about happenings and facilities in The Landings, and bits and pieces of useful information.
Our youngest attendee this year was a 10-month-old and are oldest was…? There were members from The Landings Management Association and Landings Racquet Club Boards, and Association Presidents in attendance. There were volunteers providing information about the upcoming Dog Parade, Nature Day and the Families of The Landings picnic event mingling among the guests to give the “scoop” on these events and much more.

The Landings cheered for the Eagles
Was it because favorite son and resident, Ralph Ricapito once coached the Eagles or was it fatigue over watching the Chiefs beat up every rival?
Whatever the reason, the 70 or so residents who gathered to watch Superbowl LIX at the LRC last month resoundingly rooted for the Eagles. And the Philadelphia team rose to the occasion, defeating Kansas City 40-22.
The yearly BYOB party, organized by Gayle and Philippe Maraval for the LRC is gaining in popularity for its friendly rivalry and delicious spread. Attendance more than doubled this year.

The Landings community continues to actively enjoy the neighborhood library, located in the Poolside Room and open to all LRC members. The collection features a mix of fiction and nonfiction, with a focus on new releases and popular titles available on the library cart. Paperbacks can be found down the side hallway, and games and puzzles are stored in the cupboards to the right of the entrance.
Library volunteers Mona Poyta, Jay Eisner, and Stacy Hodgins help keep the space organized.
A few reminders to ensure the library remains a great resource for
everyone:
- Consider donating recent releases after you’ve finished reading them by placing them on the lower shelf.
- Return borrowed books to the lower shelf as well.
- For large donations, please contact a library volunteer rather than dropping off boxes of books. Due to limited space, older book donations are best directed to Goodwill or other local charities.
Thank you for helping keep the Landings Library a well-stocked and welcoming space for all members!
Do you have a special pet?
The Eagle will be highlighting the variety of Pets in The Landings in our April issue.
Please submit a photo of your
special pet by March 12 to nfpconsultingresources@gmail.com .

Trill Seekers Quartet Delights Crowd at Musical Cocktails Event
SubmittedbyJackieMassari,LMASocialChair
The Trill Seekers flute quartet delivered a captivating performance at the Musical Cocktails event on Jan. 25, earning an enthusiastic standing ovation from a full-house audience. The hour-long concert was a delightful showcase of musical harmony and talent.
Led by Landings resident Karen Ciccone, who played the piccolo, C flute, and alto flute, the quartet
also featured Ginny Katz (piccolo, C flute, bass flute), Suzanne Wieland (C flute, alto flute), and Chris Simms (piccolo, C flute). The variety of flutes on display added to the evening’s charm, impressing attendees with the richness of their sound.
Ciccone has been instrumental in helping the LMA Social Committee connect with talented musicians from the greater
Sarasota area, bringing highquality performances to Landings residents. This concert series, a new initiative for LMA, has been met with overwhelming appreciation.
With such a positive reception, many are hopeful the Trill Seekers will return for another performance next season.

Contrary to what many have been lead to believe, goldfish are one of the worst fish you can put in a small tank or, even worse, a bowl. Goldfish get huge and produce way more waste than almost any other kind of similarly sized fish! However, for those with large tanks or, better yet, a pond, goldfish might just be the perfect wet pet! Goldfish come in many varieties! Orandas, Ryukins, Ranchus, etc. are perfect for those with tanks 75 gallons and above, while larger varieties, like comets or koi, are great for outdoor or indoor ponds! Goldfish are cool water fish, so no heater is necessary, and they are actually personable as well! They will often learn to recognize their owners and routines very quickly. So much for that "two second memory" myth! Goldfish tend to be very friendly with appropriate tankmates and pondmates, but will often eat many kinds of plants, so one must be careful when deciding what kinds of plants to include in their habitats.
Typical appearance and behavior
• Goldfish come in all sorts of di erent shapes and colors! Orange, yellow, white, black, and red are the most common colors.
• Koi are goldfish too! Koi tend to get even larger than most other varieties and can be easily identified by the "whiskers" present on each side of their mouths. Goldfish live for a long time! An average pond comet goldfish can live 20-40 years, but the longest living koi on record lived for a total of 226 years!
• We have plenty of goldfish here at Seascape! Come down and enjoy 25%
and 10% o all koi!

There was very little activity to report for the month of January. What activity occurred, revolved around lost dogs and downed tree branches.
However, there was one serious incident. On the evening of January 31, a black pickup truck removed barriers from the
North Gate and entered The Landings. A short time later the truck exited the Main Gate. The incident was captured on video and the license plate by the LPR. Police were called to the scene but because there were no reports of damage or theft, they did not think it necessary to pursue the case any further.
Registration opens the week of Feb. 24 at the front desk, with a goal of at least 32 players. Signups are on an individual basis, and an information sheet will be available at the desk. For questions, contact tournament director George Ulrich at ueguyk25@aol.com.
Both playing and non-playing members are encouraged to attend Friday’s draw party to enhance the event’s excitement. Greater participation will add to the fun and energy of this unique tournament experience.
To that end, we have created a Facebook page called Families of The Landings – Sarasota. We encourage parents and families in The Landings to join this page and tell us your ideas. You can access this on the Landings of Sarasota webpage under Social Committee. Please reach out to Jessica Albert at 410-353 -7370 or Kelly Baldwin at 828-202-3652 with your suggestions.
Landings Wildlife Neighbors
ByKathyLeidel
Across my small deck, I have seen many wonderful creatures over the years including this priceless duck family. Additionally, I have seen raccoons, wonderful squirrels, and harmless snakes basking in the sun. I thought this footprint chart would be of interest to all as many wildlife friends live among us.
A reception for all will follow. Open to all Landings residents. There will be lots of new music this year. The Landoliers are currently led by Ron and Debbie Fellman who would love to have you join them.

Violinist Margot Zarzyck, a member of the Sarasota Orchestra and an active soloist and chamber musician, joined pianist Michal Drewnowski, a faculty member at the Chicago College of Performing Arts, for a special Valentine’s Weekend performance on Feb. 15.
Thanks to Landings resident Kat Gallison, the LMA Social Committee was able to arrange the unexpected addition to the Musical Cocktails series. Performing for a full house, Zarzyck and Drewnowski curated a program celebrating the romance of the holiday, featuring works by Vivaldi, Chopin, Beethoven, Kreisler, and more.
Both musicians, originally from Poland, share a deep appreciation for their homeland’s composers as well as a broad range of classical repertoire. Their concert took the audience on a musical journey, from the refined elegance of the Baroque period to the passion of the tango.
The evening concluded with food and drinks provided by LMA, offering attendees the opportunity to mingle and reflect on an enchanting night of music.

Sing-Along with Tommy Hits the Right Note

Racquet Club members are still raving about last month’s “Sing-Along with Tommy” event at the LRC. Thanks to Ron Fellman, who curated a lively and diverse playlist, pianist Tommy Orr led an unforgettable evening of music. Lyrics were displayed on a giant screen, making it easy for everyone to join in.
A half-dozen microphones were available for those ready to belt out their favorites. One at-
SATURDAY & SUNDAY, 10AM-3PM
tendee even called it “the classiest Happy Hour ever,” whispering the praise to event coordinator
Connie Stephens. This free event was a resounding success and is expected to
return next year by popular demand.
J: If they are so poor, how can they afford surgery?
R: They don’t have to pay for surgery. We provide bus ride fares to get to the nearest hospital which is 90 minutes away. Believe it or not, patients, for example, don’t have to pay for hip surgery but they do have to pay for the actual parts needed. We pay for those parts.
J: Over the years have you seen improvements in healthcare?
R: Yes, on many levels. For example, our dentists have helped to improve dental hygiene. There is much less need for them to pull teeth now than in the past.
Providing toothbrushes to the whole community has helped a lot with prevention.
Our distribution of eyeglasses has helped tremendously. The medicines we provide year-round keep people alive. Donated canes have kept people mobile.
We’ve seen lots of improvements!
J: What happens after your week in Honduras?
R: Two Hondurans work for us year-round. They keep things going. Elias, one of our former students, who was our interpreter when he was a teenager, has become a physician. We pay him to visit the community on a regular basis bi-monthly.
J: Your program is also involved in educating children and women.
R: Yes. We built a school called The Hope Center which offers after-school and Saturday programs for the children. They come to us from first grade through high school for English, computer and music lessons.
J: What are you doing to educate the women?
R: From a health perspective we learned that the number one factor influencing the health of any community anywhere in the world is the educational level of women in that community. Women make the health care decisions, so our program focuses on providing health education for them.
Additionally, since most families are run by
single mothers, we help them become more economically self-sufficient by teaching skills such as knitting, weaving, sewing and hair dressing.
J: How is your program funded?
R: Through donations. If anyone wants to sponsor a child or family, they can help feed them for $30 per month. Donations also buy the children’s shoes and uniforms which are required to attend school. We also seek donations of prescription glasses and readers, as many of our patients cannot afford to buy them. Their improved vision transforms their lives. Each fall we hold a golf fund raiser near Pittsburgh. Our total overall budget is $100,000 per year.
J: It’s amazing that you can achieve so much for only $100,000 a year!
R: Yes, it is. Buying medicines in Honduras costs far less than what we would have to pay for them in the U.S.
J: How has this project impacted your life?
R: It’s been a transformative experience. It’s made me realize how blessed we Americans are and how most of the world suffers from poverty and health-related problems that need addressing. It motivates me to help make our Honduran neighbors’ lives better.
J: Tell me about your part-time life in Sarasota.
R: We discovered Sarasota when I was a team doctor for the Pittsburgh Pirates. We bought a coach house in The Landings ten years ago. Cindy is still working but we look forward to spending more time in Sarasota in the future. We love The Landings!
J: If people want to contribute to the Hope Mission, how can they do that?
R: They can donate through our website: hondurashopemission.org. If anyone is interested in joining us on next year’s mission, please contact me at: hugojr421@yahoo.com.
J: Rob, thanks so much for all that you are doing. Your work is incredibly important, heartfelt and inspiring. Robcheckingon15yearoldboywhohadopenheartsurgerywhenhewas7.
MaryDenhamStorycontinuedfromfrontpage.
“I got a call from my agent that they had a Zoom audition the next day at 12:30,” she remembered. “I said, ‘Oh, I have a Pilates class.’” They rescheduled for later in the afternoon.
The script was about a man named “David” being told by his parents that he had a twin brother. In the audition, Denham was told, “You look a bit young.” She was auditioning for the mother, and “David,” it turned out, was David Beckham.
She waited more than a week to learn if she’d been booked. When the call finally came, late at night, she misread the caller ID and let it go to voicemail. The next morning, her husband was the one to check the message. “He brought up tea and said to me, ‘Good morning, Mrs. Beckham.’” She was to fly to L.A. that day.
More surprises were to come. “It was an enormous shoot,” Denham said. “They took over two or three streets in L.A. The catering service was enormous!”
While she thought she’d met the director in the audition, she’d only dealt with assistants.
The actual director was Ben Affleck. And the person playing David Beckham’s secret twin?
Matt Damon.
Even after her decades of consistent work, Denham sees a potential boost in the exposure she got from the commercial. “For me at this stage, I’m hoping casting directors I’ve worked with in the past—if they’re still in the business—will see that and are maybe going to say, ‘Oh, Mary! We should use Mary,’” she said. Looking back, Denham acknowledges the good breaks she’s had throughout her career. “I had the look that they wanted,” she said. “I was very lucky. I had that California look when I started—very long, straight blond hair. Gradually [casting directors] wanted to go to more of a character-type person. Which means as you get older you still get cast, as maybe the teenager’s mother or grandmother. I haven’t played any grandmothers yet, but maybe that’s coming.”
Still, she hates the emphasis placed on age, especially for women in the business. “You open up People and it will say right at the start, ‘Helen Mirren, 79.’ Bugger it!” she said. “And honestly, when I got this commercial, I thought, ‘Move over, Helen Mirren.’”
