October 17, 2013
I was listening to Audrey Assad's latest album recently when I heard the words that sparked a hunt in my heart:
"And the foxes in the vineyard will not steal my joy."
While Audrey is one of the most profound lyricists of our generation, I was haunted by that line, the way that poetry of the Old Testament hangs in the air and I am often left in awe of its beauty. I knew that this line had to be Scripture.
I opened up my Bible and sure enough, there are a number of times that our furry little foes pop up in the entire breadth of the canon. Most of them are in the Old Testament, which is where Audrey's reference comes from. It's in Song of Solomon, where the writer admonishes, "Catch the little foxes that spoil the vineyards" (2:15).
Catching foxes is a curious turn of phrase. And one that resonates with me because I work in Hamilton, Massachusetts, just a few miles from campus at a historic Hunt Club. Now, being from California, where being a fox might even be a good thing, the New England culture has been mostly new for me. I've never seen a lacrosse game, I've never known anyone on a rowing team. And until I started working at the Club, I'd never seen polo played before unless it involved Marco in the swimming pool.
The logo at the Club is a simple, yet profound one. It's the image of a fox with a horn above it. It's on the Club flag that flies over the clubhouse and on the divot repair tools on the golf course, and it's embroidered on every staff shirt just above the heart. Because of how long I've worked at the club and because we get new shirts every year, I've got more shirts and jackets and hats and even belts with that logo than most people I know.
We wear the logo of the huntsman. This history dates back to the late 1800s when fox hunting was all the rage, and while we do not actually hunt foxes today (but rather the more humane fox scent), it is a tradition. I walk up the hill to work in the little golf shop at the Club as up to a dozen gigantic horses and nearly 40 hunting hounds weave along the bridle paths.
In an effort to understand Audrey and to get a better feel for the historical sport, I did a little research into the origins of fox hunting. Originally, it was a form of pest-control. Foxes have been known in literature and society for hundreds of years as sneaky, thieving creatures. Because they used to come to farms and kill chickens or steal food, farmers started to hunt them. Now, years later, we still honor the tradition of the hunt.
Gordon-Conwell is situated on a hill that was once owned by a member of the Club and is a part of the historic route that the hunters used to take. Every year, they take a ride with the hounds through our Hamilton campus. Children who live here come to see them go by as the riders wave. As they passed through this year, I couldn't help but take notice of the incredible spiritual implications.
Foxes come to thieve and destroy. Jesus called Herod a fox, knowing that he was deceptive. And in Song of Solomon, chasing away the foxes was an active form of defending the vineyard. How fitting it is that our campus, where we defend the faith and fight against heresy and deception, is on the grounds of the historic hunt. How interesting it is that nearly every day, I put on the logo of the huntsman over my heart.
As we go about our studies, we not only increase in knowledge of the truth, but we are given the task of seeking out and chasing away the foxes—those things that get a foothold and ruin our lives, our marriages, our friendships, our trust in God. We are not simply students. We are the huntsman, still defending ourselves and chasing away foxes on this traditional plot of hunting ground.
For they will not steal our joy.

Making entrepreneurship work
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Minnesota Public Radio has embarked on a project called Ground Level, a series examining entrepreneurship in Minnesota. In a recent installment, they talked with Dr. Mark Spriggs, chair of the Opus College of Business' Entrepreneurship Department, and Lois Josefson, executive director of TiE Minnesota, about the nuts and bolts of starting a business.
Spriggs also features prominently in a related story about business incubators, noting that communities frequently choose that approach because "as you look at what the economic development strategies are, there aren't very many."

In May 2010 US army analyst Private Manning was arrested in Iraq on suspicion of having passed state secrets to the online publisher WikiLeaks. Manning was accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of diplomatic and military documents.
Shortly thereafter a small group of journalists made their way through Central Asia interviewing editors. Their real goal: to find local media outlets to publish the secret US diplomatic cables.

(RNN) - Tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes are devastating natural disasters that could affect anyone.
According to Insurance Center Associates, these natural disasters are becoming more frequent and more costly.
Prior to 1987, the U.S. never experienced a natural disaster with insured losses greater than $1 billion. Since that time, there have been eight.
A new report from Kiplinger reveals the 10 states most at risk of a natural disaster. The rankings are based on estimates of each state's insured property losses across the past decade.
Kiplinger provides financial services and publishes magazines and newsletters. The group named Louisiana as the No. 1 state for natural disasters.
SLIDESHOW: 10 states most likely to suffer from natural disasters
Experts say climate changes and global warming are to blame for the extreme weather that has pummeled the U.S. in 2011.
"Any single weather event is driven by a number of factors, from local conditions to global climate patterns and trends. Climate change is one of these. It is very likely that large-scale changes in climate, such as increased moisture in the atmosphere and warming temperatures, have influenced, and will continue to influence, many different types of extreme events, such as heavy rainfall, flooding, heat waves and droughts," Thomas Karl, director of the National Climatic Data Center said.
According to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, in the first six months of 2011 the U.S. experienced record-breaking floods and snowstorms, prolonged drought, and massive wildfires.
"The extreme weather that the U.S. has experienced in 2011 should cause all Americans, and especially our elected leaders, to think long and hard about the risks posed by climate change, and about what we can do to minimize those risks," Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change said in a press release. "We need to move past asking whether extreme weather is caused by climate change and start figuring out how to protect ourselves in a future when these events become both more severe and more common."
Every region of the U.S. is vulnerable to at least one type of natural disaster. While some disasters can be predicted, most come with little warning, and are often linked to other events.
Severe winter storms seem to be what wreaks the most havoc on the states within this region. Heavy snow falls can bring standstills, and the subsequent melting can cause major flooding.
Hurricane season begins June 1 and ends Nov. 30. Throughout the season, powerful and potent tropical storms form. The precipitation, flooding, and strong winds from the storm systems can devastate dozens of communities at a time.
This region is known to see the greatest amount of tornadoes. Tornadic systems often carry with them a water, wind and fire damage throughout the areas they affect.
Earthquakes and wildfires are the two most common disasters in this region. Wildfires can destroy thousands to hundreds of thousands of acres at a time, and take days or weeks to contain.
Santa Ana winds, are infamous for fanning wildfires.
Natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes, can strike at anytime or any place without warning. They can destroy homes and businesses and even take lives. But the key to any sort of natural disaster is being prepared.
You should develop a family disaster plan, gather emergency supplies and seek out the safest shelter for different weather circumstances.

I've been sleepy since I was 16 years old. The first doctor I saw, during cross country season my Junior Year of High School, dismissed my complaints.

"We looked at the ethics very carefully" and felt them to be sound, and visited the project in India, said Trimble of the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Sandra Swain, a cancer specialist at Medstar Washington Hospital Center, also defended the research. She is president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the research results were presented at that group's meeting in Chicago on Sunday.

"There really was no wrongdoing there," she said. "They have no screening anyway," so there is no standard of care now.
Officials in India already are making plans to expand the vinegar testing to a wider population.
Many poor countries can't afford mammograms for breast cancer screening either. The India study also has been testing breast exams by health workers as an alternative. Preliminary results suggest breast cancers are being found at an earlier stage, but it's too soon to know if that will save lives because not enough women have died yet to compare the groups, said Trimble of the National Cancer Institute.
More progress against cervical cancer may come from last month's announcement that two companies will drastically lower prices on HPV vaccines for poor countries. Pilot projects will begin in Asia and Africa; the campaign aims to vaccinate more than 30 million girls in more than 40 countries by 2020.
Associated Press Chief Medical Writer Marilynn Marchione reported from Chicago.

A Facebook selloff in 3 months?
Billions of dollars worth of additional shares could start hitting the market in just 90 days -- which could send the price down.
Typically, insiders and major holders in a company that has just gone public have to wait 180 days to sell their shares.
But in an atypical move, Facebook tweaked the so-called lock-up period to allow for a large amount of additional shares to be sold just three months from now.
"Facebook has an unusually short lock-up period with the free float now expected to increase by 55% after just 91 days (which equates to about $10 billion worth of stock)," cautioned Rich Greenfield, an analyst with BTIG, in a note to clients Thursday.
To boot, even more shares can be unlocked 151 days from now, according to the amended Facebook filing from Wednesday. This frees up enough stock so that the float --or number of shares openly traded -- will more than double "before the traditional 180 lock-up period expires," said Greenfield.
Lock-up periods are put in place so a single holder can't cash in all their stock right away, sending volatility soaring and the shares of a new listing downward.
When lock-up periods do end, the increased supply of shares hitting the market typically weighs on the stock. For Facebook, this difficult time will come earlier and with double the supply of the initial offering.
"This sounds to me like the Facebook investors are scrambling over each other, yelling, 'get me out!' said Enis Taner, global macro editor at RiskReversal.com. "Meanwhile, the Muppets buy."
However, this potentially weak period for the stock could be a buying opportunity, some investors said.
"The way to play Facebook, I think, is to look at LinkedIn (LNKD)," said Josh Brown, author of The Reformed Broker blog and a financial advisor at Fusion Analytics. "It will have a big opening week, then you'll have plenty of time to add on during the lockup, then it will hit new all-time highs again."
Shares of the employment social network traded to a new high a couple months after its May 19 IPO last year, but the stock tanked before and immediately after its lock-up period expired 180 days later . LinkedIn hit an all -time low of $59 10 days after that lock-up expiration before rallying back to above $108 this week.
But that was a traditional calendar for a new stock. Facebook is testing uncharted waters with this shorter lock-up and larger share offering.
"They've had some infighting over people wanting to sell so its sounds like they moved up the lock up so those people could get out," speculated Stephen Weiss of Short Hills Capital.
Facebook may also be increasing the number of shares out there faster so that the stock can go into major indices -- and the exchange-traded funds that track them -- earlier than usual, traders said.
The Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) could add Facebook sooner if more shares are available for trading. The buying by index managers could help offset the monster selling by insiders.

Free Fizz: France's Fancy Water Fountain
A new drinking fountain premiered in Paris last week, but it's no small town bubbler; this one flows with sparkling water. Italy already has a number of fizzy fountains — will the U.S. be next?
Publicly-owned French water company Eau de Paris installed the fountain in an effort to reduce plastic bottle waste. France has one of the highest bottled water consumption rates in the world, at about 40 gallons of bottled water per person, per year. The company chills ordinary tap water and injects it with carbon dioxide for the new fountain, dubbed La Petillante.
The concept has already taken off in Italy where 215 of the fountains are in place across the country. Although I wouldn't hold my breath for one of these to debut in the U.S., it's a good reminder that sparkling water doesn't just come from the supermarket; it can be made at home with now widely-available soda machines.
Do you have a carbonated water habit and have you tried making it at home?

This looks like a scheme to game the European Union Emissions Trading scheme. Take byproduct CO2 and pour it down the population. When it comes back out, you tax the burps. Only the French would think of this. Sheer genius!
I love my Soda Stream for fizzy water. We go through bottles of fizzy tap water every day....
I was in Paris 2 weeks ago. Was quite happy to see the municipal water campaign and lack of scorn when requesting tap water in restaurants.
I love sparking mineral water, but I can't abide the packaging and fuel/transportation waste. I kicked my Gerolsteiner habit by promising myself an old fashioned glass & mesh syphon. I have it but don't use it very often; it requires advanced planning and a lot of patience to fill (it has a really small opening).
At home we have a CO2 tank which we use to carbonate at least a liter of water daily. Much cheaper and more environmentally friendly than buying carbonated water, and lasts a lot longer without refills than the Soda Club and equivalent machines. You do need somewhere to stash the unattractive tank though.
Cool idea - that'd be an interesting thing to try in an office complex instead of doing water coolers or vending machines.
My favorite sparkling water use, though, was at my daughter's baptism - the water at the church was really sulphuric and the pastor didn't want my daughter to stink like a rotten egg, so Natalie was baptised with Poland Spring lemon sparkling water instead.
lol, im gunna go check this out tomorrow!

In Decembers past, a New Year's resolution to travel more stood in conflict with a resolution to save more money. This month, consumers can resolve to do both at once -- before the new year even begins.
This year, drop-offs in regional tourism along with the usual year-end push by the travel industry to meet its financial goals are yielding more last-minute deals on trips to popular destinations for New Year's Eve.
6 ways to avoid becoming the stereotypical starving student.
This post comes from Linsey Knerl at partner blog Wise Bread.
Back in 1996, I was a partial-scholarship private-college student with the "gold" meal plan. Despite having access to food almost anytime I wanted, I often went hungry. Why? I was a horrible planner, a bit bad with my time, and I really had no knowledge of food savings strategies.
Here are six things I finally learned about how to get more from your very limited college food budget.
British think tank calculates relative worth of six professions.
A British study has now confirmed what many of us have long suspected: Hospital janitors are worth more to society than bankers.
Perhaps the janitors should get the bonuses. The study, "A Bit Rich: Calculating the Real Value to Society of Different Professionals," wasn't directly tied to the huge bankers' bonuses that have raised ire in the U.K. (and the U.S., for that matter) or the 50% tax Britain has slapped on those bonuses. (A "whack the banker" game is all the rage in Britain these days, according to the BBC.)
Would a proposed federal program prompt you to weatherize your house?
Regular readers here know that budgets are sexy. Now insulation is, too -- according to the president.
President Obama held a roundtable at a Home Depot to push "cash for caulkers," then addressed a larger crowd at the store that included Home Depot CEO Frank Blake, union members and other folks. According to The Los Angeles Times, he said:
We were at the roundtable and somebody said, "Insulation's not sexy." I disagree. Here's what's sexy about it: saving money.
That is sexy, and so is the thought of being toasty warm when it's beyond frigid outside -- without a budget-busting power bill. (The high here is supposed to be 15 degrees today -- a vast improvement over the previous 24 hours.) Congress would have to approve the cash for caulkers program, officially called Home Star, but here's how it might work.

Village Voice Pimps
Village Voice Pimps
Overview Page on the Profiteers
Backpage.com is a classified advertising website owned by Village Voice Media Holdings, LLC, which once owned 13 alternative weeklies around the country including the Village Voice in New York from which it derives its name. For years each of these Village Voice Media alternative weeklies had an online site which was a portal to the ads on Backpage.com which covers 500 cities in the U.S. and several other countries. In late 2012, the Village Voice Media owners sold the "Village Voice" papers. This left the online classifieds site Backpage in control of shareholders Mike Lacey and Jim Larkin.
Aside from containing ads for cars, jobs and all sorts of consumer goods, the problem with Backpage.com is their "adult" ads section is a haven for sex-trafficking. In fact, 80 percent of all online sex-trafficking is done through Backpage.com.
On the site are placed prostitution ads under the guise of "escorts" or "body rubs" and other code words. To anyone reading the ads, it is perfectly clear that what they are selling is sex. If that weren't bad enough, Backpage.com has made it easy for pimps to place ads for underage girls who have been forced into sex-slavery through intimidation and threats of violence.
You may wonder why an American media company would be involved in allowing ads which are in fact selling human beings for sex. The answer is simple. Village Voice Media, its owners and employees are profiting from sex-trafficking to the tune of an estimated $31 million a year from allowing prostitution ads on their website.
Their hunger for profit at the expense of human suffering and degradation is such they the owners and Executives at Village Voice Media have refused to be decent corporate citizens in spite of the vast array of groups, agencies and individuals who have asked them to stop providing a platform for sex-trafficking.
They have done this in the face of a massive outpouring of public censure. For example:
The National Association of Attorneys General sent a letter in August 2011 to Backpage.com citing concern about human traffickers use of Backpage. The response was inadquate, prompting all US state Attorneys General to sign onto the letter.
The Washington state Governor signed a bill insisting sex ad sellers check ID Proof of a good-faith attempt to verify the age of the advertised person is considered a defense under the law. Village Voice Media has threatened to go to court over this law, rather than institute these ID checks, which might cut into their sex-trade profits.
Religious groups and others fear ads may facilitate child sex trafficking, but Village Voice papers have run articles saying the concerns are overstated. This prompted Groundwell, a social action group sponsored by the Auburn Theological Seminary, to initiate a petition on Change.org asking Village Voice Media to remove its adult ads section which was facitilating child sex-trafficking. Village Voice refused. The petition has garnered over 250,000 signatures at the date of this writing.
A group of United States Senators has written to Village Voice advertisers asking them to refuse to place ads with Village Voice Media publications to pressure them to stop allowing prostitution ads which enable sex-trafficking throgh their site.
Mayors from across the country have similarly written to the owners of VIlalge Voice Media asking them to require age verification in order to place ads on their adult section.
Thus far Village Voice Media has refused to do anything that they perceive would cut into the profits these prostitution ads are bringing in.
There is no reason why a website like Backpage.com and its owners should be treated any differently than other facilitators of sex-trafficking. Thus, they have been dubbed "Village Voice Pimps."
Thus we are publishing the information about this problem on this website and will working with other activists to continue educating others.

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
I really really wish Candice can to the the Originals. Possible relationship with a killer aside, she would have soo much more to do. I don't agree that staying with TVD would be a better career move. And honestly, I'm not a Delena fan.
I am still praying that 5 out of 5 happens (I wanted JoMo, Claire, Daniel and Candice and Paul to move to the spin-off)....but I am guessing 3 out of 5 is as far as my wishes will be granted...still if by some miracle Elena does not get cured and stays sired to her eye-acting master, hopefully pretty soon Caroline and Stefan get tired of being forced to be a part of that drama and maybe show up on the spin-off from time to time....I would be ok with that bargain.
Otherwise its going to be 40 minutes of hearing bored voices and watching extensive eye-acting...ugh, it makes me so sick when I look at tv DE becos yeah book DE even wihtout the sex was super hot and intense to just read about..sigh
Seriously though, if they go there with KC and then have it be some giant joke, like Caroline slept with him so she could slip him the cure or something, I'll straight up stop watching. They've written TC as complete crap since season 3 and have had Trevino drop in an out so as to act as a buffer (and sometimes instrument for further interaction) as far as KC goes. To do it so riiight, and then to just ship half the couple off just seems pretty fucked. All I ask if they go there, go there right. Don't screw it up.
And please don't turn Caroline into a manipulate bitch. She gets the job done, I get it. But turning her into some sort of prostitute is not cool. And I have a feeling that that is exactly whats happening. She's going to fuck with Klaus some more, simply because she can. Klaus is going to kill some more, simply because they killed his brother and are now planning to kill him. The Caroline we know is actually very loving and forgiving. No one is asking her to forget anything. That is straight up impossible. But please just don't have her be some femme fatale type thing through and through. The reason why all the "distract Klaus" missions didn't feel icky was because there was some honesty there each and every time. I don't want the sex to be part of a mission. And I'm halfway convinced it is.
OMG...girl ,you're in my mind..I also think that the whole thing"let's have Caroline seduce Klaus in order to distruct him"makes her look like a slutty divice ...I believe that is the only way the writers can think to put them in the same room..lol.. have you even notice the way that she is dressed when she is trying to distract him..As for your theory about the upcoming Klaroline sex,I really hope it won't be a product of one of Damon 's notorious masterplans..that would destroy whatever dynamic they have built up until now
I actually love the way she dresses when she distracts him lol. Caroline know how to pull out the guns. Thats the thing too I don't mind if there's honesty involved. If what they share (i.e.: conversation) is real. And her distraction missions were pretty innocent or they failed. If the sex is part of a plan I don't know what i'll do lol
I think it has something to do with the cure. Maybe Elijah wants her to use it on Klaus? So the cure went from Katherine's hands to Elijah's and then to Caroline's. idk. I'm just not buying the i-hate-you sex thing. KC are not your average couple. The whole they start to fight and then start to tear each others clothes off thing. I mean, there's got to be something more.
I dunno about that, the whole married couple bickering I've seen this season, can convince me that there'd be hate sex. And I know this show loves repetition, but hasn't he been "distracted" enough? It's one thing to have a popular couple have sex through a sire bond, but then it's even more of a burn to do it with one of them using the other. I'm just saying, if it's a trick he's pretty stupid.

At about 5:30 Friday morning, Dec. 27, a Beaumont Police Department patrol officer found the body of a man along the west service road of the 5000 block of Eastex Freeway near Treadway Road. The man appeared to have been struck by a vehicle, according to a BPD press release.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker will soon decide whether to let the American Transmission Company build new power lines outside of Wisconsin.
The State Senate voted 31-1 Tuesday in favor of the measure, after the Assembly okayed it on a voice vote.
The Senate's only opponent, Middleton Democrat Jon Erpenbach, said it would not be a good deal for Wisconsin utility customers.
Walker's office says the governor will review the bill before deciding whether to approve it. The state's largest utilities own ATC. The Legislature created the firm 10 years ago to come up with a big picture for meeting the state's future electric transmission needs.
At a recent hearing, one of the company's vice presidents said ATC has come of age over the last decade, expanding its employment from 50 people to over 600. And by allowing out of state investments, the firm said it could add even more jobs.
ATC is planning to be part of a joint venture to take over the ownership of a line that links the electrical grids in northern and southern California. That same group is also considering a new 850-mile transmission line across four western states.

- Dirt washes away in the rain more readily, so you spend less time cleaning
- Allows more daylight in than comparable competitive products
How does it work?
A titanium dioxide layer is applied, which reacts chemically with the sun's UV rays and causes organic materials to decompose. When it rains, the dirt rinses away. Plus smoother glass is cleaner glass. The sputter coating process makes the glass ultra smooth, so the water "sheets off" more readily than it would on uncoated glass, and it allows more visible light transmittance than any comparable competitive product.
*Except units with specialty glass on surface #1 or #2
Glass Option - Preserve Protective Film
- Recommended for all windows & doors to protect the glass during shipping & installation
- Film applied to the interior and exterior of insulating glass as they are assembled

And, fine, Alabama's A.J. McCarron was pretty good too.
Photo: Mike Stone/ Landov | Licensed to Alpha Media Group 2013
In an epic sports weekend — Floyd Mayweather systematically picking apart Canelo Alvarez in the fight of the year; Peyton winning the Manning Bowl; The Red Sox sweeping the Yanks; Aaron Rodgers reminding everyone why he's the best quarterback in the NFL etc., etc. — the most exciting moment came in the second quarter of Saturday's game between number six-ranked Texas A&M and top-ranked Alabama. With all of the hoopla over Johnny Manziel's autographing controversy and off-field, off-season missteps, it was easy to forget why he won last year's Heisman trophy (as a freshman, no less). Saturday's performance, and this play in particular, was an eye-popping reminder:

Providing Care for 130,000 people per year takes dedicated individuals with expertise in medical, mental health, and dental health care. To ensure the quality and continuity of those services, additional employees with health care knowledge are required as well as employees to manage the administration and finances of this $50 million/year operation.
Medical doctors, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, and psychologists brought their expertise to more than 99,700 patient visits in the year ending June 30 2009. Additional patient care is provided by Registered Nurses (RN), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), and Correctional Health Technicians (CHT) with the support of Health Unit Coordinators (HUC). During a typical 24 hour period, at least 45 RNs, 35 LPNs, 38 CHTs, and 30 HUCs work 8 hour shifts providing needed services. During the year ending June 30 2009, these hard working individuals provided over 602,000 patient visits! Mental health professionals assess patients on a daily basis. Over 37,000 mental health counseling appointments were held. Ensuring the mental health of our patients is just as critical as caring for their physical health.
The health care needs of our patients are as complex and diverse as the population. Approximately 11% of our population has high blood pressure, another 7% are diabetic, and 1.5% are designated as Seriously Mentally Ill (SMI). Specialty patient visits including internal medicine, infectious disease, and orthopedics exceeded 3,000 appointments.

Elvis Presley Continentals Fan Club began in 1955, when four ladies, who were Elvis Presley fans got together with the intention of starting a Fan Club for Elvis. It is said that when they mentioned that to Elvis he replied.."I don't need all that fuss". They replied we are going to start you a Fan Club, and asked what to name the club, Elvis replied, "How about Elvis Presley Continentals after one of my favorite cars? Hence we are Elvis Presley Continentals Fan Club. We are the only club he ever named. Consequently our motto "The Club Elvis Named" was chosen. Our Fan Club relocated to Florida in 1978 to combat the negative publicity that emerged after Elvis died on August 16th, 1977. These people felt that the public was not remembering that this was a man who gave so much happiness to so many people all over the world through his music, films and his concerts; a man who generously supported many charities as well as gave to individuals in need or just to make someone happy.
Our club has contributed to many charities over the years but our main beneficiary is the Russell Home, Orlando, Florida. The Russell Home, a home for atypical children, is non-profit, existing primarily on donations from individuals and organizations such as ours. We feel that supporting a charity close to home base is important to those of us who do most of the work involved in managing the club. Elvis contributed to many charities in his hometown and Elvis Presley Continentals Fan Club, follows his lead. We also make donations to The Memphis Memorial Dinner Charity, The Elvis Presley Trauma Center and Presley Place. Since 2008 Our Club has gone to our Charity to have a party in their home for "The kids" to enjoy !!
We do lots of events over the course of a year. Our main event each year is our annual Elvis Presley Continentals Festival. This is held in Kissimmee in March. The festival, which is open to the public, gives everyone the opportunity to purchase Elvis memorabilia as well as the chance to meet those closest to Elvis. We also have a dinner Show for Elvis Fans to enjoy a Great "Elvis" evening.
FIRST AND FOREMOST, the members of the Elvis Presley Continentals Fan Club, strive to keep the memory of Elvis alive and in good repair. We will try to conduct ourselves and the club in a way that Elvis would approve. It is HIS memory we preserve and we promise to do so with the dignity he so richly deserves. Elvis Presley was and always will be the most influential person in the world of popular music. The world must never forget him!
