Creative Arts Foundation of Brevard- Marshall Frank By Steve Spragins

Our meeting of March 20th, 2013 was conducted by Mar-shall Frank, the esteemed husband of Suzanne Frank. Mar-shall is a retired Miami homicide investigator, published author and musical talent. Marshall and Suzanne are also founding members of the Creative Arts Foundation of Bre-vard, as are several other members of our Rotary club. As

he has done in years’ past, Marshall was able to round up several of the young, most musically gifted students in our county.

The students below are only a smattering of the talent to be highlighted Sunday, April 14th, at 4:00 P.M. at the Henegar Center located in historic downtown Melbourne. Tickets to the event are tax deductible and cost a paltry $22.00 to witness the best of the best high school students battling musically for $1,000’s of dollars in awards.

Our first performer was Elizabeth Prado, a 15 year old 10th grader attending Cocoa Beach High School, who sang a stirring rendition of “Have a Margarita”, which, as it turns out was not quite correct. She actually sang “Ave Maria”, and did a quite nice rendition of the Charles Gounod/J.S. Bach little ditty.

Next up was Mike Tornatta, 17, who is currently tak-ing classes at the George Washington Virtual High School, which could be virtually anywhere. His beautiful voice belted out the great lyrics of what this writer thinks was an Italian opera song, as I have not heard this song neither on “The Voice” or “American Idol”.

Our last guest performer was Elizabeth Hargis, a soon to be 17 year old (the next day), who

stood right at 6’ tall, and could someday be a standout vol-leyball player when not sitting in front of a piano. Elizabeth is home schooled and competes in musical events against her sister. The title of the piece played was mostly vowels with just a few consonants intermingled, and sounded as if it were at least a sentence long. Her fingers glided across the key-board and the music produced was delightful, pleasing and complex. All in all, these students showcased the type of talent be gathering April 14th at the Henegar Center. See Suzanne Frank or Larry or Susan Cinco if you are interested in attending.

Spotlight on President-Elect Corinne Ishler

Corinne Ishler knows her way around internationally, nationally and professionally.

She was born in Harbel, Liberia, West Africa, came to Hagerstown, Maryland at the age of 9, and then lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She came to Melbourne, Florida in 1979 after studying illustration and graphic design at the Cleveland Institute of Art and studied journalism at Penn State University before becoming Owner, Operations Director and Designer of All Media Graphics in Melbourne. Corinne previously worked for 22 years as a graphics and product designer for Florida Today newspaper.

One exception to her seemingly flawless itinerary was a wrong move several years ago that added 25 miles to a 50-mile long-distance cycling event in Cler-mont.

Her father Karl was a doctor on a rubber plantation and her mother Herta was a translator who spoke and wrote nine different languages. An elder brother, now deceased, also was a doctor, and her other brother works for the US Postal Service. Corinne’s daughter Amanda, a Client Retention Manager, lives in Se-attle, Washington. Daughter Kirby is a first-grade teacher in Tampa, Florida.

Her hobbies and “special interests” include sports, cycling (Corinne has compet-ed in various distance-cycling events and several ½ marathons, plus a triathlon - placing in the top 25% in each event), home improvement and decorating, and assisting in the planning of her daughter Kirby’s upcoming wedding.

She is a multiple winner of the American Advertising Federation’s ADDY award for her product design work with Spaces magazine. She serves on the Board of Directors of Devereux Florida, is an active member of the Melbourne Regional Chamber of Commerce and is a member of Women in Defense – a national se-curity organization that provides women a formal environment for professional growth through networking, education and career development.

Fortunately for our club, Corinne made the right move when she accepted the office of President-Elect (2012-13) in March of this year. She has already attended the President-Elect Training Seminar. We can all look forward to an-other great Indialantic Rotary Club year (2013-14) under her leadership.

Birthdays this week!

Our two birthday celebrants this week are Susan Cinco – March 24 – and Steve Spragins – March 25. Are they wearing their aquamarine birth-stones this week?

Is it the truth? President Dwan reminded members that the club pays for lunches for all members present at each meeting. Apparently a few or us forget to make our payments causing a substantial deficit in the club’s operating budget.

Please, when you sign in remember to pay your $20, which includes $1.00 for a 50/50
