Sex in the City 2 Premiere
Friday was THE place to be and be seen at the Sex in the City 2 premier event at Blue Martini in CityPlace. Over 130 smartly dressed women and men filled 2 theatres at Movico Palace in CityPlace.
Sprouts! was proud to help sponsor this fun event, with all the proceeds going to Healing Touch Buddies, an organization we love to support. Healing Touch Buddies offers free Healing Touch for up to one year to women challenged with breast cancer. Healing Touch is a complementary healing process that functions from an energy perspective rather than just a physical one. The goal is to restore harmony and balance to the mind, body and spirit. It is not a massage, rather a gentle placement of hands on and around the body.

The CARE committee of the DoubleTree Palm Beach Gardens Hotel and Executive Meeting Center sponsored a great event with local school kids - “Love Your Trees, Love Your Community, Love Your Earth” - held in conjunction with Earth Day and National Arbor Day.
“Julie Seay’s Second Grade class at Timber Trace Elementary School jumped at the chance to partake in the program and they had a BLAST doing so. So much so that they have re-signed with us for this coming Fall’s program,” said Michael McMahon, General Manager.
All the kids were treated to breakfast in the Executive Conference Center, followed by a tour by David Margolis, Director of Sales & Marketing. Later, Mayor David Levy was there to lend a hand in the planting of a Long Leaf Pine Tree.
