Coastal Connection with Terri Wright WFIT 89.5FM

SBB is a local beekeeping club that meets monthly and focuses on educating and helping people get started. We have start-up kits, tools, accessories, and materials to build hives.

Our monthly meetings held on the SECOND TUESDAY of each month at Christian Development Center (343 Nail St. Palm Bay, FL 32904) will primarily provide hands-on education and information specifically pertinent to the Southern Coast area. Subject matter will be relevant to the current season and weather, any insect threats, and seasonal behaviors of the bees. 6:30-7:00 is a presentation for New-Bees and 7:00-8:00 is for education and conversation.

Our mission is based on "Paying it Forward". We will help and assist every member with startup (including a "split" or captured swarm or hive), understanding that the same will be given in return to future members.

For the last 100 years, all students have been taught subjects such as math, reading, science, etc. Still, almost 50% of elementary schools don't mandate nutrition education, a vital factor to their overall health, as these habits kids develop at a young age are likely to follow in the future. Nutrients Without Limits is an organization dedicated to teaching children about nutrition and healthy eating, especially at Title-1 schools.

Nutrients Without Limits is a passionate and forward-thinking organization committed to championing nutrition literacy among school students. Our mission is to empower the youth with the understanding and capabilities to make informed, healthy dietary choices and lay the groundwork for a lifelong wellness journey.

At Nutrients Without Limits, we firmly believe that knowledge is the cornerstone of nutritional empowerment. We engage with schools across all levels, from elementary to high school, conducting interactive and captivating workshops on nutrition. Our team comprises seasoned nutritionists and educators who spearhead these workshops, ensuring that students gain practical insights into understanding balanced diets, the importance of various nutrients, meal planning, and cultivating healthy eating habits. Recognizing the diverse needs across age groups, our curriculum is meticulously tailored to address the specific nutritional needs of each grade level. For younger students, we focus on the basics of nutrition, food groups, and healthy choices. In comparison, for older students, we delve deeper into macronutrients, mindful eating, and the impact of nutrition on mental health.

Our approach transcends theoretical knowledge. We connect nutritional concepts to real-life scenarios, making them relatable and understandable for students. Through hands-on activities and engaging demonstrations, we equip them with the skills to make informed dietary decisions as they progress through different life stages. Complementing our in-person workshops, we offer a treasure trove of online resources, including articles, videos, and interactive tools, enabling students and educators to continue their nutritional education journey beyond the classroom. Nutrients Without Limits also organizes contests and challenges, fostering practical application of acquired knowledge, instilling confidence, and celebrating their dietary endeavors.

Community engagement forms the bedrock of our mission. We actively collaborate with parents, educators, and school administrations to reinforce the significance of nutrition education. We provide resources for parents to further discussions at home and encourage schools to integrate nutrition literacy into their curriculum. Beyond the school confines, Nutrients Without Limits advocates for enhanced nutrition education both locally and nationally. We collaborate with policymakers, educational institutions, and allied organizations to advocate for including nutrition literacy in school curricula.

Partnering with Nutrients Without Limits allows schools and communities to ensure their students have the knowledge and skills to make wholesome dietary choices, steering them toward lifelong well-being. Our commitment to promoting nutrition literacy is an investment in fostering a healthy, informed, and empowered generation.

MCT is organized to promote community interest in the performing arts, provide opportunities in all production and theatre management phases, educate in all areas of production and theatre management, and provide quality cultural entertainment to the community it serves.

We are Brevard County’s ‘longest running’ arts organization, an intimate 93-seat Community Theatre in the heart of Historic Downtown Melbourne.

Melbourne Civic Theatre began life as the Indian River Players in 1951. Indian River Players staged three seasons in the municipal auditorium at Trailer Haven, starting with its first play – Big Hearted Herbert – in February of 1952. Renovation of a partially burned Navy Mess Hall resulted in the theatre that would be IRP’s home for over 23 years. IRP was incorporated as a Florida Not For Profit Company in 1965.

In 1988, Indian River Players joined the effort to renovate the Henegar Center in downtown Melbourne and changed its name to Melbourne Civic Theatre to better identify the community we serve. When the Henegar Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1991, we were the resident theatre group. Then, a 1999 move took us to the Metro West Shopping Center in West Melbourne, where we renovated the former Meadowland Library into a theater.

Since 2006, MCT has made its home in the intimate space at La Galerie Arcade in Downtown Melbourne. This 93-seat theater opened as The Ensemble Theatre of Florida in 1986 and was later occupied by The Phoenix Theatre.

Our award-winning theater was named Winner of the Florida Theatre Conference in 1980 with The Dumb Waiter and again in 1990 with Painting Churches, for which IRP mainstay Gillian Wilson also won Best Actress.

Over six decades of entertaining and educating theatergoers, MCT has had its ebbs and flows, changes, moves, and challenges like any volunteer organization. Faces may change, but the passion for theatrical excellence remains.

As part of the flourishing Historic Downtown Melbourne, Melbourne Civic Theatre continues to enrich the quality of life in Brevard County.
