June 17, 2014 Canandaigua Connected ENewsletter 

 

Someone told me yesterday that CC (Canandaigua Connected) and CF (Canandaigua Fitness) are mostly about building community.  I like this thought.  There are a lot of local, national, and global issues these days that seem to create division amongst us instead of unifying.  We can celebrate our differences while still feeling part of a community. Isn't that what being American is truly about?

Enjoy this week's CC and being connected!

  • FLCC's Book Feast fundraiser pairs good reads, gourmet food

     

    When the autobiography of New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen was released back in late 2012, Canandaigua Mayor Ellen Polimeni wasted no time picking up a copy.

     

    She is, after all, among the blue collar musician's most devoted followers - at least in these parts. A fan since the 1970s, she has over 20 albums, several videos of live performances and has seen him in concert more than once.

     

    Polimeni's passion for "The Boss" will no doubt be evident this fall, as she leads the discussion about the book, "Bruce," by author Peter Ames Carlin in the third annual Book Feast fundraiser for Finger Lakes Community College  on Saturday, Oct. 18.

     

    The FLCC Foundation has begun taking reservations for Book Feast. Participants sign up to read a particular book then share a gourmet dinner and conversation with others who have read the same book. More info here.
