Children’s Museum of Naples at Bell Tower Shops
The Children’s Museum of Naples’ education series, Family Fun, is expanding into Lee County at Bell Tower Shops. Children, ages 4 through 8, will have the opportunity to explore the world through hands-on activities at the Fort Myers shopping center.
Held the third Saturday of each month, through July 17, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Family Fun programs are free, fun and open to the public. Each activity takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and snacks and juice are provided. A parent or adult must stay and participate in the Family Fun activities.
Space Kidettes (July 17). Explore the outer reaches of the universe and study the effects of gravity, then make a rocket that can really blast off.
For additional information on the Family Fun programs, contact Jennifer Sabo, C’mon’s education director, at 239-514-0084.
The dog-friendly Bell Tower Shops is an open-air lifestyle center, located in Fort Myers at U.S. 41 and Daniels Parkway, with 40 retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue and The Fresh Market, nine restaurants and Bell Tower 20 Regal Cinemas. The center’s sidewalk garden setting of lush landscaping, splashing fountains and covered walkways makes it a popular gathering place. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the center. To learn more, log onto www.TheBellTowerShops.com, or call 239-489-1221.
Scheduled to open in late 2010, the 30,000-square-foot Children’s Museum of Naples will be Collier County’s first learning environment devoted exclusively to child’s play and the serious business of discovery that helps children attain hallmark milestones on the journey into adulthood. C’mon will present a well-rounded universe of exhibits and programs that lead children and their families on a journey from the swamps of the Everglades to the outer reaches of the galaxy and from an experience at a working farm, to a day at the beach. The Children’s Museum of Naples is envisioned to be one of the finest children’s museums in the United States. To learn more about exhibits or sponsorships, call C’mon at 239-514-0084 or visit www.cmon.org.

The Club Pelican Bay, Naples, FL
The Founders Fund – 2010 Biennial Ed Brennan Memorial Golf Tournament to be held at The Club Pelican Bay. The competition will begin with two shotgun starts at 8:45 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. The golf tournament is the main fundraiser for the scholarships given to local high school graduates to further their education.
Scholarships of $2,000 are awarded to 25 Collier County students each year. They are selected based on financial need and academic merit. As students keep their grades high, the scholarship is renewed each year until graduation. This charitable organization is coordinated by volunteers, allowing for the monies gathered at this event to be reserved for deserving students of Collier County.
There are many ways to be a part of this golf tournament, from being a player or sponsor to donating items for the raffle and silent auction. Donations for the auction and raffle will be accepted all the way until the day of the tournament, April 12th. Sponsors are entitled to two playing spots in the tournament and four places at the awards dinner, as well as publicity in all of The Founders Fund materials and publications and invitations to the annual luncheon and scholarship award ceremony. Anyone involved will also experience the joy that comes from helping the community’s best and brightest reach their dreams.
