First and Foremost

Being brand new to the blogging community, we're hoping to jump right in and get up to speed with the rest of the 21st century. This week is a big week for Park Avenue. We are currently working on two big events.

First, is the Annual Great Grown Up Spelling Bee. Each year, The Palm Beach County Literacy Coalition hosts an event to raise money and awareness for literacy among our children and adults. The Annual Spelling Bee attracts some big businesses and organizations, including Palm Beach Post, Florida Atlantic University, Florida Crystals, and of course Park Avenue BBQ to name a few. Businesses sponsor teams of three adult spellers who compete at the live event on September 17th, 2009 at the Harriet Himmel Theatre in CityPlace.

In addition to the spelling bee, Park Avenue recently teamed up with ESPN 760 radio to create the Superstar of the Month contest. Local youth athletes are nominated if they have improved and/or excelled in sports, education, teamwork, leadership or have made a contribution to their family or community. Today marks the first day of voting for the first 6 nominees. Nominations are being accepted for October's contest by submitting a letter of nomination to superstar@espn760.com
