MARCH 2017 12 positive exhilarating and confirming of my core values which have been instilled in me since I was a child Knowing that women men and children were engaged in the same activity throughout the country was thrilling Jo s orange and blue toned renderings were a hit She says many made tees using the blue version I was delighted with the response of the Pelican Covers and even more so as I got reports of marchers reactions to my signs and tees Left to right Susan Feltus Betty Dollries Jo Ubogy Carol Redmond Calva Leonard and Carol Poll Meet Your Neighbors The Solidarity Marchers from Pelican Cove By Donna Anderson January 21 dawned as a sunny breezy cerulean bluesky kind of day At 10 30 a m 47 residents walked past the Gatehouse to board a chartered bus others joined carpools Passengers wore comfortable shoes T shirts caps and copious sunscreen while managing sometimes unwieldy cloth and foam board signs Those posters bore personal messages to the nation and the newly minted administration Just as Teresa Shook s Facebook suggestion to march went internationally viral the wireless networks of Pelican Cove the chats doorbells phones and email alerts sounded Helene Crawford organized transportation to the Ringling Bridge Jane Campbell scouted for parking and got permission from Church of the Redeemer Jo Ubogy designed a stunning poster of women advancing hand in hand available for three dollars honor jar at her door and Merry Gerber set up a workshop on the Wilbanks lawn for those who wanted to paint their own They are four of the organizers who made it easy to join the Sarasota Solidarity March Our conversations onboard were convivial and animated As we rounded the bayfront however we entered a world of sound a sea of signs a confluence of traffic Drivers rubbernecked snapping photos cheering giving the thumbs up tooting their horns It was electric We joined people like us a political and social mix Democrats Independents perhaps a few Republicans We were first time marchers and long time activists past professionals and stay at home moms worried grandmothers alarmed pro lifers galvanized citizens astonished voters all We marched for dignity human rights the planet the arts the free press voter turnout the right to be heard etc in harmony with one another and on behalf of those who couldn t the very embodiment of Jo s image Estimates from the police and those of the organizers range from 8 000 participants to 10 000 plus It felt like more Merry says I found the Women s March to be extremely Jane writes I loved the March itself It felt exactly as it did when I was in my 20 s and demonstrating against the war and for women s rights I had never had my husband with me and it was fun to see him get into it Helene remembers The March brought us all together for a common cause peacefully sharing support with each other and the world for peace honesty solidarity and love She continues to forward emails sharing news and ideas legislative contact information organizational meetings fund raising events Shook s idea and the subsequent march is a 21st century turn on an oft used practice coming together by any means possible to get things done Pelican Cove has a near 40 year history of realizing common goals merging 17 associations into one establishing a library a one of a kind university artist studios clubs sporting groups happy hours socials etc not to mention frequent stellar entertainment We create what we imagine by uniting in small and large groups sharing a bottle of wine posting notices knocking on doors We encourage ideas and follow through The result if something is worth doing it will likely be done in this fertile creative community Well done Folk Music Club Activities in March By Joel Leonard The Singalong in January had an unexpected guest drop in to sing for us David Sear an icon of the New York City folk scene shades of Pete Seeger complete with an uncannily similar voice and banjo In early February the first Pelican Cove Yiddish Singalong was such a great success that the room was completely packed fire marshall alert we ll need a larger venue if we do this again Thanks to Fradle Freidereich and her musical helpers For the month of March we have two programs scheduled On Tuesday March 7 at 7 30 p m at the Harbor Club there will be a mandolin guitar recital featuring Joel Leonard and Jeffrey Doll and Friends They will play some baroque and classical favorites and a group of ragtime pieces as well as a couple of Russian Gypsy crowd pleasers Our last community Singalong will be held on Tuesday March 21 at 7 30 p m at the Harbor Club As usual songbooks will be provided as well as music by the Pelican Cove String Band
