1. CHERYL PREHEIM 9News Anchor “Reeling From Rio!”
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 You will have the pleasure of watching Cheryl in August, Zika or no, and
now, we get to hear how the Olympic planning, writing, filming and broadcasting all took place. Cheryl loves
sports and is the winner of 8 Emmys, 3 National Edward R Morrow Awards and 7 Regional ones. Most of these
awards do not relate to the sporting world, thus making her a newscaster of all trades. Her experience from two
previous Olympics in London and Sochi has brought her some special friendships with athletes Missy Franklin
and Mikaela Shiffrin. She is also the founder of the “Never Shake a Baby” initiative. Let’s kick-off the season in
a big way!
ELIZABETH KAYE “Lifeboat No. 8” A Titanic Story You Never Knew
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2016 The compelling and poignant presentation of a story known only by a
sparse few will leave you spellbound as to the bravery, suffering, high drama and timeless decisions made by
the members of a group of fellow-passengers assigned to Lifeboat No. 8. off the doomed “Ship of Dreams” The
story will be 105 years old this coming April 15, 2017. Ms Kaye is the first to focus on what happened when
tiny wooden boats rolled away through the forbidding sea, staring up at the mightiest ship ever made while
failing to heed desperate warnings. Elizabeth’s small and mighty book reached both the Amazon and NY Times
Best Seller’s lists.
ANGELICA DANEO “Glory of Venice” Masterworks/the Renaissance - DAM Curator of Painting & Sculpture
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2016 This upcoming glorious show is being co-curated with Dr. Giovanna
Damiani of Venice, Italy. Learn from Angelica how the Masters, whose sensitivity to color and light remained
unparalleled for centuries, veered from traditional techniques and began using oil paint to experiment with
depth, emotion and dimension. The exhibition is available at the DAM between October 2, 2016 and February
12, 2017. The 45 works of art assembled will feature 22 pieces direct from Venice and will include paintings
by Carpaccio, Titian, Bellini and Conegliano, to name a few. Following Angelica’s masterful talk, you can be a
knowledgeable master, yourself!

anecdotes, knowledge and innate rhetoric, will leave you spellbound, as always.
