The Army Reserve will celebrate its 114th birthday with the theme, ‘America’s Army Reserve and its People, Shaping Tomorrow!’ Throughout history, Soldiers have leveraged their professional skills while serving in uniform, adding substantial value and depth to the force, with skills, education and expertise developed in the private sector. As the Army Reserve looks ahead to the future, it will be one of the most experienced and diverse forces in our Nation’s history.

The service is celebrating the generations of men and women who embrace their roles as “Citizen Soldiers,” continuing a proud and distinguished legacy of service. Army Reserve Soldiers have integrated their military service with civilian careers, family, and personal lives, succeeding and thriving in the workplace and on the battlefield. They are doctors, lawyers, academics, scientists, engineers, cyber specialists, police officers, first responders, transportation specialists, administrators, and more–and they’re at the top of their fields.

Since 2001, more than 420,000 Army Reserve Soldiers have been mobilized and routinely deployed in 23 countries around the world. From natural disasters to national emergencies, the Army Reserve has never failed to answer the Nation’s call.

Daniels holds a bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics (Computer Science) from Carnegie Mellon University, a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) as well as a master’s degree in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College. Lt. Gen. Daniel’s military career has been a mix of active and Reserve duty service and she describes herself as an “Army brat.” Her father retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Corps of Engineers.

BOSTON (March, 2020) — Fenway Community Center (FCC), an independent nonprofit neighborhood space, will hold its annual fundraiser “Love, Fenway,” at 6:30pm on March 19 at its address, 1282 Boylston Street. FCC’s mission is to serve as a gathering place to share information, deliver programs, and provide services that enrich the lives of all Fenway residents, while also exemplifying its values of collaboration, community, enrichment, equity, innovation, and sustainability. This is the center’s second yearly benefit to celebrate, support, and generate more awareness of its organization and the services it provides. It will include awards, live music, an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, a raffle, and a silent auction. Tickets for “Love, Fenway” are $75 and available via the FCC website or Eventbrite.

Last year, the fundraiser was a huge success, raising more than $25,000 for the Center. The attendance and participation demonstrated the passion of residents to contribute to their neighborhood and the organization’s influence within Fenway. FCC serves its neighborhood residents as its priority but welcomes surrounding communities as well. The Center is determined to hold a successful fundraiser to bring awareness and expand on their services. This year, with the sustained support of its members, friends, and sponsors, it hopes to continue building a more united community.

At “Love, Fenway” this March, Executive Director of FCC Robert Kordenbrock will present the 2020 Community Spirit Award to Brenda Clark, as well as honor the late Stephen Sorkin. Clark first came upon FCC in September 2018 and has been an active member since. She currently serves on multiple committees, including those for Programming and Health & Wellness for All. Sorkin moved to the area in 1978 to pursue his passion for teaching theatre. He taught his own “Acting is Believing” class and subsequent January 2019 performance at FCC, showcasing the community of diverse people and talents he cultivated.

Reflecting on the progress the nonprofit has made, Kordenbrock said, “we’ve experienced unprecedented growth since last year’s Love, Fenway as far as membership, attendance at FCC programs and events, and financial support from local businesses.” He added, “we have exciting plans in store for the rest of 2020 and can’t wait to share them with the Fenway community!”

Fenway Community Center at The Viridian is a 501(c)(3) organization established to provide a safe, vibrant, and inclusive neighborhood gathering space for Fenway and Audubon Circle residents and organizations; to provide multigenerational programming of benefit to the community; and to partner with local groups, colleges, universities, and institutions to provide creative and useful classes, exhibitions, and workshops in arts and culture, health and wellness, education and enrichment, and civic engagement. The mission of the Fenway Community Center is to serve as a gathering place to share information, deliver programs, and provide services that enrich the lives of all Fenway residents. FCC firmly believes in the importance of supporting those who live in Fenway and, in line with our mission, our stated values are: collaboration, community, enrichment, equity, innovation, and sustainability.

New York, New York (May 14, 2013) – Launching exclusively in North America this fall, Lavazza – Italy’s Favorite Coffee – debuts a distinct line of four specialty blends: Gran Aroma, Classico, Gran Selezione, and Perfetto.

At the heart of Lavazza’s story is a single family’s passion for coffee. Beginning with Luigi Lavazza, in 1895, four generations of the Lavazza family have devoted themselves to continuous innovation, creation and sharing of authentically Italian espresso and coffee experiences.

Ennio Ranaboldo, CEO of Lavazza North America, says, “Lavazza has placed a strong focus on this launch in the U.S. and Canada, two growth markets of strategic importance for us. Using our specific procurement, roasting and blending expertise in Italy, and with the help of massive consumer research and testing in North America, we have started this line of truly outstanding blends that deliver on superior flavor expectations.”

The new line consists of beans from a variety of carefully selected origins, blended and roasted with dedicated processes, to result in a range of flavor intensity and taste profiles:

• Gran Aroma: Medium roast, smooth & aromatic, with citrusy notes
• Classico: Medium roast, rich & full-bodied, with hints of dried fruit
• Gran Selezione (100% Rainforest Alliance certified coffee): Dark roast, intense and chocolaty
• Perfetto: Espresso roast, dark and velvety with a lingering caramel finish

The new packaging – unique in design, shape and materials – embodies the core value, and promise to the coffee lover, of the Lavazza brand: “Italian passion in every cup”. With an easy opening/easy closing feature, it ensures unmatched quality and constant freshness in every bag.

Lavazza’s specialty coffee blends will be available nationally, in September 2013. (SRP: $9.99 / 12oz pack)

Let our passion be your pleasure!
