Looking for a few Good People… and Pictures, Too

Ever wonder how you could help your community? The Coral Gables Museum is holding a Volunteer Opportunity Fair on Sunday, Sept. 29, from 1 – 4 p.m., to answer that question. The fair will feature some two dozen local organizations that use volunteers, including Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, Books and Books, Coral Gables Art Cinema, Coral Gables Woman’s Club, the Merrick House, and Friends of Gables High. The fair is open to anyone who wants to volunteer; the organizations will describe how volunteers can help, and what’s offered in return. For further information, call Jude Alexander, the museum’s volunteer coordinator, at 305.608.1423 (jude@coralgablesmuseum.org).

The museum is also calling for applications to its sixth annual photo contest, Capture Coral Gables 2020. Awards will be given in the categories of Portraiture, Street Photography, Nature/ Landscape, Night Photography, and Digital Photo Manipulation. Winners will have their work exhibited at the museum (and in this magazine); the Grand Prize winner will receive a Leica camera from the primary sponsor, Leica Store Miami (on Miracle Mile). You can enter now through January 19. Visit www.capturecoralgables.org to apply.
