Imperial Polk Genealogical Society - A Florida Family Homesteader During Times of Social, Racial, and Political Unrest
Other
Family lineage involves a group of people descended from a common ancestor. An ascending lineage begins with a younger person and traces ancestors upward to parents, grandparents, and as high as one can climb the family tree. A descending lineage begins with a known elder ancestor and traces the family tree downward to the youngest known descendant . This is important for heritage societies, such as the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution. They require proof of direct lineage for membership. Come be inspired by a story about Gale Pinkston’s paternal, second-great-grandfather. It illustrates the kinship-proving process not only for heritage societies but sparks the fascination underlying all valid family histories.

We are proud to announce that with the help of generous sponsors and donors like you, we were able to raise almost $400 thousand dollars from last years event. We hope to raise even more this year, but we cannot do that without people like you.

Curtains - Spring Musical from Harrison School for the Arts
Community
Harrison School for the Arts Musical Theatre department is excited to present Curtains on Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1 at 7:00 p.m. as well as Sunday, March 2 at 2:00 p.m. in the main theatre.
Curtains is a hilarious, backstage, whodunit musical set in Boston, Massachusetts in 1959. When the talentless leading lady of a floundering theatre troupe mysteriously dies on stage, the cast and crew become suspects. Police Lieutenant Cioffi, an avid musical theatre fan, must solve the case and restore the show in time for its Broadway debut. As secrets are revealed and production numbers are rehearsed and rewritten, the body count rises.
Opening on Broadway in 2007, Curtains received 8 Tony nominations, with a win for David Hyde Pierce in the leading role. The Wall Street Journal hailed it as “a charming and witty homage to musical theatre”. Indeed, though written recently, the musical has all the hallmarks of a classic: glamorous dance numbers reminiscent of Fred and Ginger, larger-than-life characters, and a toe-tapping score that the audience will leave humming. Among all the mystery and intrigue, relationships are reconciled, love is found, and the resilience of the troupe shines through.
Tickets are $18 adults, $16 students/seniors and are available at www.harrisonarts.com/tickets. Harrison School for the Arts is located at 750 Hollingsworth Rd., Lakeland, FL 33801.
Special thanks to our sponsor Cassidy Psychiatry.

Whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your doorstep or create a welcoming entrance, this workshop will guide you through the process of stenciling, painting, and customizing your doormat.
We'll provide all the materials you need, including high-quality mats, paints, brushes, and stencils, along with hands on instruction to help you bring your vision to life.
