It is one of the most storied careers in modern music. Clint Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled Class of ’89, reaching #1 with five consecutive singles from his triple-platinum debut, Killin’ Time. He followed that with the triple-platinum Put Yourself in My Shoes, and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the ’90s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, including “A Better Man,” “Where Are You Now,” “When My Ship Comes In,” “A Good Run of Bad Luck,” “Summer’s Comin’,” “Like the Rain” and “Nothin’ But the Taillights,” part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 singles and made him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                                             October

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA – Orthopedic Humanitarian Initiatives,
Inc. (OrthoHi) provides support to indigent orthopedic patients in the
Philippines.  Healthcare providers in the
Philippines often lack resources to effectively meet the needs of their
patients, according to Dr. George Pujalte, a Jacksonville physician.

“What we take for granted here in the U.S., —  sutures, bandages, braces, all kinds of
medical supplies — may not be readily available to hospitals and physicians
in the Philippines,” Dr Pujalte noted.

“OrthoHi is collecting donations of medical supplies and
shipping them to hospitals in the Philippines.
We are also raising funds to pay for those things we are not able to
collect.”

The nonprofit organization is holding a very special
fundraiser next month to help children suffering from clubfoot and for other
orthopedic healthcare issues.

In partnership with the Filipino Language and Cultural
School of Jacksonville and the Arlington Congregational Church, OrthoHi is
presenting a workshop to teach participants how to make a Christmas Star
Lantern, or Parol, as it is known in the Philippines.

The parol is a 5-sided star, commemorating the Christmas
Star which guided the Magi to Bethlehem.
Constructed of bamboo and Japanese paper, the colorful star is lit with
a string of lights inside.  Instructors
from the Filipino Language and Cultural School of Jacksonville will teach
participants how to make the parol, which the participants can then take
home.  Cost for the workshop, including
instruction and all materials, is $35 per person.

The workshop will be held Saturday, November 13, 2021 from
12 to 2 p.m. at the Arlington Congregational Church, 431 University Blvd N.,
Jacksonville, FL  32211.  A portion of the workshop fee, and all
donations, are tax deductible.

For more information on purchasing tickets, contact Miriam
Smith, [email protected] or Julie
Jardeleza, [email protected].
Space is limited, tickets sold on a first come basis.  Covid 19 protocols will be in place.

Come watch Hypnotini bring comedy, magic and hypnosis to an improv performance, as members of the audience becoming stars on stage!  You or “that friend” might get hypnotized and be the superstar of silliness you can talk about for weeks!
