LPGA Tournment Officials


The Ladies’ Professional Golf Association (LPGA) experienced a  glamorous end to their 2001 season in the Tyco / ADT Championship Event at Trump International Golf Club, WPB. These professionals were treated to a first-class golf experience on this magnificent course and top-of-the-line accommodations at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago. Trans World International (TWI) Production Manager Joe McCarthy said “Our experience in PBC was delightful. We received more cooperation than in any other event we’ve produced. I’m really looking forward to returning.” 
The FTC worked with Trans World International, ABC Sports, and ESPN to coordinate the live television coverage of the event which resulted in 8 hours of network broadcast time. Additionally, the FTC helped coordinate a tourism video aired during the ride from the parking area to the fairways. Parallax Productions donated a significant amount of time and resources to this volunteer effort.
The LPGA Championship will take place at Trump International Golf Club again in 2002 thanks to the tireless efforts of County Commissioner Jeff Koons, PBC Sports Commission, Tyco / ADT Championship, the local organizing committee for the event and the overwhelming support from the community.

 

Maritime Academy Gets Slimed by Nickelodeon

   The Palm Beach Maritime Academy won the fourth and final grand prize of the Nick Takes Over Your School national sweepstakes, sponsored by Kraft Foods and Nickelodeon. Thanks to 10-year-old Nickelodeon fan Robert “Corey” Hall, he and his fellow students enjoyed a fun-filled school day featuring a concert performance for hip-hop artist and Nickelodeon celebrity Nick Cannon, Nick-style games, Nick celebrities and plenty of slime.
The festivities were hosted by Slime Time Live hosts Dave Aizer, Jonah Travick and Jessica Holmes and included a customized version of the Nickelodeon game show Slime time Live (the messiest show on television), with students and teachers as contestants. At the end of the day, Corey was presented with a Grand Prize check of $1,000, followed by a $5,000 check for the school. The ultimate honor was bestowed upon Corey and Principal Maria Turchiaro-they were slimed on national television.
“We were delighted to provide a fun-filled day for the kids at the Palm Beach Maritime Academy,” said Lisa Coker, Director of Marketing, Kraft Foods. “Kraft and Nickelodeon have partnered on many successful promotions in the past and we’re thrilled with the response to our largest back-to school promotion ever,” added Pam Kauffman, Senior Vice President, Promotions Marketing, Nickelodeon.

It's Showtime for Local Producer

Local producer Ike McFadden’s romantic comedy, 101 Ways debuts nationwide on the cable giant Showtime December 3rd and 16th. This marks the premiere of McFadden’s first feature film. McFadden first came to Florida in 1994. “I made Florida my home base because it’s kind of half-way between NY and LA. I’ve come to find that there are a great number of talented people in South Florida’s production community. Too few NY and LA based producers take advantage of it,” says McFadden. This ambitious producer has started his own production company in PBC called Perception Media Group which will specialize in the next generation of TV programming. They expect to be on the air by mid-2002.
101 Ways
is a quirky romantic comedy about the trials and tribulations of Watson, an aspiring female writer who is forced by fate and finance to take a string of ever more demanding and demeaning part-time jobs. The film stars Glen Fitzgerald (The Sixth Sense), Gabriel Mact (X-Files) and Jamie Harold (Erin Brockovich) as the heroine’s parade of equally part-time friends and lovers.
