Cupcake Painting by Howie Green
Howie Green Design
"Cupcake" 12" square, acrylic and mixed media on canvas, mounted on board and framed in hand painted wood frame.

Famous pop artist Howie Green has won over 40 design awards for his work for international clients including IBM, Coca-Cola, CBS, LL Bean, & CBS.  He painted the portrait of rap legend Biggie Smalls for the cover of the album "Unbelievable" and on a local level, you may remember his work from the "Golf Balls on Parade" during the PGA in Rochester.  Howie is currently working on an ongoing mural for the Boston Red Sox Foundation.

In addition to donating this piece of artwork to the Chocolate Ball Silent Auction, Howie Green donated his time to create a mural for our Structured Day Program. He came for the day in early January and sketched out a mural that incorporated all of our day programs favorite things. Over the next month, participants and staff painted in all the big blocks of color.  Howie returned on Feb. 5th to put the final touches on the mural.  We are so grateful to have such a wonderful and well-renowned artist brighten up our Structured Day Program space!

“Hamilton,” Broadway Show Tickets 
Enjoy two rear mezzanine tickets to the smash hit “Hamilton” at the Richard Rogers Theatre. This red-hot musical about Founding Father and first Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton has taken over Broadway, the White House and likely your newsfeed. The Boston Globe reported, “Hamilton is everything they say: brilliantly written to convey complex personal and historical nuances in a variety of modern pop styles, ingeniously staged, rapturously acted and sung, dazzlingly choreographed. It may be the first time a Broadway show has exceeded its hype.”

Curling & Scotch

You have seen this intriguing sport at the Olympics and now you want to try it yourself.  The Rochester (New York) Curling Club offers Learn to Curl classes for adults ages 18 and up. The five-week program includes individual instruction and practice time, as well as the opportunity to play actual games.  

Curling is a social sport focusing on fun, fitness, strategy, and teamwork.   Played on a special indoor sheet of ice, the sport has both a physical and analytical aspect.  With the rigorous sweeping required for many shots, participants get a good cardiovascular workout, and the strategy of the game is why it is often referred to as “chess on ice”.  The goal is to slide your stone closest to the target and then maintain that advantage while your competitor tries to get closer or knock your stone out.     

Three sessions will be offered during the 2016-2017 curling season.  Each session consists of five classes which are held on Sundays from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.


Weekly karaoke & trivia enhance this cheery English pub sporting a long bar & twists on grill fare.
