In an email, Mike Dunham, the play’s director, de-
scribed why he wanted to direct this play.

“My decision was made after reading just the first few
pages,” he wrote. “I believe comedy works best when it
hits close to home, a reflection of our own lives and ex-
periences. The play is beautifully written, with characters
that allow us to relate and release as we joyfully follow
along with their struggles to communicate and support
each other while oblivious to their own level of dysfunc-
tion. Along the way, you’ll experience chaos, conflict,
love, mystery and coming to terms with what family is all
about.”

Dunham moved to the Treasure Coast a few years ago
and has been impressed by the talent pool available for
community theater. His cast for the play includes Caryn
Schneider as Helen, Maggie Frazer as Aunt Maggie, Grace

was no problem finding the perfect
food to whet one’s pallet. Guests sam-
pled everything from pork chops with
rice, Florida Gator gumbo, BBQ rib
bites, Blackened gator Loupgarou, mac
’n cheese, and pizza, to cheese cakes
and cupcakes, just to name a few. They
quenched their thirst with specialty
sodas, craft beer and wine, and freshly
brewed cider and tea.

While most of the culinary delights
were served up by local restaurants,
two primary schools baked up some
savory desserts. Young chefs from
Northport K-8 and St. Lucie West K-8
were proud to be part of the event.
“We have an elective culinary program
for grades 6-8,” said Racheal Savela,
culinary teacher at Northport. “Our
students take pride in their achieve-
ment and it exposes them to the joy of
giving to the community.”

“This is one of my favorite events of
the year,” said Diane Hobley-Burney,
chief of police in Fort Pierce. “I’ve
been coming for at least a decade and
not only is the food fantastic, but the
cause is wonderful. The Big Brothers
Big Sisters organization gives hope to
those who don’t have any. Our police
department supports this organization
any way we can.”

The event was nearly cancelled this
year because, as of January, a venue
had not been secured. That’s when
Treasure Coast Lexus stepped up and
offered to host it on their property.

“Lexus is very involved in the com-
munity and we are thrilled to help
in such a worthy cause,” said Gary
Mariarossi, general manager. “We enjoy
seeing all of the guests out here helping
out those less fortunate.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters has been
changing perspectives and lives for
more than 100 years. Their belief is that
every child has potential and the ability
to succeed, but some need a little more
help than others. As the nation’s largest
donor and volunteer supported men-
toring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters
makes meaningful matches between
adult volunteers (Bigs) and children

ANOTHER UNUSUAL SUIT ESTABLISHMENT WEST NORTH EAST

for North, who jumped to five no-trump, which was the Grand Slam Force, asking South to The Bidding:

three diamond ruffs in the dummy. However, the bad heart break is fatal. 4 Hearts Pass 5 NT Pass LEAD:
7 Spades Pass Pass Pass 3 Spades
It is better to play for five spades, three hearts, three clubs and two diamond ruffs. Declarer
should draw trumps and cash the heart ace. (Starting with the heart king is fatal if West has
all four hearts, unlikely though that may be.) If both opponents follow, South plays a heart to
the king, discards his remaining hearts on the top clubs and ruffs a heart.

Here, when West discards, declarer also plays a heart to the king and pitches his last three
hearts, but then he leads the heart jack for a ruffing finesse through East’s queen to establish
a third winner in the suit.
