Things to do in Florida April 29, 30, - May 1, 2011

As you're looking for things to do in Florida April 29, 30, - May 1, 2011 you may notice one event that occurs only in the Sunshine State. It's of course the launch of the space shuttle and if all goes well, the Endeavour will be leaving the launch pad Friday at 3:47pm. The launch will be especially meaningful for the commander of the Endeavour, Mark Kelly with the recovery of his wife, Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords a triumph even before the mission begins. Delving a little deeper into this weeks list of things to do in Florida April 29, 30, - May 1, 2011 it's encouraging to see a number of events centered around helping others. Whether through education or financial aid, it should be clear by now that extending a hand to those in need can no longer be restricted solely to our own little corner of the world and organizations like Generational Thinkers International in Ghana recently posted on Florahome USA or events like the Church of the Palms' Stone Soup Sunday to be held May 1st in Delray Beach FL remind us all no matter where we live, we all need to work together because are not so different when it comes to the heart. Please remember though, charity need not be a 'Martyr Mambo'. With National Dance Week running from April 22nd to May 1st, feel free to fox trot, tango or samba like Kendra Wilkinson did on Dancing with the Stars last night. Poor Len Goodman was in a sweat. And oh yes, May 5th is our National Day of Prayer Of all the things to do in Florida April 29, 30, - May 1, 2011 or anytime thereafter, nothing could be more important than that. Ya'll have a good one.
