ORMOND BEACH – The 3rd annual Spring Cocktail Party and Silent Auction, a benefit for the Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter, will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, March 19 at the Ormond Lakes Clubhouse on Ormond Lakes Boulevard.
The event will feature cocktails, savory appetizers and tempting desserts on the lake view deck. But, the highlight will be a silent auction of artwork, unique gifts and other items donated by local businesses and individuals, according to newly-elected president Julie Beard.
“We’re very excited to host this event again this year,” Beard said. “We have lots of interesting items that will be on display for those planning to bid on a great item while they help support animal welfare.”
Beard said the event is a large part of the group’s annual fundraising efforts to purchase land to build the Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter and Spay/Neuter Hospital.
The 501C(3) non-profit agency organized in 2007 to help find homes for animals in Volusia and Flagler counties and places dogs and cats in foster homes until they are adopted or until their “state-of-the-art-with-heart” shelter is built.
The agency’s short-term plan is to obtain land in Volusia County and construct a facility to help decrease local government’s cost to house or euthanize unwanted animals.
Other goals are to establish an aggressive spay/neuter program, help animals stay at home to prevent the need for housing, and provide superior care and quality of life for animals.
Tickets for the event are $25 per person and all proceeds will be designated for the group’s Property Acquisition Fund. Reservations can be made by calling Judy Thompson at 386-252-1050.

Ormond Beach Outback Fundraiser Raises More Than $1,300 for Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter
ORMOND BEACH – More than 200 animal lovers attended a recent luncheon at the Ormond Beach Outback Restaurant and raised some $1,300 that will be used to build a “state-of-the-art-with-a-heart” facility for the Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter Inc.
“We couldn’t believe that the restaurant was packed at both sittings,” said Amy Wade-Carotenuto, the animal group’s founder and executive director.
In addition to Rescued Hearts’ members and volunteers, Wade-Carotenuto said many others from throughout Volusia and Flagler counties attended the June 12 luncheon.
“We made lots of new friends and we even signed up a few new members who wanted to help our cause,” she added.
Some of those who showed up got into the spirit by donning fuzzy rabbit or dog ears, or bringing along stuffed snakes and monkeys.
Two lucky diners took home floral arrangements featuring a dog made of white carnations that was donated by The flower Market in Ormond Beach and raffled off by Rescued Hearts.
Because the event was so successful, Wade-Carotenuto said she and restaurant owner Jason Luj have scheduled a second fund-raising luncheon for Nov. 13 at his Granada Boulevard location.
“The management and staff did a wonderful job hosting and we’re really looking forward to working with them again,” she said.
Rescued Hearts is a 501C(3) non-profit agency that organized in 2007 with a goal of helping animals in Volusia and Flagler counties.
Wade-Carotenuto said the group’s goal is to purchase land in west Volusia to build an animal shelter and spay/neuter hospital that will “never turn away any animal.”

Auction and Cocktail Party to Benefit Volusia/Flagler Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter, Saturday March 20
ORMOND BEACH – A silent auction and cocktail party to raise funds for a local animal rescue group will be held Saturday March 20 in Ormond Beach.
The 2nd annual Spring Cocktail Party and Silent Auction – a benefit for the future Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter Inc. – will be from 6 to 9 p.m. at the home of members Jerry and Denise Siennicki in The Trails, according to Amy Wade-Carotenuto, the group’s founder and executive director.
“We’re very excited that the Siennickis are hosting this event for us,” Wade-Carotenuto said.
“This will help us so much in our efforts to reach our goal for 2010 of finding and buying the land to build the Rescued Hearts Animal Shelter.”
Rescued Hearts, a 501C(3) non-profit agency that organized in 2007 to help find homes for displaced or neglected animals in Volusia and Flagler counties, places dogs and cats in foster homes until they are adopted or until their “state-of-the-art-with-heart” shelter is built, she said.
The agency’s short-term goal is to obtain land in the west Volusia area and construct a facility to help decrease local government’s cost to house unwanted animals.
“This kind of thing is usually started by people who have money. Unfortunately, we’re not independently wealthy but experienced and hopeful,” Carotenuto said.
The group’s other aims are at establishing an aggressive spay/neuter program, helping animals stay at home to prevent the need for surrendering them, community involvement, and providing superior care and quality of life for animals.
Those attending Saturday’s benefit can partake of scrumptious foods created by award-winning chef Kevin Moore of Moore Fine Foods, and cocktails from a deck overlooking the Tomoka River.
A highlight of the evening will be a silent auction of artwork and gifts, including Disney World tickets, and a framed, limited-edition lithograph by Thomas Kinkade.
Tickets are $25 per person and all proceeds will be designated for the group’s Property Acquisition Fund. Reservations for the event can be made by calling Judy Thompson at 386-252-1050. For details on Rescued Hearts visit www.rescuedheartsanimalshelter.com.

ICI Homes’ Energy-Efficient Emerald Model Home at Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club Wins Coveted Laurel Award
ICI Homes’ Energy-Efficient Emerald Model Home at Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club Wins Coveted Laurel Award
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA) in Jacksonville looked south this year to bestow its coveted Laurel Award, presented by the NEFBA’s Sales and Marketing Council (SMC) for the best examples of new home marketing and merchandising.
Rosemary Messina, vice president of sales and marketing at ICI Homes in Daytona Beach, said the award-winning 4,900 square foot Emerald model home at Plantation Bay Golf & Country Club in Ormond Beach---ranked as one of the most energy efficient homes in Florida---won the SMC’s Laurel Award this year for Best Interior Merchandising in a Detached Home priced at more than $1 million.
The Emerald model home is ICI Homes’ most award-winning model home and the home builder’s most popular visitor destination, Messina said.
Designed and built to ICI Homes’ rigorous EFACTOR standards for energy efficiency and environmental quality, the Emerald model home has been lauded by environmentalists, builders and planners and has logged more than 13,000 model home visits over the past year---a record for ICI Homes.
Sisler Johnston Interior Design of Jacksonville submitted the Emerald model home for consideration in this year’s Laurel Awards, Messina said. Sisler Johnston designed the interiors and merchandising theme in the two-story, three bedroom luxury home.
“It is very unusual for a home builders association to present an award outside its market area,” Messina said. “But then again, the Emerald model home is a very unusual luxury home. We are delighted at the recognition,” she said.
