award-winning nonprofit Naples Zoo and its mission to educate
families and conserve wildlife here and around the world.

34 | NAPLES WINTER WINE FESTIVAL

Imagine having the chance to walk the Emmys red carpet, attend the
awards ceremony as a VIP, and join the stars at the glamorous Governors
Ball; jet set to India for a 10-day trip complete with custom-made saris
and jodhpurs – personally fit by the tailor to the royal families – and
dinner at the City Palace with a member of the royal family; and enjoy
a private dinner with Chris Noth AKA Mr. Big of “Sex and the City”
fame. These experiences and more will be up for auction at the 17th
annual Naples Winter Wine Festival, scheduled for January 27-29, 2017
at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Florida.

86 | THE EVOLUTION
OF COMMUNICATION

Born many years ago before iPhones, tablets, e-mail, Kindle, and
numerous apps, one had to be proficient in the art of handwriting.
Script writing, known as writing cursive was an important element
in one’s education. Classes in penmanship were part of your
elementary school curriculum. Hours were dedicated to completing
your mastery of the written word. Your homework, projects, and
papers were always written in cursive. People communicated by
written letters, cards or notes all elegantly written in their best
cursive style. Writers developed their own signature style that was
unique and gave them a sense of personal pride in writing and
signing communication.
