APRIL: The Month of New Beginnings

By. Xiomara Olaya

The first day of Spring began on March 20th which brought forth a new energetic shift to our lives. Spring is a season of new beginnings. This month, there are numerous new and exciting things happening at Collective Ventures so be sure to stop by to see what the buzz is all about!

Our “1 Year Anniversary” is coming up soon! Join us on April 20th for games, raffles, live entertainment and great coffee. Did you know that April is National Humor and Poetry month? Be sure to check out “Spill the Beans Comedy Show” on April 5th. Carl Rimi will be headlining the show. He is a nationally touring comedian and actor who has been in a few feature films and tv shows. Whether Carl Rimi is on the Stage or the big screen, he is an unbelievable Phenomenon to watch.

Next we have RAW Storytelling that’s coming back with a new theme: WTF Just Happened??! On April 11th. Come listen to local storytellers share their most bizarre and honest stories while you enjoy a delicious coffee or a glass of wine. The last few months were SOLD OUT so be sure to get your free tickets before the show!  The New City Players are presenting a free play reading of Harvey Firstein’s “Widows and Children First at The Green Room on April 9th.

This year we made lots of positive changes for the earth like getting rid of straws, using reusable cups and using the coffee compost to grow our own fruits! In honor of Earth Day, we will be attending a beach sweep at Fort Lauderdale Beach on April 13th, followed by an friendly volleyball tournament! Giving back is extremely important to us so this month we will be hosting the Carpe Diem Music Benefit on April 6th to help young adults who are struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. All funds will be going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation and the DanceSafe Foundation. We are excited to announce our brand new menu with many healthy choices and new drinks!. Choose between breakfast sandwiches, wraps,  paninis and leafy greens to fuel and energize your days. Stop in to try our featured quiche of the month made with zucchini, roasted red tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Looking for plant-based snacks? You will love Pamela Wasabi’s delicious Sacred Coffee Blondie made with cold brew coffee and other delicious raw ingredients. The Matcha Madness, our barista-inspired drink of the month will have you buzzing through the month.
