Annual Belle Isle Fundraiser Nets $140,000 for Future Island Improvement ProjectsPolish the Jewel Celebrates 10 Years of Passion and Radiance of Detroit’s Island Gem
DETROIT (Oct. 7, 2014) - In mid-September, more than 400 of metro Detroit’s most prominent civic and business leaders spent the afternoon embracing the memories and promise of Detroit’s gleaming island gem at Romancing the Isle, the 10th Anniversary Polish the Jewel Belle Isle Legacy Luncheon. Held at the Belle Isle Casino, the annual Polish the Jewel fundraiser offers an afternoon of networking in support of the Belle Isle Conservancy. This year’s event raised more than $140,000.
“Polish the Jewel punctuates what makes Belle Isle so special, the supporters and volunteers who are so dedicated to the island and all it has to offer,” said Michele Hodges, president of the Belle Isle Conservancy. “So much has happened over the last 10 years of Polish the Jewel events that has breathed new life into the island, and I look forward to seeing the exceptional opportunity that will be uncovered over the next 10 years.”
Commemorating the 10th anniversary event, Hodges recognized Belle Isle Conservancy chair and Polish the Jewel event founder Sarah Earley for her extraordinary dedication to the revitalization of Belle Isle Park.
“Sarah was the primary force behind the very first luncheon a decade ago,” Hodges said. “Not only has she been instrumental in developing the luncheon as a tradition we look forward to each year, but she has also been one of Belle Isle’s greatest supporters throughout its transformation.”
Over the past nine years, Polish the Jewel has raised more than $2.5 million to successfully fund two major construction projects on Belle Isle Park - enhancements to the island’s famed Sunset Point, as well as a historically accurate restoration of the horse stable roof. Proceeds from the 2014 Polish the Jewel will support further improvement projects, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, to ensure the island sparkles for years to come.
Rounding out the afternoon’s activities was a silent auction that raised $19,000 from an assortment of artwork, jewelry, fine wines and more, donated by businesses and retailers across metro Detroit.
Sponsors for the 2014 event included DTE Energy, MASCO Foundation, Sarah and Tony Earley, Franco Public Relations Group, Baker Tilly, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Ford Motor Company Fund, Ruth Roby Glancy, Lear Corporation and St. John Providence Hospital.
steam engines often symbolise a nostalgic world - but despite their romance and beauty they have much to answer for - or should we say men have much to answer for in how they've used it.
These penguins are very cute they live in a purpose built arctic world at Loro Parque. They are such posers and swim along side you as you stand on the conveyor belt and they seem to like having their photos taken too :)

"Summer Romance (Anti-Gravity Love Song)"
I'm home alone tonight.
Full moon illuminates my room, and sends my mind aflight.
I think I was dreaming up some thoughts that were seemingly
possible...with you.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we're alone.
I think I've found a way for you and I to finally fly free.
When we get there, we're gonna fly so far away.
Making sure to laugh; while we experience anti-gravity.
For years, I kept it to myself.
Now potentialities are bound, and living under my shelf.
Simply choose your destination from the diamond canopy,
and we'll be there.
So I call you on the tin can phone.
We rendezvous at a quarter-two, and make sure we're alone.
I think I've found the way for you and I to finally be free
