Atlantic Ave Magazine September 2019

As crazy as it sounds, New Year’s Eve and the fretting of
New Year’s goals is on the horizon. If you’ve got your
goals all in order, that’s great for you. If you fell a little
short of the “I want to be my own boss/I want to find a job I
actually like/I want to be more challenged by
my job by the end of the year” there’s
still time to get on track. September
is Update Your Resume Month
and is a great time to update
the Word doc with your accomplishments
and goals so you’re
ready when opportunity strikes.
If you’re a little bogged down
with the whole idea of change, the
good people at the Delray Beach
Public Library have you covered.
They’re offering an Empowerment
Zone on Thursday, September 5 from 1
to 4:30pm where they provide assistance
with resumes, job applications, online
government services and online learning.
Even if you just polish your job
hunt skills, or talk to the course leaders
about where you’d like to get to professionally
and the steps to get there, it’s a great
opportunity to take the first leap for happiness.
Hey, rent a book while you’re there, too, and get
in one more good read before the end of the year!
The Delray Beach Public Library is located at 100
W. Atlantic Ave. Visit www.delraylibrary.org or
call (561) 266-0194 for more information.
If your desire is Chopin but your
level is Chopsticks, it’s best to
leave the keys to the professionals.
September is National Piano
Month and, lucky for us, there’s a
spot in Delray where you can enjoy
fine piano music in a great environment
with plenty of people watching
(may or may not be correlated
with martini consumption). Orson
Whitfield jams out on the piano every
Friday and Saturday nights from
8:30pm to 12:30am at the Atlantic Grille and you’re invited
to sit back, relax and enjoy the tunes, or cut the rug in your
I-should-wear-these-more-often dancing shoes. If you have
time before the music starts, take advantage of the Grille’s
amazing happy hour with $4 house wines, draft beer and well
cocktails, $6 Svedka martinis and reduced-priced appetizers.
There’s plenty of room at the bar where you can unwind but
still see the dance stage, or grab a high top table and make
some new friends with the locals. It’ll be an enjoyable night
with jazz, classics and recent hits, and you can even finish it
off by walking to the beach and cooling off your dancing shoes
in the ocean. The Atlantic Grille is located inside The Seagate
Hotel, 1000 E. Atlantic Ave. Visit www.theatlanticgrille.com or
call (561) 665-4900 for more information.
