Five time Emmy-award winning choreographer, producer, director, dancer and actress, Anita Mann, will participate in the 3rd Annual Woman to Woman Conference: Living Your Authentic Life on Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
Mann will be one of four featured speakers at the conference, presented by The JVS Women’s Leadership Network (WLN), a donor support group committed to sustaining and enhancing JVS' programs that serve women in need.
“Each year we invite highly accomplished professional women who can inspire others by sharing their trials and tribulations along the pathway to their success.” said Debbie Powell, WLN co-founder and Conference co-chair.
“With the tremendous increase in audience awareness and passion for dance and the work of choreographers that has resulted partly from today’s hugely popular TV dance shows,” Powell continued, “I think her story is more relevant today than ever. Competition to break into the industry and sustain a career is tough. Drawing from her own experience, Anita can speak about the challenges, triumphs and inner strength she needed to reach her career milestones and find the personal and professional balance to live her authentic life. We are honored to work with her and know she will be a huge inspiration to our attendees.”
Featured speakers include Mann, along with surgeon and co-founder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center Dr. Kristi Funk, Assistant Chief Airport Police for Homeland Security and Intelligence Ethel L. McGuire and fashion designer and entrepreneur Heather Thomson. Former Miss North Carolina and second runner up to Miss America Kiki Elrod, will be hosting this year’s conference.
The mission of nonprofit JVS Los Angeles is to help lift people out of poverty and assist them to overcome obstacles to employment with the goal of achieving economic self-sufficiency. The goal of The JVS Women’s Leadership Network (WLN) is to support JVS programs for women in crisis or transition. Each year, the WLN hosts its Annual Woman to Woman Conference to inspire and encourage professional and philanthropic women to become involved and to provide their WLN members and guests with meaningful networking opportunities.

Saturday At The Mob Museum Author Of "Havana Nocturne" T.J. English
On Saturday, Aug. 8, at 1 p.m., The Mob Museum, The National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, will host an Author Talk with T.J. English. English will discuss his New York Times best-selling book, “Havana Nocturne,” and will be on hand to sign books following the presentation.
In “Havana Nocturne,” English tells the compelling backstory behind the world of mobsters such as Meyer Lansky and Charles “Lucky” Luciano, when Cuba was the great hope for the future of American organized crime in the post-Prohibition years.
He will share stories from his book about the relationship and balance of power between the Mob and the corrupt, repressive government of Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. That relationship—with Batista in the Mob’s pocket—launched an unprecedented tourism boom of lavish entertainment and gambling in Havana, English says. The boom ended with Fidel Castro and the uprising of Cuba’s disenfranchised citizens against Batista and his foreign partners.
English, a former taxi driver turned journalist, is the best-selling author of seven nonfiction books, including “Havana Nocturne” and “The Savage City,” both in development for possible television or movie production. He also has written several episodes for television crime dramas and has had articles published in national magazines including Vanity Fair and Esquire. English’s latest book, “Where the Bodies Were Buried: Whitey Bulger and the World that Made Him,” is to be published in September 2015.
This event follows the Museum’s annual Hot Havana Nights celebration, which takes place Thursday, August 6, from 6 to 10 p.m., when guests will enjoy delectable cuisine, the sounds of the nine-piece Cuban-American Jazz band Rumbantela and dances such as the Tango and Conga. Classic casino games including roulette, craps and baccarat will be available, as will tropical cocktails and a cigar bar. Hot Havana Nights is sponsored by Johnson Brothers of Nevada and presented in collaboration with the Cuban Heritage Foundation.
This Author Talk with T.J. English is free with Museum admission and free for members. To make reservations, please call (702) 229-2734 or visit www.TheMobMuseum.org.

“Raiding the Rock Vault” has announced “Gimme Shelter” – a fundraising initiative to support Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA), Las Vegas’ only no-kill shelter for animals who have been abused, neglected, abandoned, or otherwise face homelessness and danger.

Ross [Keyboards] (Lita Ford, Hardline), Hugh McDonald [Bass] (Bon Jovi), Mark Boals [Lead Vocals] (Dokken, Ted Nugent), and vocalist Carol-Lyn Liddle (Masters of Rock).
