Tribune wishes TransMedia ‘bonne chance’ at its new Paris venue

By: Douglas Heizer

We here at the Tribune are wishing “good luck” to Tom Madden and our friends at the PR firm, TransMedia Group, which has just opened an office in Paris and has signed up its first overseas client.

TransMedia Group said it will publicize to U.S. businesses the unique capabilities of Marc Fredericksen and his Office de Relations d’Affaires for arranging high-level conferences and networking opportunities with cultural, political and economic leaders of France.

“”We’re honored to represent one of the premiere event producers and business networking firms in Paris where we recently opened an office to serve our growing international clientele,” said TransMedia’s CEO Tom Madden.

TransMedia said it will generate media exposure for the illustrious lecture series Fredericksen has created in Paris called the Club des Cordelieres, a distinguished non-profit club he founded and hosts.
The prestigious private club comprises business leaders from throughout France dedicated to the advancement of professional careers and philanthropic activities.

“We intend to make known that through the club’s largess, hundreds of scholarships have been awarded to disadvantaged children, as well as to students at the first network of Jewish schools in France.”

Among guests at a recent event were such eminent personalities as President of France Nicolas Sarkozy; Christine Lagarde, former Economic Minister and now Managing Director of International Monetary Fund; Arnaud Lagardere, President of Lagardere Group; Jacques Seguela, Vice President, Director General of Havas Advertising; French Journalist Anne Sinclair; Samuel Pisar, International Lawyer and writer; Pierre Moscovici, former Minister of European Affairs; Bertrand Delanoe, Mayor of Paris; Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister; Alain Minc, writer, and Francois Zimeray, Ambassador of France for Human Rights who recently spoke about revolts occurring worldwide.

Nights with Yaacov and Carol

This past week, you could have taken in a couple of events featuring famed Boca artist and sculptor Yaacov Heller and singer-songwriter Carol Connors.

Carol hosted a dinner at the Deer Creek Country Club in Deerfield Beach about a week ago. She talked about her planned July 4 dive (yes, that’s like in SCUBA) off Key West to pass the torch—while dressed as the Statue of Liberty – and wish the Wounded Warriors well. (The dinner was also a benefit for the veterans group.)

At the event, Carol was fresh from her appearance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., where she conducted a 108-piece orchestra in the performance of the theme from the movie, “Rocky,” which Carol co-wrote.

A few days later, on July 3, Carol was in Boca, at Yaacov’s Gallery 22 to entertain a crowd along with Brett Loewenstern, Boca’s participant and finalist in the 2011 season of American Idol. Operatic singer Margo Joy was also there.

Yaacov presented Carol with a portrait of her with Brett. It was a wonderful event, and also benefited the Wounded Warriors.

Nice going, Boca Medical Supply

It’s good to see Boca Medical Supply doing so well. Whatever they are doing to keep business flourishing in this economy should be tried by all others.

Boca Medical Supply has one of the largest elections of medical equipment and products. As a state-licensed facility, it has built a reputation of being the one-stop shop for medical supplies. It has locations in East Boca and West Boca.

If you ever need medical supplies, this is the place to go.
