Carleton Kendrick Lecture: What Motivates Us?
What best motivates us? To succeed in all aspects of life, to do “the right thing?” – personally, professionally, in academics, relationships, parenting? I’ll focus on both adults’ and children’s motivations. Cash and material rewards, role models, praise, gold stars, bribes…? What most motivated you as a child…now?

Southgate Summer Concert Series ”Dan Gabel & the Abletones”
Next up in our summer concert season is the fabulous Abletones! Dan and The Abletones have been part of the Southgate family since their inception. This 17-piece band was ‘born’ in 2003 when bandleader Dan Gabel made a pledge to ‘keep alive the sights and sounds of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s while using new concepts and ideas’. Don’t miss this ‘revamped’ version of the legendary tunes we all loved from the “Sentimental Gentleman of Swing” keeping the classic big band era alive and well in Shrewsbury!
