| Local Children's Illustrator and Author Peter Catalanotto Wows Families at Fred Beans Family of Dealerships' Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day® | |
|
It isn't easy to keep close to 100 youngsters and their adults engaged
and entertained for nearly an hour. But Peter Catalanotto,
award-winning local children's author and illustrator, did it easily.
He spoke enthusiastically about his work as a professional artist and
writer, about creating art-or anything you feel passionate about-and
how he gets his ideas. The program was part of Take Our Daughters And Sons to Work Day® at Fred Beans Family of Dealerships in Doylestown, held April 26. For the tenth year, the Beans family invited the youngsters who came to work with their adults to come over to the Ford store for a catered lunch and crafts. This year, the event included the presentation and one of Catalanotto's books, inscribed by the author. |  |

 Hailey Brown, 9, of Lansdale with her dad, Matt Brown, IT administrator | Catalanotto has written and illustrated such beloved children's books as Dylan's Day Out, Mr. Mumble, Christmas Always and Matthew's ABC. A popular presenter for school programs, he passionately encourages young people to think of themselves as artists, even if they aren't grown up and aren't getting paid for their work. "If you draw, you are an artist now." |
 Artist Tricia Shepard, 5, of Doylestown, is the daughter of Jim Shepard, Saturn parts manager. | |
|
He told them to use the two words writers love: "what" and "if." "What
if" something in your life happened a little differently? How could you
use that to make a story more interesting for others? | |
 Jim Duncan, Fred Beans Parts Warehouse, of Doylestown and his 11-year-old twins, Nick and Jake | "Try new things, new ideas, new techniques," he urged his listeners. Catalanotto takes many of his stories and beautiful watercolor illustrations from his own life, tapping memories from the time he was little and observations of his interaction with his own daughter over her lifetime. |
| About Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work Day: Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day program was founded by the Ms. Foundation for Women to create an opportunity for girls and boys to share and communicate their expectations for the future.

Fred Beans Mitsubishi Relocates!!!

Fred Beans Mitsubishi Dealership Relocates
Renovations to New Home Begin in February
Fred Beans, president of Fred Beans Family of Dealerships, announces that the auto group's Mitsubishi Motors franchise has moved from its original site on Route 313 in Plumstead Township "across the block" to North Easton and Sawmill roads. It was installed December 4 in the company's Ford Lincoln Mercury facility, which is scheduled to undergo a significant upgrade and expansion beginning this winter.
The organization's June 2006 purchase of the former Thompson Nissan franchise-now Fred Beans Nissan of Doylestown-initiated a series of moves along the local "auto dealership corridor" that extends from the Cross Keys intersection of Swamp and North Easton roads (Routes 313 and 611). When Nissan moved across the street to the Fred Beans Mitsubishi Suzuki facility, Suzuki joined Fred Beans Dodge Chrysler Jeep Subaru on North Easton Road and Autorent of Doylestown established new quarters alongside Fred Beans Saturn of Doylestown.
"We want to give the Mitsubishi make good visibility while also providing a place where customers can be comfortable while waiting for their vehicles to be serviced," says Fred Beans, president of the Doylestown-based company that has held the franchise since 1991. "Bringing the franchise here to our 'flagship' store is a sound choice. In both looks and quality, the new Mitsubishi models complement the domestic offerings of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury. And with the planned upgrades, this will be one of the finest-looking, best-appointed stores in our organization."
Mitsubishi Motors has been receiving increasingly strong reviews for fuel economy, looks, value and safety. Chris Miller, newly appointed Fred Beans Mitsubishi sales manager, points to the all-new 2007 Outlander SUV model. "With Outlander's under-$21,000 base price, 20/27mpg, 100,000-mile warranty and highly regarded sporty driving experience, we expect it to interest a lot of people," he says. "It's indicative of the quality Mitsubishi offers, and I'm pleased to be heading up the franchise here at Fred Beans."
All Mitsubishi sales and service will be conducted from the 864 North Easton Road facility; the phone number remains the same: 215.340.7950.

Preview the 2007 MKZ
The
new Lincoln MKZ for 2007 is not a Zephyr. Oh, sure, it has a lot in
common with the 2006 Zephyr-that "Z" is a dead give-away-but slip
inside. What you see there and what you experience as you drive away
will settle it once and for all. The Lincoln MKZ is a mid-size luxury
car that replaces the Zephyr. Along with a modified waterfall grill and
other changes, Lincoln increased the Zephyr's engine size and power
output, remade the interior with a lot more flash and substance, added
an intelligent AWD option and gave it a new name. And for prices
starting at
$29,890 MSRP, you can get into Lincoln luxury, power and great handling without breaking the bank.
Handles well, feels great!
The MKZ, with standard 6-speed automatic transmission, features a more efficient 3.5-liter Duratec V6 that provides 263hp and 249-foot-pounds of torque. The suspension is independent all around with a short/long arm (SLA) design in front and multilink setup with coilover shock absorbers in the rear. Okay, that's the business end of this Lincoln. But as a therapist might say, "How do you feel about it?" Well, we feel very good about the MKZ. "It's a great car, a good combination of sport and luxury that really performs," says Kurt Ruffing, sales manager at Fred Beans. "It handles beautifully, has great acceleration, and its interior won design awards-it's really beautiful."
Beauty and comfort
Outside, the MKZ is classic Lincoln, with distinctive styling that's refined for a fresh new audience. Inside, its nimble handling and comfort features make short work of long journeys and tedious commutes. On all your jaunts, the minutes spent enjoying MKZ's quiet, relaxing ride pass almost too quickly between your door and your destination. How so? Listen to this: the optional 600-watt THX® sound system with 14 speakers, perfect for the MKZ's quiet interior. Available MP3 audio input jack and factory-installed SIRIUS satellite radio. Available DVD-based navigation system with a sharp 6.5-inch screen and text-to-speech technology. Surround yourself with this: white electro-luminescent and LED lighting. Heated and cooled seats. Ebony, figured maple or satin nickel trim. Real leather. A spacious cabin that allows three feet of legroom in the back, plus the largest trunk in its class. If you're ready to break into classic Lincoln luxury and all that comes with it, you owe it to yourself to check out the MKZ.

Through
January 2, Lincoln is offering the 2007 MKZ as a $397-a-month "sign and
drive": that's no security, no down, no first payment!
