“Elyse Tapper Cardon began her professional dance career with Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia, in the early 90’s and soon discovered her secondary passion: the art of teaching and coaching. This led her to open Axiom-The Pilates Center of Virginia in Chambord Commons, one of the first Pilates studios in Hampton Roads. She soon discovered a new talent and love for lifestyle photography, and added her business, Sweet People Photography®, to her growing list of achievements.

Elyse Tapper Cardon has returned full circle to the Richmond Ballet, serving as Chair of the Richmond Ballet Hampton Roads Advisory Council, as well as a dance repetiteur for the Norfolk cast of The Nutcracker.”

The Mulrain family arrives in style.

A homecoming parade came to Chesapeake on Saturday, March 30, 2019 but not the kind you might expect.

That’s because members of the Porsche Club of America – First Settlers Region drove 20 Porsche sport cars up and down Marcus Street in the Crestwood area of Chesapeake to celebrate the Mulrain family as new homeowners through Habitat for Humanity of South Hampton Roads.

Once the Rubin Communications Group team learned about the Porsche Club’s involvement, we knew we had a golden media opportunity. We put out the word to our contacts at the TV news stations and newspapers and the response was immediate.

We landed coverage from the local newspaper and received mentions seven times on local TV news:

  • The Virginian-Pilot
  • WTKR NewsChannel 3 (CBS affiliate) and its sister station WGNT
  • WVEC Channel 13 (ABC affiliate)

The keynote speaker at the Access College Foundation’s scholarship awards luncheon cooked up a recipe for greatness for the class of 2019 recipients.

Lavell White, a motivational speaker who graduated high school from Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk before getting degrees from both James Madison University and Regent University, told the more than 600 people in attendance, including Access’ 31st graduating class of scholars, at the Virginia Beach Convention Center that greatness comes at a cost, and it has to marinate.
