The Fresh Market Coming Build-To-Suit And Major Renovation Underway At The Shops At Fisherman’s Wharf Santa’s Arrival Dance Party Heats Up The Holidays At The Gardens Mall The Gardens Mall Grand Court was rocking on Friday, Nov. 15 when Santa and his dancing entourage made their official grand entrance at Santa’s Arrival Dance Party. Five hundred excited tots and their equally bedazzled parents welcomed the worldfamous toymaker and his merry elves, plus a glittering entourage of jumping reindeer, snowflake stilt walkers, comedians, jugglers, and a crystal-festooned ice princess. DJ Renee got the crowd jumping as Santa arrived to welcome his fans who were only too thrilled to meet and mingle with their favorite holiday hero. More than 350 unwrapped gifts were collected for the Salvation Army Annual Toy Drive. Missed your close-up with Kriss Kringle? Don’t fret. Santa will be available to take treasurable photos in his Enchanted Garden during regular mall hours through Dec. 24.

Indiantown Road at Intracoastal Pointe Drive in Jupiter. Now under renovation, the existing 5.5-acre shopping plaza will soon resemble a European village with its pedestrian-friendly setting and a choice selection of new retailers. The Fresh Market itself will feature its signature produce department, including a large selection of organic produce as well as items that are sourced locally. In addition, The Fresh Market will provide a full service meat and seafood department, European-style deli, in-store bakery and unique grocery, bulk, coffee, candy and floral departments. Elion Partners acquired the property in August. The multimillion-dollar renovation includes the construction of a new 20,900-square-foot building for The Fresh Market and renovations of the two existing buildings, as well as significant sidewalk improvements and new parking. During the remodeling, the plaza’s existing retailers remain open for business. The Fresh Market is expected to open in the summer of 2014. Michael Hotte, with Echion, has been brought on to assist with development. Atlantic Retail Properties is handling the retail leasing. Transwestern is the property management team. Tom Godino of Atlantic Retail Properties noted, “Elion Partners had the foresight to reposition this property with The Fresh Market and new national brand retailers to create long-term value.” Prime Sites Inc. represented The Fresh Market and worked closely with Elion Partners to achieve their objective of penetrating this particular market. Monette Klein O’Grady, of Prime Sites Inc., stated, “Prime Sites Inc. is pleased to have met our client’s site goals in keeping with our trademark, Connecting great brands with great locations.® Having had the opportunity to connect Elion Partners with this property to purchase, and representing The Fresh Market in this new lease environment was a win-win for all parties.” “This was a true collaborative effort with Prime Sites,” added Shlomo Khoudari, a principal of Elion Partners. “We assembled the right team to realize our vision of repositioning the property and ultimately creating value for tenants and the community. With a brand as prestigious as The Fresh Market serving as anchor tenant, the plaza will yield an increase in activity as well as retailer interest, resulting in new high-quality tenants over the long term.” Shlomo Khoudari, managing partner, Elion Partners; Ken Towery, south zone operations vice president, The Fresh Market; Lori Bonino, assistant town manager, Town of Jupiter; Kate Moretto, community relations manager, Town of Jupiter Kinan Husainy, Kimley-Horn & Associates; Rob Hidenrick, JRaymond Construction; Brian Giddens, JRaymond Construction; and Benjamin Dotali, Gentilei-GlasHolloway-O’Mahoney & Associates Jonathan Flah; Noel Martinez, Northern Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce Guests view the renderings at The Shops at Fisherman’s Wharf in front of construction site.

Page 4, North Palm Beach Heights Place Of Hope Announces 2014 Hope Bash ‘Bright Nights: Celebrating The Colors Of Hope’ Co-Chairs Sue Ende And Erin Rossitto And Honorary Co-Chairs Nicole Henry And Elin Nordegren Plan An Elegant Evening Benefiting Foster Children Bright colors and brighter spirits will create an electric atmosphere for the 2014 Hope Bash, as organizers plan an evening of elegant fun to benefit the foster children, young mothers and emancipated youth under the care of Place of Hope (POH). Hope Bash Co-chairs Sue Ende and Erin Rossitto of Palm Beach Gardens are leading a collaborative committee to create “Bright Nights: Celebrating the Colors of Hope,” planned for Feb. 21, 2014, at PGA National Resort & Spa. Co-chairs of the 2013 Hope Bash Nicole Henry and Elin Nordegren of Jupiter will be returning as honorary co-chairs. The new co-chairs bring a long history of enthusiasm and support to the Hope Bash. Rossitto became involved with Place of Hope in 2004, after moving from Connecticut; she met Gina Fazio, clinical director at POH, in a Gymboree class for their children. Rossitto introduced Ende to POH about six years ago. Both women have served as volunteers, committee members and fundraisers for the organization before leading the signature gala. “I am passionate about the work Place of Hope does,” said Rossitto. “The Bash is an excellent vehicle for raising awareness about Place of Hope’s many programs and a fun and inspiring way to raise needed funds to ensure the sustainability of the organization.” Rossitto owns Muses & Visionaries (http:// musescoworking.com), a shared workspace space for female entrepreneurs and professionals in downtown West Palm Beach. She also launched a women’s magazine this fall, called M&V Magazine (http://magazinemv.com). She said the content will be regionally relevant with a global view and perspective. In addition to Ende’s work with Place of Hope, she formed an organization of women who host “Parties with a Purpose,” which raise both funds and awareness for local charities. “We have hosted these parties in support of many local causes, such as Place of Hope, Villages of Hope, Joann’s Cottage, Hospice of Volusia, the Richard David Kann Melanoma Foundation, Driving Miss Crazy, as well as others,” she said. “I have also volunteered for organizations such as Adopt-A-Family, Habitat for Humanity, Community Answers out of Greenwich, Conn.; and, having a weak spot for animals, I have also been involved with Big Dog Ranch Rescue.” Proceeds from the 2014 Hope Bash fundraiser will benefit the programs and operations of Place of Hope. With campuses in Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Place of Hope is a faith-based, state-licensed child welfare organization that provides family-style foster care (emergency and long-term); family outreach and intervention; maternity care; safety for domestic minor sexually trafficked victims; transitional housing and support services; adoption and foster care recruitment and support; hope and healing opportunities for children and families who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect.

North Palm Beach Heights, Page 5 Single Scene Column© The Love Movement By Kelly Leary©, M.S., Co-Founder of Precision Dating Happy New Year! 2013 just flew by didn’t it? I’ve noticed the older I get, the faster the years go. All the more reason to make the most of every hour, day, encounter. Time really does fly when you are having fun and having fun is really a “choice!” Living with love at your center is a choice. Everyday we can choose love or its nemesis. In case you didn’t know: the opposite of love is “hate.” The more you love, the more you will be loved and feel love, and hence a good way to begin the year! Commit to a year of love. Create and choose an environment that promotes love (not the opposite). Make your home and office a more loving place and good moments will follow suit. Reach out and love more. Leave your comfort zone with love on your mind. Use love as your main motivator in all that you do and you cannot go wrong. By deciding to love more in 2014, you will automatically cover all your new year’s resolutions! “Greet each day with love in your heart!” There are many reasons to join The Love Movement this year such as: Love is good for your health. Countless studies show that married people live longer than unmarried people. Loneliness is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s, suicide, and many other ailments. Love is hope and hope is a cure. Therefore love is the best natural medicine that exists. Love is good for weight loss. I have seen ladies and men that join with the infamous “10 pounds” on their minds. Within weeks of joining, the weight seems to just fall off. Why? Mainly because of the renewed faith and connectedness to others. Renewed faith in love is remarkable. Love can ward of depression. The less love you have, the more depressed you are likely to feel. Love is a better antidepressant than most. What a plan – love more and feel better. Yes, there are people that need real medication and that is OK … but the ultimate power lies in love. Love is good for the E-C-O-N-O-M-Y. If you are feeling love at home ... have a hot date and/or a romantic getaway planned … don’t you think you will perform better on the job? YES, you will! You will be like a magnet for good energy … resulting in more sales, a raise, or even a promotion ... whatever your goals may be … they will come easier. May you all have love and all its benefits this year. Like the Beatles song says: “All you need is love…love is all you need.” Roll up all your typical New Year’s Resolutions, put them in a bag, and call it LOVE. Your life and love is in your hands … let’s make it an amazing year ... TOGETHER!! Happy, Happy New Year to You!

Communities to play a part in achieving high quality health it is our hope to raise the bar and encourage other local care for themselves, families and friends,” added Steve Weinberg, co-chair. “Both the north and south courses were full; which made the day even more meaningful.
