Message
from Brett
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Another season seems to be flying by here at the Club. With less
than two months to Passover, we’ll soon be wishing many of you
a fond farewell as you head to your summer homes. I’d like to take
a moment to thank management and staff for delivering on our
promise of providing an exceptional Membership experience
this season. We hope you’ve enjoyed participating in the many
events which were held in every venue, from the dining rooms to
the special parties, Golf and Tennis tournaments, the Street Fair,
the holiday weeks during Christmas and President’s Week, the
Broadway Series, Lecture Series, Little Anthony & the Imperials,
and more. Valentine’s Day was especially memorable this year
with the 3 Singing Waiters entertaining us while we celebrated.
We received rave compliments about the food as well.
March has arrived, and we are excited about our first annual ‘Polo Gives Back’ Charity Week. By now you
have seen the flyers, letters, emails, and information in the Buzz regarding all the activities which will occur
at the Club from March 13 – 20. We hope you’ll participate — it’s never too late to sign up for the many
events we have planned. The week starts with a pet parade and culminates with a BBQ on Saturday night.
Proceeds will be donated to AVDA and Forgotten Soldiers Outreach. This will be our week to give back to
the community, so please show your support for these worthwhile causes.
You won’t want to miss our end-of-season party on April 15th where you’ll experience “Bollywood Around
the Pool”. We’re still finalizing plans, so complete details aren’t available at this time, but please keep an eye
out for forthcoming information about a night you’re sure to remember.
Heading into May, we anticipate starting construction of the much-needed renovation of the lower valet.
Not only will this enhance your Member experience as you drop off and pick up your vehicles, but there will
be a dramatic improvement as you walk down the finished breezeway leading to our Family Resort Pool
Complex. It will also improve safety and help with traffic flow getting cars in and out faster. The project is
expected to be completed by early October.
Our international staff will be leaving after Mother’s Day to head north to work for our sister clubs this summer.
We had a great team this year — please be sure to thank them for their hard work and dedication during the
season. With the implementation of the Humm tablet dining survey tool, management has received immediate
feedback on the food quality and service standards you experience at our outlets. To date, we’ve received
over 10,000 responses, of which 95% were positive regarding service, and 92% positive about the food quality,
with an overall 98% Member satisfaction rating. Although not every comment was positive, we followed up
on all of the constructive comments that we received in order to make improvements in our dining venues.
On behalf of the management and staff, we wish you all the best during the next few months and look
forward to seeing you around the Club!
Warmest regards,
Brett Morris,
General Manager / COO

Volunteer Fair
The Polo Club Doing Good
BY LESLEY MARLO
Despite the torrential downpour, an estimated
300 Members turned up at Polo Club’s Volunteer Fair, held January 22nd in the Laurels. As
a steady stream of attendees browsed for their
right fit, representatives from 35 organizations
showcased hundreds of volunteer opportunities, including work with animals, children in
need, seniors and much more. Chair Debbie
May stood beaming proudly at her Polo Club
community as she greeted Member after Member coming through the door.
“There is a lot more need now than last time
we held this event in 2010,” said Roni Brockman
and Nate Miller, Co-Chairs who have served
together on this committee for more than a
decade. As he circulated throughout the room
helping pair volunteers with organizations, he
added, “There are a lot of retired people here
who have all types of life experience to share.”

SPRING 2016 | TRENDS MAGAZINE
Norm Schindler is one such member. New to Polo
Club from Los Angeles, Norm came in looking
for a chance to help veterans directly. “I do a
lot of work with the VA (Veteran’s Association),
and I wanted an opportunity to work face to
face with vets.” Indeed, he found the perfect
match. Veterans Helping Veterans will connect
the former Army Pilot with a vet in need of help.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach also drew an ongoing crowd, as two servicewomen in uniform
shared information about the organization,
which sends letters and care packages to deployed soldiers. “Sometimes a package from
FSO is the only connection to home the soldier
will receive,” shared Sergeant Rivera.
Other charities included several familiar children and family organizations, like the Jewish
Adoption and Family Care Options (JAFCO)
and the Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse
(AVDA). For lesser-known local organizations,
Polo Club’s volunteer fair proved to be an invaluable opportunity to educate and connect
with the community.
“It’s one thing to get a volunteer, but it’s quite
something for a community to make such an
effort to share these opportunities with its
Members,” observed Debbie Ellman, co-founder
of Best Foot Forward Foundation (BFF). “Imagine if every neighborhood did this!”
BFF is the only nonprofit organization in Palm
Beach County dedicated specifically to the educational success of youth who have been abused,
neglected, or abandoned and have entered the
foster care system. Through educational resources, one-on-one support and advisement,
the organization helps kids succeed in school,
increasing graduation rates and decreasing
homelessness common when kids “age-out” of
the foster care system at 18 years old.
While the fair connected volunteers to causes, it
also played matchmaker between some participating organizations. Ellman’s BFF organization
connected with Genesis Community Health, a
non-profit organization that provides healthcare
to anyone who needs it. The organization was
created with special sensitivity to the needs of
economically disadvantaged people of diverse
cultural backgrounds in and around Palm Beach
County. Now, thanks to the Polo Club’s Volunteer
Fair, kids in the Best Foot Forward program
may have access to healthcare through Genesis.
part of you,” she shared. “We live a privileged
life here in Polo Club, but it can’t be cards and
cookies 24/7. We need to reach out and give of
ourselves. If each person just did one thing, think
of what we could do!” Roz looks forward to lending her expertise in art to relative organizations,
while her other half, Joel, will do his part by helping seniors with rides and other tasks.
For more information on how you can get involved, call Debbie May (561-995-8363) or
Nate Miller (561-998-7692). As Nate put it best,
“There’s something here for everyone and no
reason you shouldn’t participate.”

Charity Week
Polo Gives Back
Provides Support to Families and Soldiers
BY LESLEY MARLO
Two charities have been selected as beneficiaries
of the inaugural “Polo Gives Back” Week —
AVDA, Inc. (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse)
and The Forgotten Soldier Outreach. Proceeds
of all participation will go to support the work
of these two great organizations.
AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse), a
Delray Beach-based charity that will celebrate
its 30th year of helping the community in 2016,
operates 24 hour/365 days a year. It offers a
safe place to victims of domestic violence and
their children. Residents are provided food,
clothing, safety planning and assistance in
achieving self–sufficiency.
AVDA’s services include a 24-hour/365-day
confidential hotline; a 63-bed emergency shelter,
where victims and their children can stay for
up to eight weeks; and Casa Vegso Transitional Housing, a 32-bed facility that provides
a stay up to two years for victims and their children. AVDA also offers non-residential services
to adult victims that assist with relocation
8
assistance, legal advocacy and group domestic
violence education. Specific advocacy is offered
to victims of stalking and domestic violence
sexual assault.
The funds that are raised during the “Polo
Gives Back” Week will be matched up to
$50,000 by the Vegso Family Foundation,
which has pledged a matching campaign in
celebration of AVDA’s 30th year of service.
AVDA’s goal is to raise $366,000 to provide a
solid base for its residents’ basic needs.
Learn more about AVDA’s mission at http://
www.avdaonline.org.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach is a Lake Worthbased, grass roots non-profit organization,
that supports our deployed service men and
women and their families serving in the United
States Military with care packages, letters of
encouragement and returning Veterans assistance. They work to increase awareness of the
need to support our service men and women.
Left: Soldiers from Afganistan show their
gratitude. Above and below: Care packges include everything from basic needs,
like deodorant and toothpaste to the
delights of home, like Girl Scout Cookies.
In addition, they offer guidance to returning
Palm Beach County veterans by offering guidance on medical care, housing, job referrals
and assistance in navigating the veteran’s
resources. Forgotten Soldiers Outreach reaches
more than 900 soldiers each month.
Forgotten Soldiers Outreach services include
creating “We Care” packages for the U.S. Armed
Forces, organizing letter-writing campaigns
for deployed soldiers, coordinating quarterly
sponsored packing events to send donated
items to soldiers, and facilitating Bequests,
where people can designate gifts to soldiers
in their wills or as part of their estates.
On March 20, 2016, the Forgotten Soldiers
will hold its Outreach Poker Run, starting and
ending at Moose Lodge 994 in Greenacres.

Jean Mills Honored with Yellow
Tennis Ball Tribute Award
The Delray Beach Open recently recognized
Jean Mills, Polo Club’s Director of Tennis, with its
prestigious YellowTennisBall.com Tribute Award.
The 2016 YellowTennisBall.com Award nominees
consist of individuals and organizations who
have shown a passion and dedication for supporting the growth of tennis and community
outreach in South Florida, and have gone above
and beyond in dedicating their time to the sport. As a winner of the YellowTennisAward.com
award, The Polo Club’s General Manager Brett
Morris was interviewed for the Tennis Channel,
which is viewed in more than 32 million homes,
and Jean will be featured in the February-March
2016 issue of Florida Tennis Magazine.
Jean thanked all of the Polo Tennis staff, Tennis
Advisory Committee, the Polo Members, Polo
staff and the friends and family who voted daily over a 3 month period to nominate her for the
Tribute Award. She also gave a special thanks
to Roz August who organized the dinner and
night of tennis at the Delray Beach Open. Truly,
it was memorable and unforgettable.
Jean was the first Women’s Tennis Coach at the
University of Alabama in 1974 and served as the
Executive Director of the Professional Tennis

International Tennis Resort of Delray Beach,
1980-85, and has been the Director of Tennis
at The Polo Club of Boca Raton for the past
30 years. She has also served as the Florida
Section President from 1988-2000 and was the
first President of the Florida Foundation from
2005-2012. Jean was inducted into the Alabama
and Florida Halls of Fame in 2002, in recognition of her contributions to tennis.

Players of Israel Tennis Centers
Welcomed to Polo For Fundraiser
BY MICHELLE BROWN
ITC Uses Tennis to Change
Lives & Create Opportunity
On February 21st, Polo Club’s tennis culture went
global, as Members welcomed a very special set
of Israeli players to their courts. Young players who are supported by the Israel
Tennis Centers Foundation (ITC) traveled from
their homeland to the United States, as ambassadors of the social service organization that
helps them develop through sportsmanship,
fitness and teamwork.
The players held a special demonstration at
Polo, so Members could learn about ITC, its
work and how they can help. The demonstration was followed by a reception at the home of
Dr. Sandy and Murray Ages, who organized the
events with Dr. Raymond and Linda Schwartz.
28
WHY THE ITC?
Murray Ages was introduced to ITC last year by
Dr. Schwartz, who encouraged him to attend a
similar event. He was moved by the work the ITC
does in serving 20,000 children annually through
14 centers, strategically located in underprivileged neighborhoods throughout Israel. The ITC
accepts children from pre-school to adulthood,
regardless of background or religious faith.
Once a part of the ITC program, each child is
afforded a healthy, structured environment at
one of the centers, where they are taught the
values of cooperation, persistence and tolerance.
More than 250 teachers, coaches and doctors
work through the sport of tennis to reach children
as young as three, including those with developmental disabilities and players who have the
talent to excel on an international stage.
Currently, ITC offers its players 172 all-weather
courts, five indoor courts, five clay courts, eight
fully equipped fitness rooms and 12 classrooms
for studying and recreation. The organization
has groomed ITC champions, including Amos
Mansdorf and Harel Levy.
WHY POLO?
and it features opportunities for ‘special needs’
players,” he said.
“I hope the attendance of Polo Members created an irresistible urge to help this program to
enable these children to advance their social
and psychological development.”
“ITC’s centers are supported primarily by
charitable donations with some subsidies and
government support,” Ages said. “This traveling
exhibition is necessary to sustain the program.
ITC has a lot of support in the U.S. in the Northeastern triangle, and then they travel to Florida
in the winter. They haven’t been to Polo since
2012. By reputation, Polo was one of the best
places in the past for them to raise money.”
Polo has a long history of engagement with ITC,
starting with former Polo Members Sandra and
Dr. Bill Lippy. The Ages and Schwartz families
were proud to resume the relationship.
“This program is intended to attract underprivileged and challenged children to bring them
into a community tennis center, where a few
things happen—it gets them off the streets;
encourages them to continue with school; it
feeds malnourished children; fosters dignity,
self-respect, and motivation; it’s open to all
faiths, orientations and needs—Jewish, Muslim,
Christian—which engenders mutual respect
between the various communities and cultures;

of ITC’s many
accomplished

Chorus on the Courts
Bernie Friedman
Serves Up Color
War Tunes
BY MICHELLE BROWN
When Polo Member Bernie
Friedman choreographs a
production—no matter how
small— it is worthy of applause.
He proved this when his
Color War team performed a
minimally rehearsed rendition
of “Why Must I Be A Teenager
in Love,” as the required cheer,
as part of the friendly tennis
competition. With enthusiasm
and a few simple steps,
Friedman’s team looked like it
was ready for the stage, instead
of the courts.
Bernie Friedman leads his Color War team on the court.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
“One of the female team Members suggested,
‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we did this (step)?’ It
was a simple movement, and it worked. When
you do not have a lot of time and are working
with people who are not used to dancing and
singing, it’s best to keep it simple,” he said.
“In the end, my team garnered the most points
for the best cheer. There is a luncheon after the
match, and I was very flattered that so many
of the players from other teams congratulated
me on the song.”
His quick, on-point direction was a testament
to his career in music and entertainment,
which started when he was 14 years old. Under
the stage name of Barry Roberts, Friedman
has performed at venues all over the country
and some out of the country. His resume includes corporate shows, shows in the Catskills
Mountains and two shows at The White
House. Now, he performs his cabaret show for
audiences throughout southeast Florida and
volunteers his time teaching autistic children
how to play tennis.
COLOR WAR NOT HIS
HARDEST SHOW
“When I got out of college, I worked as a vocal
teacher, so I know how to whip a chorus into
shape,” he said. “As captain of a Color War team,
one of the responsibilities is to write a team
song. I’ve had a knack for writing pretty good
parodies quickly. I know the demographic, so
I thought I’d find a melody that everyone is
going to know. I had the lyrics ready since
mid-summer.”
“When I got out of college, I
worked as a vocal teacher, so
I know how to whip a chorus
into shape.”
Although he hadn’t taught since the 1970s,
Friedman’s instinct for direction was sharp. He
admitted that the Color War performance was
not his toughest gig. No, that would have been
last spring, when he was entered in the 10th
Annual Florida Senior Idol competition (no
connection to the TV show).
“I made it through the Semi-Finals and to the
Final Five, all while I was dealing with a health
issue,” he recalled. “A few weeks after that
competition, I was scheduled to have surgery.”
The show must go on.

Florida Atlantic University Men’s

On Saturday, February 6th, 2016, Polo Tennis Members
had the opportunity to watch an amazing Tennis Exhibition by the Men’s FAU tennis team. They were unbelievable! Our Members had lots of fun watching incredible
points, tactics and shots that the men showed off during
play. We also had the opportunity to include our Members and have them play with the FAU players. Our eight
Member winners (Michele Berman, Les Corwin, Rayner
Dean, Larry Elster, Barry Globerman, Marlene Golden,
David Kauffman, and Francisco Quintero) had a great
time participating with the team and enjoyed every bit of
the exhibition. We had lots of cheers from the spectators.

Transformational
PAINTING
BY LESLEY MARLO
Artist Chris Burlini helps students
find themselves on canvas.
Chris Burlini is a third generation artist and
teacher who studied at the prestigious Florence
Academy of Art in Italy. His work is described as
“pop-surrealism,” an amalgamation of classical
and pop-modern styles influenced by his paternal
lineage of sculptors and the young artist’s early
exposure to art fairs.
The Chicago native spent the past two decades
honing his craft and, lucky for us at Polo Club,
sharing it with others. For eight years, Burlini has
been teaching art to Members through classes
held at Polo Club and in his Boca Raton studio.
What began as a way to connect with the community has become a relationship that the artist
himself describes as “invaluable.”
“We don’t teach at any other communities, but
Polo is special to us. We are like family,” says Chris.
With a mission to awaken and inspire artistic passion in others, what inspires him is the dedication
he sees from his Polo Club students. “No matter
what they are facing, from physical to emotional
struggles, they still find a way to get here,” he
admires, sharing that he has students who started
at age 90 and are still with him eight years later.
Paintings by Chris Burlini
POLOCLUB.NET

“We encourage them to paint
how they see things through
their feelings, not just paint
what is in front of them. This
helps build confidence that
their feelings have merit.”
– CHRIS BURLINI
Many students who are Members exhibit at Polo
Club’s semi-annual Art Show and several have
sold paintings as well. Still, not everyone who
comes to him has aspirations of commercial
success as an artist. For some students painting
is a great portable hobby — something to do
virtually anywhere and a way to capture a moment
or an emotion on canvas.
At a glance, Burlini’s class may look like any art
class, but there is more here than meets the eye.
“We teach from a really different angle than
most teach,” says Chris. “We teach how to get
to know yourself through your paintings. If you
are having a good conversation with your painting, we never judge on appearance or beauty.
Instead, we encourage them to paint how they
see things through their feelings, not just paint
what is in front of them. This helps build confidence that their feelings have merit.”
If it sounds therapeutic, there is reason. For
some students, painting is a way to process
something they have experienced. “The story
behind the painting can make the work remarkable,” he adds. And we are really impressed by
the work that is coming out of Polo Club.”

The Champions League
BY LESLEY MARLO
Service Excellence
is always on the Menu
Last fall, a program was implemented in the
Food & Beverage department to raise the membership experience at Polo Club to an even
higher level of excellence. The Champions
League is an incentive program aimed at enhancing the dining experience for Members in
all restaurants on property.
In the program, employee performance is tracked
every day and employees are rewarded for exceptional performance through direct feedback
from Members. The program begins with paper
and electronic comment cards filled out by
Members. To first qualify to win, the employee
must have been named in 30 or more comment
cards with a 95% or higher rating.
A gift card reward is given to each top performer of the month, and each position in
the dining room has its own prize, including
servers, bussers, food runners and hostesses. According to Food & Beverage Director,
Marius Ilie, things like exceptional service,
knowledge, personality, and doing something
for a Member that is above and beyond the
employee’s job description are some of the most
frequent commendations.
“We believe that investing in employees
shows we care, creates great morale,
motivation, commitment, ownership and
maintains the Service Excellence culture.”
– MARIUS ILIE, FOOD & BEVERAGE DIRECTOR
Since its inception, The Champions
League has generated thousands of
comment cards in both paper and
electronic form through the HUMM
system located in each dining room
at the club. To participate, share
your experience by filling out a
feedback report on HUMM.

Expert Advice from Polo
Club’s Lead Aesthetician,
Marilu Jones
BY LESLEY MARLO
Great skin is not hard to achieve, according to
Marilu Jones, Polo Club’s Lead Aesthetician
who has been in the skincare business for over
20 years and worked at some of the most renown resorts and spas in the world. No matter
your age or ancestry, the basics for skin care
are the same.
CLEAN IT UP
Never go sleep without removing your makeup and cleaning your face. Give your skin the
chance to recuperate just like your body does
while you rest. Buy a package of disposable
cleansing towelettes for those nights you are
just too lazy to turn on the faucet.
72
I SCREEN, YOU SCREEN
Always protect your skin from the sun. Sunscreen has become as essential to skincare
as moisturizer. Even on cloudy days or while
riding in a car, your skin is exposed to damaging UV rays, which can cause brown spots,
wrinkles, and the most common type of cancer today, skin cancer. Use SPF 30 daily under
makeup and SPF 50 and above when you will
be exposed to direct sunlight for more than a
half hour.
A SIMPLE HEALTHY SKIN ROUTINE
EVERYDAY
WEEKLY
Mornings
1. Cleanse.
Use a gentle
cleanser to wash
away oil and
residue.
2. Tone.
Soak a cotton
pad with toner
and wipe it gently
over your entire
face to balance
the PH.
3. Protect.
Apply facial
sunscreen and
facial moisturizer
that hydrates
without clogging
pores.
Scrub up. Exfoliate skin twice
a week with a gentle facial
scrub or exfoliating puff. Be
careful not to use scrubs made
from ground up seeds or other
ingredients that can scratch
the skin’s surface.
Evenings
1. Cleanse.
Remove makeup
and wash face
with a gentle
cleanser.
2. Tone.
Soak a cotton
pad with toner
and wipe it gently
over your entire
face to remove
any residue.
3. Moisturize.
Apply moisturizer
and eye cream
to soothe, repair
and help boost
collagen.
Mask it. Twice a week, use a
mask suitable for your particular
skin type. Many masks exist on
the market, from oil-absorbing
clay masks to hydrating masks
that infuse skin with moisture
and calm irritation.
Quality skincare brands and essential products
are available at the Polo Spa.

THE
FULL-BODY
WORKOUT
Plan For Optimal Results.
BY LESLEY MARLO
Going to the gym without a plan is like going to the grocery store without a list. You could end up wandering
around from one piece of equipment to the next
wasting time and effort and ultimately not getting a
very good workout.
While an exercise plan is essential, it does not
have to be overly complicated. Exercises should
engage all muscle groups and include strength
training as well as cardiovascular exercise to get
the heart rate up and increase blood circulation.
Including exercises that work the muscles in multiple ways, like push and pull movements, creates a
well-rounded more functional workout routine,” says
Polo Club Director of Spa & Fitness, Lisa Kyte.
74
WORKOUT TIP
Always make sure you
are thoroughly warmed
up before starting your
workout and don’t forget
to stretch!
So how do you plan
the ideal workout for
your needs?
Balance is key. Include movements that work
each major area on your body, including:
PUSHING
Pushing exercises work the upper body,
arms, shoulders, chest and back. Examples include, pushups and modified pushups, overhead press, and chest press.
PULLING
Pulling exercises also work the upper
body but engage the muscles in a different, yet complementary, way than pushing exercises. Examples include, band
pulls, TRX rows, pull-ups/chin-ups, bent
over rows, lat pull downs.
CORE
Core exercise work, yep you guessed it,
the core. For a flat tummy and strong
back or that six pack you have always
dreamed of, try the plank or modified
plank, medicine ball slams, wood chops,
band rotations and the scoop toss.
HIP-DOMINANT
Hip-dominant exercises work the upper
legs, gluteous muscles, hip joint, and
often, the knees. Examples include, hip
bridges, squats, lunges, deadlifts and
step-ups.
BALANCE
Balance exercises are excellent for allover strengthening, depending on the
type of exercise you do, and usually
involve moving from one position to
another or using a piece of equipment
that challenges your balance.
Examples include, the staggered reach
progressing to unstable surface reach
(Airex pad), progressing to single leg
standing & single leg deadlifts.
WHOLE-BODY
Whole-body movements use more
muscles groups and burn more calories
per exercise than movements concentrated on one muscle group. Examples
include: bodyweight squats, lunges,
push-ups and pull-ups.
