Opens Its Hearts For
The Love Of Animals
By Pat Deshong
More than 120 guests enjoyed
an exciting evening hosted by
Provident Jewelry raising $20,000
for Furry Friends Adoption and
Clinic of Jupiter. The event was
a debut of the organization’s new
board of directors and to kick off
the year in support.
One of the highlights of the
evening to raise money was the
champagne bar giving guests a
chance to win a one carat diamond.
A men’s Baume & Mercier watch
was also donated to raise additional
funds for the organization. Guests
were able to see animals for
adoption and get a closer look at

season, was chaired by
Kathryn C. Vecellio.
Ambassadors attended
from The Netherlands,
I t a l y, H u n g a r y a n d
Georgia, as well as many
former United States
ambassadors.
Founded in 1957 by
Marjorie Merriweather

American Red Cross.
For almost 100 years locally, The American Red Cross Palm
Beaches – Treasure Coast Region has given hope and help to
people in their greatest hour of need – meeting the physical
and emotional needs of disaster victims, teaching lifesaving
skills such as CPR and First-Aid, and supporting military
members and their families.
“Tonight, we celebrate the 57th anniversary of the Palm
Beach International Red Cross Ball, which has raised many
millions of dollars for this charitable organization, which
does so much for our community, our nation and the world,”
noted Vecellio. “This evening is a tribute not only to the
organization and all that it accomplishes, but to the volunteers
and the generosity of so many in this room who contribute
support. We are honored to host local and international
leaders coming together with that shared goal.”
For the last 40 years, Vecellio has worked as a full-time
organizer, fundraiser and development volunteer for dozens
of nonprofit organizations. She has received countless awards
for her lifetime of service. Her tireless efforts as a member
or chairperson of myriad committees and boards have helped
raise awareness and millions of dollars for more than 40
community, charitable and educational organizations.
Vecellio leads an impressive group of co-chairwomen
for the event including: Honorary Chairman Patrick Park;
Ambassador Chair
Mary Ourisman; and
Event Co-Chairmen

Why Your Hearing
Healthcare Professional
Really Matters
By Murray Steinfeld,
Audioprosthologist
Increasingly, hearing aids
are being attempted to be sold
online through catalogues
and directly to the consumer
by passing the hearing
healthcare professional.
Even Hammacher Schlemer,
a known gift and gadget
retailer is attempting to sell
hearing aids as an over the
counter product by referring
to them as “amplifiers.”
Some large insurance companies have attempted to
persuade their clients to spend their hard-earned money
on hearing products, not necessarily appropriate to their
hearing concerns. They are being told that there will be
a significant savings if purchased from the insurance
company, but the real motivation is not necessarily to
the benefit of the patient but in truth it is to the benefit of
the insurance company. That is called “Client Retention
and Control.” What the client forgets is that they are left
without the face-to-face contact anytime needed to tweak
the aids or to have an immediate examination if there are
any questions as regarding their hearing or how any new
medications or illness may be affecting their current hearing.
The loss of immediate availability and ongoing care by the
locally available audioprosthologist, audiologist or hearing
specialist. What happens if there is need for a repair that
could be done quickly and easily be done in the office,
sometimes while you wait?
What happens when a patient is experiencing difficulty
for whatever the reason and there is no one locally available
to check you, the hearing aids, etc.? What if you have an
accumulation of earwax and it is causing problems with your
aid and your hearing ability? Will the insurance company
send an audioprosthologist, audiologist or hearing specialist
to your home with all the proper equipment necessary to
diagnose the problem and fix it? The insurance company
is looking out for the benefit of the insurance company.
They want to be sure the client and the client’s premium
will be there ongoing. Truthfully, the client and the client’s
problems and their frustrations are very secondary.
Here is some factual information for you to consider:
1) On March 28, 2012, the U.S. Food & Drug
Administration (FDA) issued a letter to (HI) Health
Innovations, a United Healthcare Insurance Company
Division created to influence clients and dispense hearing
aids to their clients made by a totally unknown facility. The
FDA stated that the company’s online hearing test was in
violation of the Federal Food & Drug & Cosmetic Act. In
the same letter the FDA ordered the company to take down
the test. The letter was written and signed by Steven D.
Silverman, director of the Office of Compliance, Center
for Devices and Radiological Health and was addressed to
Health Innovations CEO Lisa Tseng, M.D. Interestingly,
the United Healthcare Division Health Innovations was
instructing the client to go to a hearing healthcare person,
pay them whatever they ask, be tested and send the results
to them and they’ll send you a pair of hearing aids. The
rest of the burden is now on your shoulders. But, you’ll
save some money. What a desperate way for an insurance
company to treat their business and their clients.
Now let’s take an honest look at what really matters with
your hearing healthcare. Here’s the problem. Although it is
true that the by-passing of a licensed and certified hearing
healthcare professional, if available, might be an immediate
savings of some dollars. But, are you willing or would it
be wise to by-pass proper examination, diagnosis, fitting,
programming and counseling which I’m sure you’ll agree
is a recipe for poor treatment outcomes and the increased
risks to your hearing health.
There are many potential causes for hearing loss
including aging, blockages, ear infections, fistulas, head
injuries, medications, Meniere’s disease, noise damage,
otosclerosis and tumors. Many cannot be treated with
a hearing aid and may require immediate medical
intervention. If you consider purchasing your hearing device
from other than your hearing healthcare person you may
become your own worst enemy. What’s more hearing loss
may also result from the improper fitting or programming
of hearing instruments.
It should also be known that most legitimate hearing aid
providers (makers) will not allow their hearing aids to be
sold or dispensed without a face-to-face consultation with
a licensed practitioner. They recognize the risks of buying
and using hearing aids without the proper counseling and
fitting that only a licensed hearing healthcare professional
can provide.
Finally, a hearing aid is not a normal consumer product.
It is a medical device. It requires the proper battery of
audiological tests, it has to have the right hardware and
software and needs to have the correct fit physically for the
patient. It must be tuned and configured to the individual and
be correctly and physically fit to the impaired individual.
Additionally it is to the advantage of the patient to be retested annually and the hearing aids they are wearing be
updated and corrected to the new audiogram. That is in
the best interest of the patient and should be done by their
hearing healthcare practitioner.
In reality fitting hearing aids is an art that is guided by
science and delivered by the experience of a licensed and
board certified hearing healthcare professional.

President & Founder of
Revolution Dating
Hot Off the Press!
Premier matchmaking
and events service launches
new hub in Palm Beach
Gardens
This month I am so
excited to announce the
launch of Revolution Dating,
an upscale dating and events
club which will be delivering more love and friendship to
single, divorced, and widowed adults in Florida. My longterm team and I have been working overtime planning parties
and benefits for all of you. “It’s not what you know, it’s who
you know”...and we know some amazing single men and
women!”
Our office location is the icing on the cake! Located near
Spoto’s Oyster Bar, Rocco’s Tacos, and Vic & Angelo’s
Restaurants, three great date spots. In the past, businesses like
ours have been located “high in the tower” hidden away from
the general public. Today, with online dating & matchmaking
becoming mainstream, placing our new office right in the mix
of the hottest restaurants in town is ideal. Many who have
been on the fence will now feel more comfortable calling
us. Revolution Dating has been called the “hottest gig in
town” by many singles touting that “this is going to be the
best way to meet other quality singles!”
After two decades of success in the industry, I feel driven
to raise the bar for our many friends and clients. I am excited
to introduce new types of events from “Oscar Night” to
“Ballroom Dance Events” to “Yoga Workshop” to “Tandem
Kayaking.” Our goal is to attract date-worthy professional
and retired singles. Between my 23 years in the business, and
my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, my talents rival
some of the best in the U.S.A.! I’m happy to bring it all to
YOU...making the gap from “single” to “taken” very easy!
Financial insight and
expertise. It’s just
around the corner.
Join us for our free
financial workshops.
Since 1991, I’ve helped thousands aged 25-85 find
friendship and romance. Last year, I celebrated another record
year of successful matches, and I can’t wait to increase the
numbers in 2014! The majority of my clients report a positive
dating experience which means they are now engaged,
married or happily dating.
Our client base ranges from Vero Beach to Broward
County. Everyone is screened which includes background
checks. Once a client of Revolution Dating, perks abound.
Membership includes a professional photo shoot, profilewriting assistance, one-on-one date coaching, image
consulting, and/or even personal shopping to get you ready for
your first date. We also have an expert who will help get your
home “relationship ready” post-divorce or break-up. There
is even a “Millionaires Only Circle” available as an option.
For some, we will even plan the date for you by request!
We are here to jump start your love life! Our parties are
private for our friends and members, unlike other singles
events where anyone can attend. As always, our events are
first come first serve! If you don’t like parties, no problem,
we can do one on one set-ups. The club is custom made to
the single clients needs.
To celebrate the Revolution of Love 2014, we are
offering new clients who join before April 20 an invite to
our Sexy Singles Launch Party at the end of April. This will
be the biggest singles event of the year--be sure to RSVP to
561-630-XOXO today if you want to come play with us.
Revolution Dating is light years ahead of the bar scene,
online dating, or any other club in town… as you will come
to know. My team is truly dedicated to love and building
relationships. This is not just about a “date,” this is a life
changing experience!
I hope to see you at the party this month! Much Love As
Always, Your Local Cupid, Kelly

Here at Parasol Garden Furniture we have found that so
many condo associations will not allow grilling on decks or
balconies. It seemed such a shame that people who love the
Florida climate can’t enjoy one of the greatest aspects of
outdoor living, so we created Lava Rock Cooking to solve
the problem!
Cooking on hot rocks is one of the oldest forms of
cooking. With Lava Rock Cooking we have brought this
concept into the 21st century. By using our range of Lava
Rocks you can create a visual feast but also a truly memorable
occasion for family and friends.
Our Lava Rocks are sourced from Mount Etna in Sicily,
Italy and are 100 percent pure volcanic rock. There are no
additives or chemicals.
Cooking on Lava Rock is a healthy way to get the best
taste and flavor from your steaks, seafood and vegetables.
Cooking and entertaining on the Lava Rock could not be
easier. Simply heat the rock in your oven, on your stove top
or on your grill. Place the rock in the beautiful, sustainable
bamboo tray, place your food on top and present each diner
with their own tray to prepare their own food to their own
personal requirements.
Each diner controls their own cooking. The Lava Rock
stays hot for nearly an hour, ensuring hot mouthful after hot
mouthful.
This is a great way to entertain your friends and family
with great flair and you don’t have to compromise on taste
or quality.
Lava Rock Cooking is the healthy way to impress
your fellow diners. It is a great experience that provides a
memorable meal every time.
Lava Rock Cooking – the hottest table in town!

Revocable Living Trusts Versus Wills
Part 1 Of 3
Submitted by Anné
Desormier-Cartwright, Esq.
Member of Elder Counsel
If you are like most
people, you probably believe
the best way to protect your
heirs after your death is
through a will. However,
a living revocable trust is
a far superior method of
transferring property to your
heirs. This is a contract
wherein a party (the settlor), during his lifetime, establishes
rules for the management and distribution of his property
upon his incapacitation or death. Any competent adult can
establish a living revocable trust, and any competent adult
may serve as trustee. The heirs to whom the property in the
trust will be distributed are known as the trust beneficiaries.
A living revocable trust is established in writing and a
trustee is appointed to manage and distribute the property
in accordance with the settlor’s detailed instructions.
Usually the settlor names himself as trustee of the trust
property during his lifetime, with a spouse, friend, relative
or financial institution named as a successor trustee upon his
death or incapacitation. This allows the settler to continue
to manage and control the trust property during his lifetime.
Establishing a living revocable trust has substantial
advantages over a will, for example:
• Avoiding Probate: The biggest advantage of using
a living revocable trust is that, unlike a will, it allows an
estate to avoid probate. Probate is the process whereby
the court oversees the transfer of your property to your
heirs (which will be determined for you by state law if you
don’t designate them in a will), and can be extremely timeconsuming and expensive. It can take between six months
and two years for an estate to clear probate, and the fees
on a $300,000 estate can be as high as $18,000. A living
revocable trust provides an inexpensive way to transfer your
assets to your heirs quickly and easily without having to
submit to probate.

Color In Shade
By Gustavo Asp, President,
Magland Landscape Design
Florida may be the
Sunshine State, but that
doesn’t mean every backyard
is blessed with full sun. South
Florida encompasses U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA) hardiness zones 9
and 10. Finding shade-loving
plants for this region can be
challenging, but many types
of tropical and subtropical
plants perform well in
south Florida so long
as gardeners provide
frequent watering. Shade
plants offer diverse color
and texture, and some
varieties display flowers.
Shade gardens are a
wonderful way to utilize
the areas under trees, Shade garden design and
beside fences and along installed by Magland
foundations. But be sure
to choose the right plants for your shady spot. Check your
garden’s shade patterns. High tree canopies give partial or
dappled shade, while buildings or low trees provide full
shade.
Some shade loving plants also love the sun, so if your
shade shifts, look for plants that adapt, like flax lily. Many
shady areas are also dry, so use drought tolerant shade lovers
like Devil’s Backbone.
Perennials with white or brightly colored flowers or
variegated leaves, such as ground orchids, will really stand
out.
Other shade-loving perennials include ferns, Stramantha
and gingers, but many more are available.
For some color, add caladiums; for flowers, add dragon
wing and angel wing begonias. Also for texture bromeliads
is the way to go with a large range of varieties. If you use a
lot of purple-leaved plants some lime-colored or variegated

Moving The Magical Properties Of
Matcha Into The Modern World
By Maureen Miller,
Mother Nature’s Pantry
The value of Matcha
Green Tea has been
known since the 900s
when Zen Buddhist
monks used it to clear
their focus during
meditation. Samurai
warriors also used this
same tea before battles
for sustained energy
and after battles for
inflammation.
Matcha comes from gyokuro, a green tea that lives
under shade three weeks before harvest. The pure
dried leaves of this tea are stone ground into a fine
powder which is known as Matcha commonly served
during the Japanese tea ceremony. Many of us may
dream about experiencing this calming ritual during
our daily lives – but for the vast majority this simply
is not a reality. How wonderful it would be to sit in
a lovely room and have this powder whisked into
steaming water steeped perfectly and then presented
to us in a beautiful porcelain tea cup. Instead we often
gulp down our breakfast, head off to work and begin
our hectic, normal lives.
Matcha Capsules takes the concept of Matcha tea
into the modern age. Matcha Capsules are a fast new
method of ingesting antioxidants and replaces the
need to drink more than nine cups of brewed green
tea. Within the few moments it takes to swallow
two capsules, the body receives a powerful arsenal
of vitamins, minerals and amino acids – quickly
increasing the ability to focus and raising the energy
level.
When it comes to achieving and maintaining
optimum health, Matcha is without equal. One of
the biggest buzz words in nutrition, antioxidants are
naturally occurring chemical compounds that prevent
aging and chronic diseases. Using the testing method
known as ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity), experts at Tufts University discovered that
Matcha possesses an amazing twenty times more so
than pomegranates or blueberries. With an ORAC
rating of 1,300 units per gram, Matcha blows away
pomegranates’ 105 units per gram or blueberries’ 91
units per gram.
Matcha Capsules harness the value of tradition,
the power of antioxidants with the convenience of
lifestyle on the go.

“This event gives us a wonderful opportunity to raise
money and awareness for an organization that helps make
a difference in so many animals and individual lives. We
believe strongly in our mission,” said Herb Baum, president
of Furry Friends. “We are honored and thankful to all of our
sponsors for making this event happen.”
Furry Friends mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find
permanent homes for the animals in their care. The adoption
facility is adjacent to their full-service hospital that serves
the community, a thrift store on Indiantown Road, a ranch
in Palm City with dogs, cats, goats, horses and pigs. They
reserve space for animals that have been abused, neglected,
injured and abandoned. The costs of caring for the animals
come from donations, grants, events and other fundraising
activities.
“We are thrilled to partner with Furry Friends for
their kick-off event,” said Nick Linca. “We understand
at Provident Jewelry how important it is to support local
charities and businesses and continue to do so throughout
the year. We strongly believe in supporting organizations
that their mission is to enhance the overall community.
Furry Friends ensures that philosophy.”

Police Foundation:
April – The Days Of Wine And Scholarships
By Tom Murphy
Over the last two
months I have discussed
two important happenings
that were to come in the
month of April. Well April
is here and they are about
to happen….
First will be the Sixth
Annual Legacy Place Food and Wine Festival – an
event that the Police Foundation is very pleased to be the
beneficiary of.
This year’s event is set for Thursday, April 24 from 7
to 9 p.m. and promises to be a fabulous evening under a
beautiful spring sky, featuring samplings from some of
South Florida’s top restaurants. Along with the food will be
wine tastings from vineyards around the world, live music
and entertainment. There are two main wine sponsors this
year … the PGA National Resort & Spa and Total Wine
& More.
Tickets are $50 for general admission to include
unlimited food and drink samplings galore, live music,
games, entertainment on the WPBF-25 stage and more.
The Price
Is Right ...
Or Is It?
By Doreen Nystrom, Sales
Manager at Lang Realty for
Palm Beach Gardens and
Jupiter Locations
The last column, I
identified and explained
some of the myths and facts
about selling real estate. I
did not have enough space
to elaborate too much on
each.
So, let’s take one at
a time … putting a price tag on your real estate. There is
caution about overpricing your property. Buyers look at
many properties, not just one. They often spend weeks
and months comparison shopping. If your property is
overpriced in comparison to your competition, the following
unfavorable results may occur:
Properties get the best response from agents and buyers
in the first two weeks of listing. An overpriced home goes
stale in the weeks after that, and even a later price reduction
does not rekindle the fire of original interest.
Real estate agents that are in-tune to the buyer’s
requests and qualifications will not show property that
is priced over an amount the buyer can actually afford.
Properties overpriced will not be shown to prospects that
would otherwise be interested if it were competitively and
accurately priced.
Even if a purchaser agrees to pay a price above the
comparable properties, an appraiser will not be able to
justify the sales price to the lender, and the lender will
not approve a loan based on any amount higher than the
appraised value!
In reality, a property realistically priced and properly
marketed from the beginning actually affords the seller the
best opportunity to maximize profits.
Put your feet in the shoes of the buyers ... are you
willing to spend extra money for a property that will give
you the same comfort and convenience with that of one that
is fairly priced according to your budget? Price does matter.
Although you can always reduce the price of your
property, overpricing is an act that would just put you on a
difficult road to recovery.
Make sure you are priced properly, and adjust the price
tag if you are not. Your local real estate professional can
help ... listen to the ones that are willing to tell you what you
need to hear, not what you want to hear!
You can reach Doreen Nystrom at Lang Realty at
D.Nystrom@LangRealty.com or (561) 209-7900.
Guests will savor tastings from Capital Grille, Café Bistro at
Nordstrom’s, Bonefish Grille, Publix Greenwise, Anthony’s
Coal Fired Pizza, PF Chang’s, three restaurants at the
PGA National Resort & Spa, Cod & Capers, Bagel Boyz,
Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Texas de Brazil, Sandpiper’s
Cove Restaurant and more … and a variety of wines from
vineyards throughout the world.
VIP tickets are $75 per person for extended tastings from
6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and admission to the exclusive Florida
Weekly VIP Lounge within the event. The lounge features
food from Capital Grille, wines from Chateau St. Michelle
and Tease Me Tequila cocktails.
Tickets are available at the Foundation’s Web site –
www.pbgpf.org and the Legacy Place Food and Wine
Festival Web site – www.lpfw.info. Readers of this article
are eligible for a Buy One Get One Free offer until April
17 by entering the promotional code SEAB during the online
ticket purchase.
Festival sponsors include: Legacy Place, Total Wine &
More, PGA National, Braman Motorcars, Florida Weekly,
Capital Grille, Pier1, Gold Coast Beverages, Tease Me
Tequila, KOOL 105.5 and WILD 95.5, WPBF 25, Sign-ARama, VOSS Waters and the Brickman Group.
The second happening is the due-date for the Annual
Police Foundation Scholarship applications.
The two $1,500 scholarships are open to individuals
who are either residents of the city of Palm Beach Gardens
or are employees of the Palm Beach Gardens Police
Department or their dependents and are seeking and have
been accepted in an undergraduate, graduate or technical
studies program at an accredited post-secondary educational
institution.
The application package has been distributed throughout
the Palm Beach County District School system as well
as to private schools and other educational institutions.
The package is also available on the Police Foundation’s
Web site at www.pbgpf.org/scholarships. The deadline
for application submission is April 30. Applications will
be judged on the individual’s academic achievement,
community and volunteer achievements as well as their
financial need.
For further information on either of these April
happenings, please visit the Police Foundation Web site at
www.pbgpf.org or call the foundation office at 799-4440.
Tom Murphy has been president of the Palm Beach
Gardens Police Foundation Inc. since its inception in 2007.
Before helping to form the foundation he was a marketing
executive with the IBM Corporation and earlier a member
of the Nassau County (NY) Police Department.

10th Annual No Excuse For Abuse Luncheon Benefits
Rosenberg Domestic Abuse Outreach And Support
Program At Alpert Jewish Family & Children’s Service
Alpert Jewish Family & Children’s Service celebrated
its 10th Annual No Excuse for Abuse Luncheon, March 12
with its largest attendance ever as nearly 500 filled the Cohen
Pavilion at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach for the
benefit of the agency’s Rosenberg Domestic Abuse Outreach
and Support Program.
The event began with a reception and silent auction. Event
Co-chairs Jennifer and Gary Lesser and Barbara and Peter
Sidel welcomed the attendees and recognized the past chairs
of the event who have served over the past decade.
The program began with a domestic abuse survivor
recounting how she eventually escaped from an abusive
relationship and is now committed to speaking out to help
others. Keynote speaker Kit Gruelle also shared her story
of surviving an abusive husband and her decades of work
to seek justice for domestic violence survivors. Her work is
the subject of a documentary film, Private Violence, which
recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and will
be aired on HBO this fall. She congratulated the agency and
the local community for its support of programs to prevent
domestic violence and to provide therapeutic programming
for its victims.

The Non-Invasive Face And Neck Lift
By Supriya Tomar, M.D.,
B o a rd C e r t i f i e d a n d
F e l l o w s h i p Tr a i n e d
Dermatologist
Ultherapy is the new noninvasive procedure designed
to lift and tone the skin on the
neck, face eyebrow area, and
underneath the chin. It is the
only nonsurgical facelift of its
type that has been approved
by the FDA.
What does the ultrasound therapy do?
This procedure works by depositing focused ultrasound
energy below the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s
creation of new collagen. As a result, skin will actually begin
to lift and tone over time.
What problem areas does ultherapy target?
Ultherapy addresses mild to moderate loose or sagging
skin on the face and neck. Ultherapy will lift the brow, which
in turn reduces excess skin on the lids, opens up the eyes,
and gives a more refreshed look overall. Ultherapy is also
used to lift and tighten sagging skin on the neck and under
the chin, addressing the “turkey gobbler” and “double chin,”
which many patients are trying to eliminate.
How long does the ultrasound treatment take?
A full face and neck treatment takes 60 to 90 minutes,
and a partial face or brow lift treatment can take around 30
minutes – neither with any downtime.
Will I need more than one treatment?
The majority of patients only need one treatment;
however, some may benefit from more than one treatment
(depending on how much laxity they have and their body’s
own biological response to the ultrasound and collagenbuilding process).
How is ultherapy different from lasers?
Lasers typically address issues in the superficial layers
of the skin (e.g. fine lines, wrinkles, pigment changes).
Ultherapy addresses the deep skin layer and the foundational
layer addressed in cosmetic surgery that lifts and lends
support to the skin. Therefore, the two technologies are quite
complementary.
Who is a good candidate for ultherapy?
A good candidate for ultherapy is someone with sagging
skin on the eyelids, on the neck, face or under the chin. The
results from this treatment are gradual and natural. If you are
thinking of having a nonsurgical skin lifting procedure then
it is best to have an aesthetic dermatologist assess your skin
condition and health to judge if you are a good candidate for
this non-invasive laser skin lift.

Pat Deshong and Marcia
Dowd and their Divas
Business Review keep their
finger on the pulse of what’s
happening, where people are
going and what they are saying.
They aren’t just going to tell
you what they experienced and
respected about this business,
but what other randomly
selected customers liked as well. We are interested in what their
customers have to say and share their comments with you.
According To The Divas... It is imperative that you do research
before selecting any physician but being Divas we especially
vetted this practice for purely selfish reasons! We learned about
plastic surgery and the many new procedures available. We asked
questions regarding their backgrounds, certifications and areas of
expertise. With Florida being a mecca of surgeons to pick from we
suggest you do the same. While we were more than satisfied with
their answers and share their stories with you, we do feel that it is
important for you to make an appointment and have a one-on-one
with the doctor. The consultation is complimentary. Don’t be shy
about questions pertaining to the cost and procedures available
and be sure to share your expectations and the outcome you are
hoping for.
ABOUT THE DOCTORS...
Dr. Alan Jacobson M.D.
is the founder of this practice.
He is triple Board Certified by
the American Board of Facial
Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery, the American Board of
Otolaryngology Head and Neck
Surgery and the American Board
of Anti-aging Regenerative
Medicine. He is a fellow of the
American Academy of Cosmetic
Surgery, the American College
of Surgeons (F.A.C.S), the American Academy of Facial Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Society of Head
and Neck Surgery. He practiced in New York for eight years;
combining both private practice and academic medicine (Columbia
University and Mt. Sinai Schools of Medicine). Moving to Palm
Beach in 1989 and establishing the Physicians Skin Care Plastic
Surgery Center, Dr. Jacobson realized the fulfillment of his life’s
professional dream. He combines his deep knowledge of surgical
anatomy and skills with his extensive clinical experience to forge
the concept of Minimally Invasive Facial Plastic Surgery. The
center was the first in Florida and one of the first worldwide where
these principles were incorporated into new techniques which are
now the mainstay of plastic surgery protocols. These procedures
achieve excellent results with no general anesthesia. Dr. Jacobson is
widely published in textbooks and medical journals, and has been
an invited lecturer and teacher both nationally and internationally.
Dr. Vartan Mardirossian
traveled here from Boston in
pursuit of his passion for plastic
surgery. He brings the latest
advances of European and US
facial plastic surgery techniques
to the practice. His particular
attention to the concepts of facial
harmony and perception results
in a personalized plan of surgical
and non-surgical treatments
aimed to achieve a naturally
youthful and attractive look.
Dr. M was born in Bulgaria and moved to Italy at a young age to
attend the prestigious Collegio Armeno Moorat Raphael in Venice
with full scholarship. He pursued and completed his medical
studies at the Facolta’ di Medicina e Chirurgia dell`Universita’

During the years of his Residency in Head and Neck Surgery
in Italy, Dr. M trained under the guidance of famous European
rhinoplasty and facial plastics surgeons. He was invited to perform
research in Head and Neck Oncology at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology and helped implement Robotic surgery at Boston
University Medical Center. He completed a Residency in Head
and Neck surgery at Boston University Medical Center and was
among only 40 surgeons nationwide to pursue a Fellowship in
Facial plastic and Reconstructive surgery, under the guidance of
world acclaimed Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel at Boston University. During
the Boston marathon tragedy Dr. M was called into the hospital
to take care of the victims of the bombings, and with his timely
intervention saved a patient from a permanent facial disfigurement.
Dr. M was one of the few surgeons in Boston to be awarded with
a certificate of appreciation for his service during the Boston
Marathon tragedy.
The passion and the determination of Dr. M to continue on
the road of plastic surgery led him to Florida where he partnered
with Dr. Jacobson. He says “I was immediately impressed by
the genuine values and professional integrity of Dr. Jacobson
- characteristics that are not easy to find in plastic surgeons
nowadays.”
According to many patients and their own staff, Dr. J and Dr.
M work together in great agreement and harmony - not only in the
operating room but also during the routine visits in clinic.
As Dr. Jacobson confirms time and again, Dr M’s unique
skills, dedication to achieve naturally youthful appearance and his
profound knowledge of anatomy is what made him a great match
for this practice and a keeper of his legacy for many years to come.
The following is a brief description of the professional
services available by our research and as described in the material
and information provided to us. We did our best to summarize
each of the procedures as described and in their own words. We
recommend that you call their office directly for more In-depth
information, schedule a complimentary consultation and see their
premises including their own surgical suite where the procedures
are performed.
PROCEDURES:
Face:
S-Lift - A technique specifically developed for correction of
jowls and upper neck. It consists of minimal incisions performed
under local anesthesia or with twilight sedation. During this
procedure, your own facial tissue is moved from your jowls to your
cheek area to give a more youthful look to your face.
J-Lift - A minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedure
developed by Dr. Jacobson. Similar to the S-Lift, this procedure is
performed without the need of general anesthesia, and requires a
bandage for only one day. The J-Lift is for patients who have more
pronounced neck laxity and muscular sagging. There is usually
minimal- to-no- bruising.
Neck Lift - With the availability of new minimal incision surgical
techniques, the neck can now be corrected without the need of a
standard facelift. Performed under local anesthesia or IV sedation,
healing time is rapid and the patient can resume near normal activity
in 5-7 days.
SOOF Lift - As we age, we all get the appearance of having bags
under the lower lids. This is often times associated with a crescent
shape fullness on the cheek below the eye and triangular hollow
below the eye next to the nose. The SOOF lift permits correction
of these problems through a small inconspicuous incision below the
eyelashes or inside the eye lid. This gives the cheek and the lower
eyelid area a youthful and attractive appearance.
Brow Elevation & Lateral Browlift - is a minimally invasive
procedure, in which small 1.5 inch incisions are placed at the hairline
on both sides and the brows are lifted with a nice youthful result,
minimal downtime and excellent non-operated look.
Eyelid Lift - When correcting eyelid lift problems it is always
imperative not to cause a hollow or surprised look. Instead of
removing skin and fat we now use what is available to us to create
a more gentle transition between lower lid and the aging cheek.
Healing time may be a long weekend.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) - is performed in our Jupiter office
under level III anesthesia. Dr. Mardirossian has co-authored a
minimal approach procedure which guarantees a tiny incision with
the same great result. Depending on patient`s anatomy and age,
techniques can vary and you can expect to wear a nasal cast for a
week. We pride ourselves in achieving a naturally pleasing result.
Facial Feminization Surgery is available and is a set of
reconstructive surgical procedures that typically enhance the
feminine features and the attractiveness of the face.
Breast
Breast Augmentation - All procedures are performed without
general anesthesia utilizing only twilight sleep in our fully licensed
operating room. Currently they use silicone gel implants also called
cohesive gel implants or “gummy bears” which always maintain
their form. We are proud of the natural results and many satisfied
patients through the years. Most patients can return to near normal
activities in several days.
Breast Lift - The “V - Lift”- Vertical Lift is a minimally invasive
procedure where we utilize a person’s own breast tissue to lift and
augment the breast. Our method gives the Breast more projection
and does not require the type of incision that is known to cause the
breast to flatten and be less aesthetically appealing.
Body
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) - is performed under twilight
sleep and local anesthesia. Excess skin and fat is removed, the waist
is contoured and the muscles are tightened. We have found that our
patients experience minimal pain.
Smartlipo - is a new technique of liposuction. The fat is melted
and the laser initiates a significant skin retraction reaction. Unlike
more typical types of liposuction, Smartlipo allows skin contouring
and shrinkage without the need for surgical intervention.
Arms, neck, chest and muffin top No loose skin TM treatment
- is a minimally invasive radio frequency skin- tightening procedure
that eliminates redundant skin in the neck, chest, arms, thighs abovethe-knee area, as well as other areas, by improving the elasticity of
the skin. Downtime, is minimal and the patient is usually back to
her/his everyday activities the following day.
NON SURGICAL TREATMENTS
Fraxel Laser - is the gold standard for non-invasive facial
rejuvenation. The procedure is performed with topical anesthesia
and effectively reduces or diminishes photo damage, fine lines, large
pores, wrinkles and brown spots.
Dermal fillers:
Juvederm - is an injectable replacement for the hyaluronic acid
your skin has lost. It replenished its volume and smoothes away
facial wrinkles, folds, scars and stretch marks.
Belotero - is an FDA approved dermal filler made of a soft,
cohesive gel used to fill fine lines and wrinkles around the lips and
under the eyes. Belotero works instantly, plumping your skin and
filling those unwanted folds and wrinkles. Results usually last 6
months or more.
Voluma instantly adds volume to the cheek area to restore the
youthful contour of the face.
Botox Cosmetic is administered via a few tiny injections
directly into the mimic muscles. Botox enables the muscles to relax
by blocking the release of a chemical that normally causes them to
contract.

include:

Suite
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS:
Beth, 47 and from Jupiter said that through the years she has
been under the care of several plastic surgeons always trying to chase
away “father time”. Her introduction to the Center for Excellence
came when she complimented a woman who she knew to be much
older and asked what her secret was. The woman smiled and said
a “J Lift” by Dr. Jacobson and Dr. Mardirossian and when asked
to see the scars, she answered there are none. Beth had been in the
medical business for years and immediately called for a consultation.
She was pleased with the doctor’s patience as they answered her
many questions and was astounded when they dissuaded her from
doing things they felt was unnecessary. She eventually had several
procedures done at the same time at the Centers private surgical suite
and was amazed the next day when all the bandages were removed
and there were no bruising on her face or body. Dr. M explained
that was due to a special type of local anesthesia which decreases
bleeding, bruising and pain. She mentioned the experience was
“easier and less stressful than some dental work I’ve had done. All
my friends told me how great I now look, but the greatest compliment
came from my dermatologist who told me I look natural and not
pulled like some others do after a face lift.”
Roni, 60 from Palm Beach, prides herself in being a “cougar.”
Always being a size two, and considered attractive, she found
“saying goodbye to beauty not a happy thing to do.” Starting with
a breast implant at thirty and a breast lift twenty-five years later she
felt it was time to do her face. Her procedure was an S-Lift with
facial rejuvenation and done in less than an hour at the Center for
Excellence surgical suite under twilight sedation. She experienced
no pain and almost no bruising with a downtime of only four days.
Roni was thrilled with the results saying “I look just like me only
fifteen years younger.”
What The Divas say about Doctors Jacobson & Mardirossian...
Although we did not have the benefit of sampling as we
traditionally like to do ( Marcia did manage to find a jar of chocolate
candy. Pat tried to tell her it did not count), we feel confident in
writing this review. Dr’s Jacobson & Mardirossian are qualified
physicians with an impressive list of credentials. The practice has
been in existence since1989 and we had the benefit of many satisfied
clients to choose from. The office is warm, comfortable and inviting
as is the staff. While we are not experts in this field, our research
showed that they keep up with the latest technology and products
available. You may be reluctant to admit this but we know that most
of us, definitely Divas, have at least flirted with the idea of having
something done to turn back the clock. This feeling is only natural
and nothing to be ashamed of. If you feel that refreshing your look
will make you a more confident and happier person then you should
at least find out what is involved. Only you can make that decision
and perhaps a visit to these doctors will help you decide. Oh, and
when you go, please don’t forget to tell them The Divas sent you!
The Divas keep their fingers on the pulse of what is happening
in local businesses and share their perspective and customer
opinions in their monthly column. If you have a comment,
would like to be invited to a future Diva event or are interested

Ask Dr. G …
Why Is Your Hospice’s Slogan
‘Live Every Day To The
Fullest?’ (Reader Submitted)
People sometimes ask me
if hospice care is depressing.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite: I
am so honored to witness lives
that have truly come alive.
As a physician at Hospice
of Palm Beach County
and Broward County, I am
amazed by the fearlessness
of our patients, as they live
and embrace each day. It’s
something we all could learn,
no matter where we are in life.
When patients and families come to us, they are often
managing multiple appointments with multiple specialists.
The last things on their mind are smelling the roses or sand
between their toes. Hospice care lifts some of the stress so
families can refocus on each other.
I had a patient who was homebound and wanted to take
a trip with his son to Disney World. We taught him how to
administer his medication and contacted a hospice in Orlando
in case he needed help. The logistics, however, aren’t what
made this trip possible. The chance to have a hospice team
behind him made him the “pilot,” where he could imagine
new possibilities.
I had another patient who was near death, but wanted to
drink a beer and watch a baseball game. Our doctors and
nurses were able to adjust his medication so his body could
handle the excitement. He was able to enjoy that time with
friends and family, one of life’s simple pleasures.
What would you do if you knew you had six months
to live? I believe there are two options: you can either
succumb to fear, doing everything possible to delay it, or
you can focus on living each day to the fullest. The latter
is much easier said than done. When you’re faced with a
serious illness you forget about the life that happens between
appointments. The biggest lesson my patients have taught
me is to make every day special.
The ultimate example is the patient in an assisted living
facility who had cancer. When she was admitted into hospice
care, she decided to have a party celebrating her life. She
asked all of her friends and family to come and share the
wonderful things they had to say about her, reminisce about
the good times and plan more time to share their love.
“Hospice” is simply this: a team of professionals who help
patients determine their own care and experiences. We have
doctors and nurses who help alleviate the pain and symptoms
our patients face. Integrative therapists provide massage,
music and aromatherapy to ease the discomfort as well. Social
workers come in and help patients with whatever they want
to resolve before they pass. Volunteers provide respite for
caregivers. Our goal is to lift the burden off of families so
that they can turn their attention to living and loving.
Many days I think to myself, “I couldn’t ask for a better
teacher than the patients I serve.” Hopefully their journeys
will serve to inspire your story as well.

Commissioner’s Update
County Sells Mecca Property
By Commissioner Hal
R. Valeche
In 2004, the county
purchased the 1,900-acre
Mecca Farms property, a
former orange grove site for
$60 million. The purchase
was part of the plan to lure
the Scripps Research Institute
to Palm Beach County,
surrounded by a cluster of
related biotech industries.
Due to a complicated permitting process and major
opposition from numerous environmental groups, a federal
judge’s ruling caused the county to stop construction on
this site. Jupiter was ultimately chosen as the new site for
the Scripps Research Institute and the Mecca property lay
dormant for several years. In addition to the $60 million the
county spent to purchase the site, an investment of $40 million
was spent on planning, permitting and initial construction
costs for the Mecca property. Initially, county officials thought
they could sell the property for development but the South
Florida building boom went bust and the county was stuck
with 1,900 acres of unused farmland with annual costs of $4
million in debt service and $250,000 for upkeep.
Last October, the County Commissioners unanimously
approved the sale of the Mecca property to the South Florida
Water Management District for $26 million. While the county
lost money on the deal, the property did sell above appraised
value. The South Florida Water Management District intends
to use the property as a water storage area and flow way to
meet the Loxahatchee River Minimum Flows and Levels.
As part of the deal, the county retains title to 22 acres on
which a county water plan was built, and the county will
have the option of buying back 98 acres of right-of-way for
Seminole-Pratt Whitney Road at $14,000 per acre. The South
Florida Water Management District agreed to give 150 acres
to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to
build a shooting range that will meet Olympic competition
standards. The plan includes a shooting range capable of
attracting national shooting events and will include trap and
skeet shooting, pistol and rifle ranges, along with a pro shop,
clubhouse and spectator seating. This property finally has a
future with a multitude of public purposes, benefiting the
environment and the citizens of Palm Beach County.
If I can be of assistance to you, please don’t hesitate to
contact my office at 355-2201 or by e-mail at hvaleche@
pbcgov.org.
For the thrill of the hunt
... and to change people’s lives
“
Hospice took care of all of us so we
could enjoy each day together.

Mayor’s Ball Delivers On Dazzle
The red carpet is rolled up and the votes are in, the Inaugural Mayor’s Ball was a success.
Approximately 550 people attended the black-tie gala at the Palm Beach County Convention
Center on March 8 to benefit the Homeless Coalition.
The event raised about $200,000 for Homeless Coalition programs, including interim
for the homeless and the Senator Philip D. Lewis Center.
as the beneficiary because the coalition is committed to making the 10-Year Plan to End
Homelessness a reality.
“This was a diverse crowd,” said Homeless Coalition Board President Pamela Goodman.
“It felt like everyone in Palm Beach County was on the same team for one night.”
During her speech at the dinner and dance, Taylor addressed the issue of homelessness
in our community. The event also included photographs and facts about the homelessness.
Guests walked through a makeshift house and learned the furniture inside would be donated
to formerly homeless families.
A family of four received a new living room set. A disabled Vietnam veteran has a bed in
his new apartment and a single mother of two can enjoy dinner with her sons at a new dining
table. “Stories about families and individuals living with and overcoming homelessness
inspired us to plan this event,” said Munoz. “We’ll keep working until there is no longer a
need.”
Committee
“More people are now aware that homelessness is a
serious issue in our community and they are committed to
make a difference,” said Marilyn Munoz, executive director
of the Homeless Coalition of Palm Beach County. “It was
a fabulous party, but the best part is homeless families and
individuals will benefit long term as a result of the public’s
generosity.”
Palm Beach County Mayor Priscilla Taylor chose to
host a Mayor’s Ball as a way to reach a variety of people;
community leaders, businesses, the faith community and
the general public. Taylor selected the Homeless Coalition

they named it and call it just that, Lake Rotoiti, which means
“First Lake.” Continuing on, they came upon the second lake,
and you guessed it, named it Rotorua, which means “Second
Lake.”
The volcanic plateau around the second lake became the
heart of the Maori Nation. Rotorua is situated on a volcanic
rift that extends some 160 miles from the White Islands, which
lie off the coast of the Bay of Plenty, to Lake Taupo and the
volcanoes of the Tongariro National Park in the center of the
North Island. Today, more than 60,000 people live in this area.
In addition to its many natural wonders, it contains the world’s
largest man made forest. The exotic tree that dominates this
forest is the Radiata pine, a fast growing renewable species
that is cropped for the pulp and paper industry.
On the natural side, it’s the thermal reserve that attracts the
tourist to Rotorua. Statistically, one out of every four visitors
to New Zealand experiences the thermal reserve. It is an area
filled with bubbling mud pools, where hot water keeps the
surface of the earth steaming and bubbling with huge bubbles
like a boiling caldron. On the geyser flat is Pohutu splashing.
It is the great geyser in New Zealand. I first visited this site
about 25 years ago and at that time, Pohutu spouted off on a
periodic basis, about once every hour. This is about the same
timing as the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National
Park. However, during my visits in the last few years, it has
been spouting hot water continuously into the atmosphere. The Rotorua Museum which was the former bathhouse to enjoy the natural hot springs.

Standing in the heart of the city’s activities is the original bathhouse.
This English half-timber building with its classic roof dormers was
constructed in 1908 and served as the city’s original bathhouse. A
well-manicured bowling lawn lies in front of the building. Today, the
building houses Rotorua’s Museum and Art Gallery. To the right side
of this original bathhouse stand the Polynesian pools. These baths are
a collection of thermal pools, each with it own special mineral content
and varying temperature. The pools and the therapeutic healing abilities
were paramount to the European involvement in the development of
Rotorua. Rotorua’s first sanitarium began in 1880 and was composed of
sulfurous water believed to be beneficial for arthritis and rheumatism.
Most present day users are there for the element of relaxation.
Today, a large portion of Rotorua is heated by and receives its power
and hot water from the heat of the earth. One of the must do’s on a visit
to Rotorua is experiencing a Hangi. A Hangi is a Maori feast held in one
of the village meetinghouses with traditional singing and dancing. The
festivities are followed by a banquet of food that has been cooked in a
hole dug in the earth that has been heated by steam provided by Mother
Nature. During my earlier visits to the area the women of the village
cooked ears of corn in net bags lowered into pits dug into the earth,
filled with crystal clear boiling water. At just the appointed time, the bag
would be fished out of the boiling caldron and sticks inserted into the
end of the ears, so that they could be handled and eaten like a corn dog.

Freezing Fat
By: Daniela Dadurian, M.D.
Medical Director
There are so
many ways to lose
weight and more so,
so many diets out
there to choose from.
Yet so many people
struggle with their
shape and bulges that
don't seem to go away
despite all the diet
and exercise. There
are a lot of factors
that contribute to
a person not being
able to rid a certain
area of fat on the body despite weight-loss.
Those types of people are still searching and
fortunately there are many options to address
this issue.
Cool sculpting is an FDA cleared device
for noninvasively removing fat cells as the
device hand piece is selectively placed over
the area to be treated while keeping the skin
intact. There is no damage to the surrounding
tissue as the cool sculpting selectively freezes
the fat. During the treatment the patient may
experience some tingling, stinging and or
mild cramping and this will dissipate as the
area becomes numb due to the cold sensation.
Immediately after the treatment the treated
area will temporarily feel cold and firm. Some
common side effects may include bruising,
tenderness, cramping and a "pins and needles"
sensation. These side effects should all
resolve within 2 to 3 weeks. The final result
may appear within three weeks to up to four
months.
The best way to find out if a patient is a
candidate is to schedule a complimentary
consultation. During this time we can assess
whether the patient is a good candidate and
if the expectations are realistic. Science is
changing the face of medicine and cosmetic
treatments. We are excited to introduce this
technology as it is changing lives one at a
time. For more information call 561-655-6325

Sherry
One Of The World’s
Oldest Wines Is A Treasure
That Is Underappreciated
In Many Circles
By Glenn Sudnick,
Certified Sommelier
Sherry has a protected
Spanish designation of origin
status. This fortified wine (a
fortified wine is produced
by having grape spirit added
during the production in
order to increase the
alcoholic strength, halt
fermentation to preserve the
sugar content and stabilize)
comes from an
area of Spain
known as the
sherry triangle
consisting
of the three
towns of Jerez
de la Fronters,
Sanlúcar de
Barrameda and
El Puerto de
Santa Maria.
There are three
grape varieties
authorized for
production:
Palomino,
Muscat of
Alexandria and
Pedro Ximénez.
The last two
grapes are
mainly used for
sweetening.
Sherry glasses
Serrano ham
Olives
Sherry is aged by the Solera system which uses tiers of
wine casks that are systematically blended with the more
mature wine in the casks below. Sherry comes in different
styles.
Fino is a crisp, dry and nutty delicate sherry.
Manzaniila comes from the coastal town of Sanlúcar
de Barrameda and is typically lighter than fino, often with
a little salty finish.
Amontillado is amber in color with a distinctive nutty
flavor that is complex, with a long finish.
Palo Cortado is a rare variety of sherry that is much
sought after. The production of this rare breed has notes that
are a cross of a fino and the nutty richness of an amontillado.
The character of this fine wine make it quite expensive.
Oloroso sherry is dry and brown-colored. It is a rich
nutty style with aromas of raisins.
Cream sherry is sweetened with the addition of Muscat
or Pedro Ximénez grapes and is more commercially
produced.
Sherry can be served with an appetizer or dessert.
Spain offers great cheeses and salted hams. My favorite
cheese is probably the famous Manchego. This cheese is
incredible, made from unpasteurized sheep’s milk; it is aged
between three months to two years. Normally butterscotch
in color it is well developed, creamy with nutty flavors.
To compliment this fine cheese I serve thinly sliced
Serrano ham, fresh rustic Spanish bread baked with sundried tomatoes and an assortment of Manzanilla olives all
marinated with oregano, thyme, garlic, orange, lemon and
a little rosemary. These are Mediterranean wonders!
Wouldn’t it be fun to offer your guest a sherry with all
the accompaniments when they arrive at your home?
Hasta pronto,
Glenn

Reception Spotlights Need For Local Adolescent

Danielle Hickox Moore And Mary Alice Fortin
Foundation Challenge Community To Join In
Support
Recently, Palm Beacher Danielle Hickox Moore was a guest at a reception honoring
Hanley Center, but it was her announcement that managed to steal the show at the intimate
gathering.
Joanie and Paul Van der Grift provided the perfect setting in their beautiful Palm Beach
home for the reception. Arrivals made their way over a koi pond and into a lush garden and
pool area for passed hors d’oeuvres. They chatted with old and new Hanley supporters and
made quick friends with the Van der Grift’s beautiful and well-behaved pooches.
When it came time to move inside, Mike Hanley, son of Hanley Center founders Mary
Jane and Jack Hanley, told guests about his parents’ vision nearly 30 years ago to provide a

“When my own children were young, there was nowhere
locally for us to turn,” said Benoit. “I watched them suffer
and I watched many of their friends not recover from this
disease. I only wish we would have had local resources then.
Addiction is a disease. If our children were suffering with
diabetes or heart conditions, we would not have been ashamed
to seek quality care. But we didn’t know any better then. Now
that we have experienced the hope that comes with recovery
and the results of quality treatment, we want to be sure that
future generations have access to quality care right here at
home.”
Benoit introduced Danielle Moore who announced a $1
million grant from the Mary Alice Fortin Foundation for the
adolescent and young adult treatment center. The dollar-fordollar matching grant stipulates that the matching gifts must
come from new donors to Hanley Center.

Fashions And Flowers Highlighted
PBG Garden Club Two Events
The Palm Beach Gardens Garden Club held its Annual
Scholarship Luncheon and Fashion Show on Feb. 19 in the
Embassy Suites on PGA Boulevard. The event raised money
for horticulture scholarships to support students at Palm
Beach State College. Last year four scholarships were given
and they paid for two courses at the college for each recipient.
This year the club plans to give out even more scholarships.
Robin Sweet, luncheon chairman, and her committee
were pleased with the fashion show and the results of the
fundraising event. Fashions were borrowed from C. Orrico
of Palm Beach and were worn by garden club members and
others. Photographs were shot by Penny Sheltz.
The March meeting of the Palm Beach Garden Club was
on the 5th. Instead of a speaker, members Jan Warshauer
and Anya Sheehy-Moritz showed those who attended how
to make small floral arrangements in decorated tuna fish cans
that would be given to home-bound elderly along with their
delivery from “Meals on Wheels.” These creative pieces
were a loving reminder to the shut-ins that others care about
bringing some beauty into their lives.
Garden Club meetings are held on the first Wednesday from
October to June with the exception of December and February.
Guest speakers share their knowledge on various subjects
Molly Caruso has fun showing off the outfit she picked to
wear from C. Orrico of Palm Beach.
Completed arrangements ready to take to “Meals on Wheels”
for distribution to shut-ins.

such as orchids, begonias, roses, water preservation, organic
gardening, photography of flowers, etc. Meetings also include
light refreshments and a plant raffle. A green thumb is not needed
to be a member of this garden club, but knowledgeable members
and speakers will help you cultivate one!
