COMMUNITY
Rabbi David Steinhardt Receives 2025 Melanie Jacobson Inspirational Jewish Leadership Award
Boca Raton, FL – May 19, 2025 –B’nai Torah Congregation, the largest conservative synagogue in Southeast Florida, honored Senior Rabbi David Steinhardt with the 2025 Melanie Jacobson Inspirational Jewish Leadership Award during Shabbat services on Saturday, May 3. The award, first introduced in 2023, recognizes individuals who exemplify visionary Jewish leadership, spiritual integrity, and a deep commitment to community.
Rabbi Steinhardt was celebrated for more than three decades of extraordinary service, including his 31-year tenure as Senior Rabbi at B’nai Torah Congregation. Under his leadership, the synagogue grew from a small but passionate congregation into a thriving, multi-generational community of more than 1,400 families.
“Rabbi Steinhardt has been able to lead and energize us for 31 years because his Judaism comes from deep intellectual and spiritual development,” said Melanie Jacobson, Executive Vice President of B’nai Torah and the award’s namesake. “He knew that spirituality was not just how we pray—but how we educate, how we care, how we include, and how we elevate.”
During her presentation of the award, Jacobson concluded with: “When Warren Venice, a Jewish pioneer in the field of Leadership Studies, defined leadership as the capacity to translate vision into reality, he was undoubtedly referring to [Rabbi Steinhardt]. We are in deepest gratitude for your remarkable vision, which has become our living reality. Let us rise ever higher. Thank you, Rabbi, for being our
teacher and our best friend.”
Rabbi Steinhardt will step down on June 30, 2025. In recognition of his profound impact, the City of Boca Raton will honor him with a proclamation on Tuesday, May 27.
“I’m so appreciative of this award and B’nai Torah’s recognition of what I’ve done and how I’ve tried to do it,” said Rabbi Steinhardt. “When I walk into the sanctuary, I never forget the limitations of my power, the source of whatever gifts I might have. I recognize how important it is to try to access that place of limitation and humility each and every time that I speak, each and
every time that I teach. I believe that’s where true connection begins.”
For over three decades, Rabbi David Steinhardt has served as the spiritual heart of B’nai Torah Congregation, the largest conservative synagogue in Southeast Florida. Since becoming Senior Rabbi in 1994, he has guided the synagogue’s transformation from a small congregation to a thriving community of more than 1,400 families. His visionary leadership, deep compassion, and unwavering commitment to Jewish values have left an indelible mark on both the congregation and the broader Boca Raton community. Rabbi Stein-
hardt’s tenure is defined by growth in membership, expansion of educational programs, and groundbreaking interfaith and social justice initiatives. He co-founded the Boca Raton Interfaith Clergy Association and launched the synagogue’s Justice and Compassion Initiative and its beloved TLC (Tzedakah, Learning, and Chesed) program, which continues to serve as a cornerstone of B’nai Torah’s outreach work. A respected teacher, Rabbi Steinhardt has enriched the lives of thousands through his weekly Torah study sessions, educational partnerships, and mentorship of future leaders. In times of joy and tragedy, Rabbi Steinhardt has been a source of strength and unity. As he prepares to retire, his legacy continues to inspire through the values he lived and shared: learning, compassion, and community. His impact will resonate for generations.
B’nai Torah Congregation is the largest conservative synagogue in Southeast Florida with over 1,300 membership families. It is a close-knit, multi-generational, modern, and egalitarian synagogue, which offers diverse services, programs of worship, learning, tzedakah, social action, and social activities. B’nai Torah Congregation creates a perfect outlet for arts, culture, and learning, and we are home to several schools of Jewish education. The synagogue, which offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities that will enrich the synagogue experience, is a tremendous and vibrant center for tzedakah acts and projects that touch thousands of people.

Officials Defend Possible Boca Skate Park Relo
By: Marci Shatzman
The beach and park district is still getting pushback on possibly moving the city’s skate park to their planned North Park on the former Boca Teeca golf course property they own. But is it fair? Commissioners don’t think so.
It wasn’t on the agenda at the May 19 meeting of the Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District, but a few residents lined up at the mic as they have before to complain about a possible site between two condo buildings. The city’s Tim Huxhold Skate Park at 400 Crawford Blvd. is expected to be relocated as part of the city and interim partner Terra & Frisbee Group’s plans for a new Downtown Government Campus.
A resident thanked the district’s executive director Briann Harms for meeting with Boca Teeca 9, a community of 117 condo owners, but point-
ed out a skate park is not “passive recreation” like planned nature trails in North Park. “The city of Boca Raton very much needs a skate park, but it doesn’t belong in North Park, more a sports park setting.” But another resident called previous complaints about noise “a red herring.”
Commissioner Susan Vogelgesang took issue with emails suggesting moving the skate park instead to Countess DeHoernle Park/Spanish River Athletic Facility on Spanish River Boulevard. “We don’t own DeHoernle, and North Park is not a done deal” she said. “A lot of this stems from a misunderstanding,” she added, encouraging residents to go to city council meetings to express their views. “Don’t just talk to us,” Commissioners Steve Engel agreed.
Commissioner chair Erin Wright reinforced the board’s transparency and added putting out erroneous information “isn’t fair to us. We’re not doing a backroom deal.” Harms appealed to residents watching their meetings online or in person. She’s the mother of a special needs child who has found acceptance among skate park users in another community, she said. She urged residents affected by a possible skate park in North Park not to jump to conclusions.
New Public Art Nod to Boca’s Centennial
By: Marci Shatzman
Next time you go to the city’s Spanish River Library, you’ll notice a new saying on the wall in an outdoor courtyard. Apropos of the setting, “Palm Trees Sway,” is a permanent poetry installation that also states: “Ocean breeze whispers..Sunrise paints the sky…A century of learning…Young minds growing.”
The new public art project is part of Ode to Boca, encouraging residents to take part in the city’s centennial year by submitting five lines of words based on their zip code. So, the city held a for-
mal ribbon cutting that Deputy Mayor Fran Nachlas called “our first plastic poetry installation.” This is “how art can transform public spaces,” added the city’s public art coordinator Veronica Hatch.
The letters are made from recycled single-use plastic like straws and bottles, explained the artist Nate Moyer, whose project is called Free Plastic. https://www.freeplastic.org/ He has fashioned plastic trash into coffee tables, jewelry and cutting boards. A 2009 Florida Atlantic University alum, Moyer said the letters took 7.3 pounds of plastic pollution to create. He made the letters by hand. He even has “recycled bins for plastic bottle caps in both libraries that will go into future poems,” he said, of Spanish River and the city’s Downtown Library.
Ode to Boca is under the aegis of O’Miami, and executive director Melody Santiago Cummings attended the ribbon cutting. So did city Councilman Andy Thomson and former deputy mayor Andrea O’Rourke, who championed public art when she was in office.
Faulk’s Latest Butterfly Release Tells a Story
By: Marci Shatzman
Faulk Center for Counseling likens their annual live butterfly release to the journey from mental health to wellness.
So, the free or low-cost counseling and graduate student and volunteer training center observed Mental Health Awareness Month in May and what would have been the 100th birthday of their founder Dr. Elizabeth Faulk with a free community celebration, complete with popcorn, cupcakes and cotton candy. “That’s why we’re doing ‘get your green on,” too, as part of the campaign to create support and talk openly about mental health and trauma, noted Dr. Holly Katz, Faulk’s clinical and training director.
“I believe mental health should be a right for everyone, not a privilege,” Faulk’s longtime board executive Lois Weisman said at the presentation. The
founder’s birthday coincides with Boca Raton’s 100th anniversary, noted CEO Jonathan Price. His wife Kelly got shoutouts for her decorating prowess, and both their young daughters wore twin butterfly dresses. The youngest wore wings.
“This is one of my favorite events,” said Deputy Mayor Fran Nachlas, wearing a green dress to present Boca Raton’s formal proclamation. Then special guests like Palm Beach County Commissioner Marci Woodward and other supporters stepped outside on the lawn to receive their Painted Lady butterfly encased in a small green envelope and released them. The butterflies fluttered for a few moments on the grass or on hands like Fran’s and Jonathan’s before showing them to the kids and flying away.

Winning Teams –And Weakest Links
A time-honored adage tells us, “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” A chain, whether wrapped around someone’s wrist, restraining an aggressive dog, or suspending a heavy object, cannot serve its purpose if one or more of its links are weak. This principle also is true for many areas of life – such as building and sustaining strong teams, whether on athletic fields and arenas or in the marketplace.
Another truism that applies here is, “One person can’t make a team, but one person can break a team.” In other words, the most gifted and talented member of a team cannot guarantee the team’s success. But the failure of one individual on the team can contribute greatly to its downfall.
Years ago, I had the privilege of going to Brazil for a series of meetings with business and professional leaders wanting to learn how to represent Jesus Christ more effectively where they worked, using CBMC strategies. During one session I used the sport of soccer (futbol) as an example. When all the players are playing their positions in a unified way, victory can often be achieved. However, if even one player fails to do his or her job – especially the goalie – defeat is probable.
Using that analogy, I explained to my friends in Brazil the key to fruitful marketplace ministry was not relying on a single individual, which had been the case in the past, but recognizing their various strengths, making allowances for one another’s weaknesses, and determining how to assign various responsibilities while striving toward the same goals: To present Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to those they encountered through the workplace, and to help followers of Jesus to become fruitful disciples.
The Bible is not a sports guidebook, but it says much about the importance of teamwork. For instance:
All play an important role on the team. Imagine if the percussionists failed to perform their parts in Peter Tchaikovsky’s rousing “1812 Overture.” Or if two keys on the piano were terribly out of tune when a virtuoso pianist was playing Beethoven’s “Moon-
light Sonata.” The results would not be good. “The body is a unit though it is made up of many parts, and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ…. God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked, so that there should be no division in the body” (1Corinthians 12:1231).
Teams provide support when needed. Even on a good team, things do not always go smoothly. A struggling team member can benefit from the support and encouragement of others on the team, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!… Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).
Everyone can make a unique contribution. Some members of a team may receive more attention, but each one contributes, from the CEO to the custodian. We need them all. “…Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment according to the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us…” (Romans 12:3-6).

SOLVITUR AMBULANDO
By: Douglas G Logan
At The Extreme
I left Florida, two years ago, with an intense dislike for its governance. I don’t identify as “woke”. But the radical anti-woke agenda of Ron and Casey DeSantis appalled me. The extreme, anti-intellectual views of many local school boards were insulting to my values. The fact that the state had become a haven for selfishness, greed and bias was very off-putting.
For many reasons, I moved to upstate New York. Its former governor, Andrew Cuomo, is a duplicitous, opportunistic charlatan. His conduct towards women is reprehensible. His extreme, progressive agenda does not get my support. I hope he gets his butt thoroughly whipped in his race for Mayor of NYC.
Both DeSantis and Cuomo are flawed politicians, selling political extremism. They do not represent me, my values or my position on the ideological spectrum. Yet, if you believe everything you see and hear in the broadcast, cable, or social media, the polemical world is binary. You are categorized in one of the two extremes.
Dick Polman, the veteran national political columnist, addressed this in his essay this morning.
“But it’s the baleful nature of our media environment to amplify extreme responses, on all issues, so that we react to the excesses; so that the excesses stand for the issue, whatever it is: reaction to Gaza, Israel, policing, etc. And then we lose sight of what matters.”
The current discussion in the “public square” rarely represents my leftof-center views. Hamas is an immoral, terrorist organization that must be eradicated as a movement. Israel had/
has the right to respond forcefully. The Israeli government cruelly and immorally inflicted tens of thousands of casualties on innocent civilians. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. These are not contradictory positions.
We must establish control of our borders. We do not bear the responsibility of immediately allowing a border crossing by every migrant, or even asylum seeker. We should institute fair and transparent rules. But, anti-migrant gestapo tactics are immoral and uncivilized. I believe we Constitutionally owe due process to anyone on our soil. Again, I see no contradiction.
I believe those shouldering the burden of non-binary gender should be treated with grace, empathy and understanding. However, I do not support many of the extreme positions allowing unfair advantage in women’s sports. And, I think many are overly preoccupied by bathroom usage.
This is but a short list of the issues I think about; the positions I take. I am a decorated Vietnam combat veteran, who put down his guns when he returned to civilian life. I am morally opposed to abortion but politically committed to a woman’s right to make decisions for her own body.
“In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!”
Longfellow’s words are a reminder. Corporate media, for commercial purposes, treats us like dumb, driven cattle. Its drovers drive us to our extreme corners. The center has no rabbi. We all have to be voluble and heroic. Refuse to be represented by the extremes.
Good day, Toni:
MEDICARE MOMENTS
By: Toni King
I’m turning 65 with retiree benefits … why do I need Part B?
We saw your article about Medicare Part B enrollment in our local newspaper, but my wife’s and my Medicare enrollment situation is different. We will both turn 65 this year, me in June and Carol in September. I have signed up for Medicare Part A only and Carol will enroll for Part A soon.
I retired when I turned 63 with fantastic retiree benefits for both me and my wife. Currently, I am being paid as a 1099 contract worker, so I do not have health benefits with the company where I am working part-time.
We do not see a need to sign up for Medicare Part B because of our coverage under a retiree employer group health plan. Are we correct in this assumption of us not enrolling in Part B? Neither the HR department nor Medicare can give us a straight answer we need guidance.
Please explain what you as a Medicare consultant would recommend that we do about applying for Part B with retiree benefits. Thanks in advance, Toni.

Richard and Carol
Hello Richard and Carol:
Great Medicare question. I would advise you to enroll in Part B NOW because both you and Carol are in your Medicare Initial Enrollment Period (IEP). Not enrolling in Medicare Part B can result in a Medicare nightmare. I did write a Medicare article recently about someone who was self-employed, working as a “sole proprietor” with individual coverage and not a “contract worker” as you currently are, Richard, but the same rule applies. A contract worker’s status is typically as an independent contractor who is hired to perform a specific task or project under a contract and is not considered an employee who receives employer benefits.

CHARITY
Yellow Ribbon Fund Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Record-Breaking Gala, Raising $630,000 for U.S. Military Families
Boca Raton, FL – May 19, 2025 –Yellow Ribbon Fund (YRF) celebrated its 20th Anniversary Gala at The Boca Raton on February 20, raising a record-breaking $630,000 in donations from over 300 attendees. The event featured a Gatsby-inspired theme hosted by Emcee Sean Spicer, that included dinner, auctions, live entertainment, and a keynote speech by Captain Ben Harrow.
YRF is a 501(c)(3) veteran service organization committed to supporting post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured service members, their caregivers, and families from every branch of the U.S. Military. Since its inception in 2005, the organization has provided essential support to over 40,000 military families, including 2,700 veterans and 2,000 caregivers annually, providing housing, transportation, and day-to-day life support.
“Looking back over the past 20 years, my heart fills with gratitude and immense pride for the work Yellow Ribbon Fund has accomplished. It’s truly remarkable to think that what began as a small group of local business members in a room at Walter Reed has evolved into a national organization, touching the lives of over 40,000 military families. While the landscape of global conflict may have shifted, the enduring needs of our brave service members and their families remain. We are deeply honored to continue standing alongside them, filling in the gaps of care and support they deserve. They have given so much, and we are privileged to reciprocate that commitment with heartfelt dedication,” said Gina Harrow, Executive Director.
The 20th anniversary celebration of Yellow Ribbon Fund began with a heartfelt welcome from Gina Harrow, setting the tone for an evening dedicated to our heroes. Sean, our engaging emcee, skillfully highlighted the organization’s mis-
sion and its profound impact on the community. Captain Ben Harrow’s keynote speech was a powerful testament to that mission. Sharing his own story of overcoming injury, he emphasized the enduring need for Yellow Ribbon Fund’s support, reminding us that the road to recovery for our injured service members is a lifelong journey.
The gala unfolded as a tapestry of memorable moments. Guests enjoyed a sophisticated cocktail reception, followed by the solemn and inspiring presentation of the colors. Jessica King’s stirring performance of the national anthem filled the room with emotion, and the evening culminated in an energetic celebration, with guests dancing the night away in 1920s style. We are profoundly grateful for the incredible generosity of our top-tier sponsors, who played a crucial role in the success of Yellow Ribbon Fund’s 20th anniversary celebration. Our heartfelt thanks go to founder Ed Quinn, Chairman Gary Bowman, Mark and Suzanne Matan, Zoe Lanham, EOG, Sal and Wendy Caragliano, Genevieve Murphy, Tripp and KathyAnn Shreves, Brett and Alyson McMahon, Admiral Tom Lynch, Tom and Andrea Lynch, Amy and Alan Goldstein, Al and Joni Goldberg, Ken and Arleen Grossman, Bob and Marcy Haupt, Jack and Jacqui Maloney, and A1A Limo. Their support was essential in making this milestone event a resounding success.
Next year’s Annual Gala, inspired by the enchanting theme of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, is set for Friday, February 27, 2026, at The Boca Raton in Boca Raton. To learn more about Yellow Ribbon Fund, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or X, or visit us at www.yellowribbonfund.org.

Maj. Gen. Hope C. Rampy, commanding general of the U.S. Army, delivered the keynote address. FAU President Adam Hasner, along with other FAU and military officials, were also in attendance.
“Florida Atlantic is proud to honor the accomplishments of its spring graduates and newly commissioned officers in the U.S. Army,” said Hasner. “Their call to service is an inspiration to us all. We are thankful to Florida Atlantic’s Army ROTC program for preparing the class of 2025 to lead boldly into the future.”
The 15 cadets, from the FAU–ROTC Talon Battalion, were commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army. They are as follows:
Ethan Barco – Cyber Corps
Tyler Bulmer – Ordnance Corps
Johan Cook – Medical Service Corps
Hunter Coveney – Field Artillery Corps

“We are honored to celebrate these exceptional military-connected students and ROTC cadets,” said Jason Nadolinski, director of FAU’s Military and Veterans Student Success. “While many students passed through commencement this semester, these select alumni continued beyond commencement to swear an oath of office to the U.S. Constitution and of service to our nation. Now, they proudly embark in their service professions as Florida Atlantic veteran Owl alumni and as leaders in the Commissioned Officer Corps of the United States Army. We are very proud of each of them.”

Boca Raton, FL – May 16. 2025 –Lynn University students, faculty, staff and alumni recently took to the stage to wow audiences for Celebration of the Arts – the dazzling annual showcase that has evolved from humble beginnings to sold-out success.
Over the years, Lynn University has played a role in helping shape music and theater in South Florida – and Celebration of the Arts is a prime example. Husband-and-wife duo Adam and Carrie Simpson, faculty members at Lynn’s College of Arts and Sciences, have been instrumental in the growth and success of the showcase. Together with Danielle Dale-Hancock, a former Radio City Rockette captain and New York Knicks dancer, the Simpsons lifted Celebration
of the Arts to new heights. This year’s performance once again showcased the talents of Lynn’s B.F.A. in Drama program. Each performer spent hours working on intricate choreographies to bring their talents onto the Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center stage. Audience members enjoyed hearing songs from popular movies, such as Mama Mia!, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, Frozen and Tangled, and songs from iconic artists, including Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and Elton John. Students paid homage to the late Chita Rivera and Hinton Battle with a dedicated act, and the show concluded with a medley of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits – and a standing ovation from the crowd!

Spend the Summer Launching Your Financial Planning Career
(StatePoint) Whether you’re launching a career in the financial planning profession or seeking professional advancement, summer is the perfect time to pursue CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification. Here’s why a CFP® certification is worth your time and how to go about pursuing it:
A Career With It All: Landing a dream job can sometimes require sacrificing a high salary, but a career in financial planning means not having to choose. It’s both a career that pays well and one where you’ll be able to positively impact the course of people’s lives. The median total compensation for financial planners in 2023 was $192,000. And CFP® professionals, with their competitive edge, earn 10% more than other financial planners.
A Promising Future: While inflation is causing many Americans to worry about their wallets, financial advisors are shielded from some of these concerns. That’s because their 2022-2023 year-to-year compensation outpaced inflation by 10%. With demand for financial professionals high and expected to grow, working toward CFP® certification can offer security in the years to come.
A Professional Difference: Many people with no credentials call themselves financial advisors. CFP® professionals, however, have met extensive requirements that prepare them
to competently and ethically advise their clients. They also commit to CFP Board’s ethical standards that require them to put their clients’ interests first. With 86% of consumers preferring an advisor who has passed a certification exam and rigorous education program, CFP® certification can position you to attract and retain clients.
A Flexible Process: CFP® certification is flexible, typically taking 18-24 months to complete. It requires completing coursework through a CFP Board Registered Program, passing an exam and gaining experience hours. For certification, you must also hold or earn a bachelor’s degree and sign an ethics declaration.
Ongoing Support: Available tools can support you during the CFP® certification journey.

How to Stay Cool During One of the World’s Hottest Anticipated Summers
(StatePoint) With 2023 and 2024 having been the hottest summers on record, there’s reason to believe 2025 will bring more of the same. But it doesn’t have to mean soaring energy bills or an overworked, outdated air conditioning system.
If you’re like many consumers, you’re looking for energy saving solutions, but may not be aware of all your options. A Midea survey conducted by Atomik Research found that 76% of homeowners agree that they are more focused on energy efficiency now than they were five years ago. At the same time, over half (54%) were unsure or unknowledgeable about the full capabilities of heat pumps, particularly their ability to provide both heating and cooling.
“Despite the name, heat pumps, are not just for heating, they’re also for cooling, and some of the latest models are engineered for even the toughest North American climates,” says David Rames, senior product manager at Midea. “As more homeowners make upgrades to prepare for increasingly extreme temperatures, heat pumps will be at the center of the shift.”
Unlike an air conditioner, which blasts cool air indoors, a heat pump actually removes hot air from the home and pumps it outside. It does the opposite during winter, transferring heat indoors instead of creating it.
One model redefining what’s possible in heating and cooling is the Midea EVOX All Climate Heat Pump, which delivers high performance, energy savings, quiet operation, advanced filtration and year-round reliability. Part of a system that was engineered to replace tradition-
al gas furnaces, its dual-fuel compatibility and inverter-driven system is flexible, integrating seamlessly with existing gas furnaces to offer a cost-effective upgrade without the need for a complete system overhaul.
Many people assume a high-performance heat pump will fall outside their budget. But cost-savings in the form of rebates and lower bills can make it well worth the investment. For example, in addition to delivering up to 32.5% energy savings compared to conventional HVAC units, those who install the Midea EVOX All Climate Heat Pump can qualify for up to $8,000 in federal rebates through the DOE Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program.
So what else can you do to keep cool at home in summer in addition to switching to a next-generation, ultra-efficient heat pump?
Sealing air leaks is just as important in extreme heat as it is in extreme cold. A quick, DIY visual inspection can identify leaks. And if needed, a professional inspection can give you a complete overview of how to improve your home’s efficiency. You can also keep your home cooler by investing in energy efficient appliances that reduce byproduct heat emission. Finally, in a heat wave, consider adjusting your habits. Limit the use of appliances such as the iron, oven and dryer to mornings and evenings, and use shades or blinds to reduce direct sunlight in your home’s spaces during the late morning and early afternoon.
With the right equipment and a few updates to your routine, you can stay cool at home all summer long.

Boca Museum’s Hispanic Heritage Chamber Welcome
Even the official proclamation from Palm Beach County Commissioners Maria Sachs and Marci Woodward got a standing ovation.
That’s how Boca Raton Museum of Art and other local VIPs welcomed the Hispanic Heritage Chamber of Commerce to a “special cocktail reception bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers from Broward and Palm Beach Counties to celebrate a shared vision for business prosperity, meaningful connections, and future collaborations across our vibrant communities.”
Greeting this Chamber Boca-style worked. A glass of wine, brief remarks and the proclamation were followed by a reception in the museum’s colorful lobby with hors d oeuvres by El Atico Colombian restaurant in Boynton Beach.
Hispanic Heritage board chair Carolina Veira and fellow board members mixed happily with elected officials like Boca city council, including Yvette Drucker, a proud first-gener-

ation Cuban who delivered her remarks in Spanish. Museum staff included the new executive director Dr. Ena Helle, and among the invited guests were State Sen. Lori Berman, Boca Chamber president/CEO Troy McLellan and Boca Raton Tribune publisher Douglas and Dini Heizer. Hispanic Heritage board members there present represent companies including Merrill Lynch Wealth Management and nonprofits like Kids in Distress.
A familiar face in Boca and the Boca Chamber, Mary Sol Gonzalez has moved from her role as co-founder and leader of Hispanic Entrepreneur Initiative known as HEI, to president and CEO of this chamber. She explained how this event came together with Tatiana Velasquez, the museum’s associate director for visitor services and special events: “Tatiana just joined our board of directors…When we met to talk about the chamber two months ago, she was open to collaborate and
loved the idea of the CREATE (Arts and Culture Committee) that she will chair. The Museum has been a member of the Chamber since 2023.”
Her successor at HEI, co-founder Yulimar Trumbo, was in attendance, as was HEI board member Simplify’s Erick Solms.
Here’s Mary Sol’s statement about her change to the Boca Raton Tribune. She made the official announcement on April 10: “After co-founding the Hispanic Entrepreneur Initiative (HEI) and witnessing its growth and impact over the years, I felt it was the right time to hand the leadership of the organization to my co-founder Yulimar Trumbo. I am confident she will continue to lead HEI with vision, integrity, and a deep commitment to its mission. As I step into my new role as President and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Chamber of Commerce, I remain deeply committed to fostering economic development and will always support and advocate for HEI and the entrepreneurs it serves.”

Public Chooses Delray Beach Artist Patricia Torras to Help Design New Old School Square Logo
Boca Raton, FL – May 19, 2025 –The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA), in collaboration with the City of Delray Beach, proudly announces local artist Patricia Torras as the winner of the Legacy Through Art initiative. Torras, a longtime Delray Beach resident, received the most public votes—4,006 out of over 10,000 cast—to inspire the new logo for Old School Square, the city’s iconic cultural arts campus.
Launched last month, Legacy Through Art was created to celebrate and revitalize the visual identity of Old School Square, home to the Cornell Art Museum, Crest Theatre, Creative Arts School, Amphitheatre, and Vintage Gym. More than 30 local artists submitted their original designs that reflected the spirit and story of the historic campus. A panel of art and design professionals narrowed the entries to three finalists—Jen Fisher, Kristin Pavlick, and Patricia Torras— whose work best captured Old School Square’s visual spirit.
During a three-week public voting period, Torras emerged as the community favorite, followed by Fisher (3,409 votes) and Pavlick (3,260 votes).
“I’ve lived and breathed Delray Beach for most of my life,” said Torras. “As a South Florida native, I’ve always drawn inspiration from the city’s color, architecture, and community energy. To create something so personal and lasting for a place I love—that’s incredibly meaningful.”
Torras’ logo concept features a colorful design, created in watercolor, and aims to capture the creative pulse and historic significance of the Old School Square campus.
She added: “Old School Square has
been part of my life for nearly 25 years. Whether walking along the Avenue or attending community events, this place has always felt like home. My design is a love letter to that experience—an expression of its legacy and its future.”
Torras will now collaborate with the DDA to develop a full suite of logos for each Old School Square venue.
