Third “One Boca” Open House Set for October 22 Amid Strong Community Interest Following strong community turnout at its first two workshops, the One Boca planning team has announced a third open house to gather additional public feedback on the proposed downtown government and Brightline campus redevelopment plan. The next workshop will take place Wednesday, October 22, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Spanish River Library, offering residents another opportunity to meet with the project team, review design concepts, and share input on the future of the 30-acre cityowned site. In late September and early October, the One Boca team hosted two well-attended community sessions, drawing more than 200 residents who engaged in discussions about land use, public spaces, and the balance between civic development and recreation amenities.

COMMUNITY Here’s Entire Lawsuit Filed Against SaveBoca By Marci Shatzman Do you want to know more about the lawsuit trying to block SaveBoca’s legally approved voter question on the March 10, 2026 Municipal Ballot? You can read it for yourself. See below for a link to the entire lawsuit. Briefly, the suit says: “It is obvious that this was not an error, and that Save Boca and Pearlman intentionally placed that brazenly false language in the CO’s recitals and used it all to induce each person to sign.” Complaint v Save Boca, Pearlman, PB SOE and City of Boca Raton (2) Download Here’s SaveBoca founder Jon Pearlman’s reaction: “This isn’t a lawsuit, it’s an opinion about a proposed law that 7,700 people in Boca signed to put onto the ballot. Our lawyers have reviewed what was submitted and are confident that this lawsuit won’t have
any impact whatsoever on anything. Everybody followed the law with respect to everything that was done throughout the entire process. Ev-
and the Supervisor of Elections meticulously checked each and every signature that was submitted to verify it was valid. After all of this was done, a certificate of sufficiency was issued on October 2nd by the City of Boca Raton, which guarantees that the historic charter amendment to protect Boca’s public land and parks will be voted on by the citizens at an election to pass into law.” The lawyer who filed the suit did not respond to The Boca Raton Tribune’s request for an interview. Here’s the Palm Beach County Supervisor Elections’ statement: “When it comes to municipal petitions, the extent of our involvement is that we certify is ery petition circulator signed an affi- whether the voter who filled out the davit that attested he or she witnessed petition, per their voter registration reeach and every person sign, the City cord, lives within the boundaries and of Boca followed all of the city’s laws, if their signature matches.”

Boca Helping Hands Needs Help Feeding 4,000 Families for Thanksgiving
CART OON Kudos… Now Accountability
Low Power
By Lisa Benson
oplus_16
Boca Helping Hands is seeking support from the community to distribute meals to families for Thanksgiving. Its 21st annual Thanksgiving Box Brigade program, which provides a turkey, and a box filled with everything a family needs to prepare a holiday meal, will feed approximately 24,000 people. Members of the community can get involved by donating the cost of a box for $29.72 at bocahelpinghands.org/ thanksgiving. One in nine people in Palm Beach County are struggling to put food on the table.Rising food costs, housing expenses, and stagnant wages have only intensified the need for hunger relief programs in Palm Beach County. According to the 2024 Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed (ALICE) Report for Florida, 46% of Palm Beach County households struggled to make ends meet, with 12% of those living below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and 35% earning above the FPL but not enough to afford the most basic budget. “We recognize the difficulties many families are experiencing, and my wife, Anita and I are proud to once again support the Thanksgiving Box Brigade this year,” said east Boca Raton sponsor Bob Kriensky. Other Thanksgiving Box Brigade supporters include the Overall Sponsor, Dalfen Industrial. East Boca Sponsors are Oct 16 - Oct 23, 2025
Bob and Anita Kriensky; West Boca Sponsor is Humana; Boynton Beach Sponsor is Purity Wholesale Grocers Inc.; Delray Beach Sponsor is Vertical Bridge Charitable Network; and the Lake Worth Sponsor is Avalon Bay Communities. Boca Helping Hands will distribute the turkeys and Thanksgiving meal boxes to current Pantry Bag Program clients the weekend before Thanksgiving (Nov. 22 and 23) at its five drive-thru distribution locations in east Boca Raton, west Boca, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and Lake Worth. “We are deeply appreciative of the way that the community helps each year with their food drives and Thanksgiving box donations,” said BHH Executive Director Andrew Hagen. “Thanks to them, families who might not have had enough money to afford to celebrate can now share a holiday meal together.” Although there has been tremendous community support for the Thanksgiving Box Brigade program, food insecurity remains a problem yearround – especially now with reductions in funding for food. Any contributions that exceed Thanksgiving expenses will be used toward our food programs throughout the year, helping to support the 181,000 families in Palm Beach County facing food insecurity.

FAITH
By C.C. Simpson
By Rick Warren
For many of us in the marketplace, our work – what we do – is a large part of our identity. What impact should it have then when striving to incorporate faith into how we carry out our vocational responsibilities? We find the best example in how Jesus Christ addressed this when choosing His closest followers. When Jesus called Peter and Andrew, He did not strip them of their identities. “And He said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men’” (Matthew 4:19). Jesus did not say, “Forget everything you know.” Instead, He spoke into their vocation as fishermen and redefined it: “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” In essence, He was saying: Everything you’ve been shaped by – your skills, your instincts, your daily grind – I can use that. But now, for something eternal. Jesus did not replace their identity; He repurposed it. And this is precisely how He calls us today. We often assume that following Jesus means walking away from the career, the training, the story we have lived up to this point – as if being His disciple requires starting from scratch. But that is not the Gospel. The call of Christ is not to abandon our past, our skills, our experience, but to surrender them. It is not about becoming someone else – it is about letting Him redeem who we already are. God has sovereignly authored your experiences, your gifts, your network, your education, and even your struggles. To discard them would not only be wasteful – it would be unfaithful. It would imply that God has not been at work all along preparing you for usefulness in His Kingdom. But He has been at work. Always. I witnessed this firsthand during my time with the United States Secret Service. The mission was demanding: to secure environments, protect lives, anticipate threats. I took that mission seriously. But I began to realize that God had not called me out of that mission to serve Him – He had called me to filter it through my faith. One day, deep in the Cambodian jungle, we were preparing for a visit by
the First Lady, the President’s wife. It was an advance site. But God had other plans. That day became the starting point of forming a Gospel-centered relationship with another agent from New York. That conversation, born out of professional proximity, turned into years of mentoring, prayer, and discipleship – until the Lord ultimately called my friend and fellow agent to his eternal home. The whole thing unfolded not in spite of my profession, but precisely through it. This is how Jesus Christ works. He does not waste a moment of your story. The very things you thought were secular, irrelevant, or “just your job,” might in fact be the very instruments through which He calls others to Himself. So don’t think the invitation to follow Jesus means leaving everything familiar behind. It means placing everything you are and everything you have been given into His hands – and trusting Him to repurpose it for His glory. You were gifted for a reason. You have been placed where you are on purpose. To separate your calling from your context is to misunderstand both. The call of Christ is not to discard your story; it is to declare a new purpose over it: Same hands. Same instincts. But… New mission. New Master. © 2025. C.C.

God’s Voice Brings Peace
Being Repurposed, Not Replaced
Oct 16 - Oct 23, 2025
Editors C RON ALLEN DINI HEIZER KARTIK KRISHNAIYER
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) If you feel overwhelmed or confused about a decision you’re trying to make, you might be wrapped up in yourself and not listening for God’s voice. The Bible says, “God is not a God of disorder but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33 NIV). He is not the author of confusion. When God speaks, it doesn’t create anxiety and worry. In fact, it creates the exact opposite. One sign you’ve heard God’s voice is when you’re in the middle of a storm—everyone else is worried and running around—yet you have a peace you can’t explain. That’s a sure sign you’re hearing from him. His voice gives you peace. So if you’re feeling confused, guess what? It’s not God’s voice speaking. If you’re a parent, do you want your kids to feel pressured or confused when you ask them to do something? No. You want them to understand what to do and then respond in obedience. God the Father wants the same thing for and from us. If you’re feeling some anxiety and pressure, it might be because God’s told you to do something, and you keep saying “no.” That’s when pressure does build. But there’s always peace when you say “yes” to what God’s asking you to do. Satan wants to drive us compulsively, but God wants to draw us compassionately. Satan wants to take advantage of our compulsions and use them to drive our lives. But God is our Good Shepherd. He wants to draw us in toward himself and experience his peace. A pastor I deeply respect—the late Peter Lord—used to say, “Ninety percent of what God wants to say to you is encouragement.” If negative messages are all you ever hear from God, something’s wrong. If you can’t sense God’s peace about something as you’re listening to him, or if you feel like God’s told you to do something but you’re increasingly anxious because of it, something’s not right.

The Bible tells us, “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT). You can count on this: When God speaks, his words bring peace, not anxiety. Talk It Over What decision do you feel troubled or anxious or worried about? Do you believe this is something God told you to do? Think about a decision you’re facing right now. What part of Philippians 4:6-7 are you already doing, and what part do you need to start doing? What has God told you to do that you haven’t obeyed? What has been the effect? Maybe you’ve never heard God speak to you. John 8:47 says, “Whoever belongs to God hears what God says” (NIV). That’s the mark that you belong to God. You can hear him. Do you belong to God? If you’ve never been saved—never stepped across that line and put your life totally in his hands—I have good news! You can settle this right now and begin a relationship with the God of the universe today. Just say something like this: “Dear God, I want to know you. I want to hear your voice. I want to know what you want me to do with my life. I don’t understand it all, but I thank you that you love me, that you made me, and that you’ve shaped me for a purpose. Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, to the cross to pay for my sins. Thank you for your forgiveness. Show me the things in my life that are keeping me from knowing and hearing you. I want to confess them to you now. I ask you to accept me into your family and help me follow you and trust you from this day forward. Please let me hear your voice and feel your presence. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.” If you just prayed to accept Jesus, please email me at Rick@PastorRick. com and let me know. I’d like to send you some free material to help you start your journey with Jesus.

SOLVITUR AMBULANDO
By: Claudia Catherine
By: Douglas G Logan
Are We Living Longer, or Just Taking Longer to Die? I was sitting at one of those pristine cafés the other day, sipping a latte that cost a figure that would have baffled my younger self, and I couldn’t help but notice the scene. Sun-bleached linen shirts, flawless tans, conversations buzzing about golf swings and the latest gallery opening. In communities like this, it seems we’ve cracked the code on the good life. We’ve traded snow shovels for sand buckets and grueling commutes for leisurely strolls. We’ve aimed for a long, comfortable life, and by all accounts, we’ve hit the jackpot. But as I watched a gentleman who looked remarkably spry for his eighty-something years meticulously polish his already gleaming convertible, a thought nagged at me, one that felt almost blasphemous in this sundrenched version of paradise: We’re so focused on adding years to our life, are we forgetting to add life to our years? It’s the question bubbling just under the surface of our modern success story. Medical science has been phenomenal. We’re living longer than ever. A baby born today has a life expectancy that would have been the stuff of science fiction for our grandparents. We’ve stretched the timeline, pushed the finish line further down the road. But what are we doing with that bonus time? Is it a victory lap filled with joy and purpose, or is it just… more? More time to feel a bit lost, a bit irrelevant, a bit like we’re waiting for the credits to roll. This isn’t about being ungrateful. It’s about being honest. We spend the first two-thirds of our lives on a frantic treadmill: school, career, family, building, accumulating. We’re driven by deadlines and promotions. Then, one day, the treadmill stops. The 7 a.m. alarm is silenced. The endless stream of emails dries up. And in that abrupt stillness, a new, unfamiliar question arises: “Now what?” For many, especially those for whom career success was a defining feature of life, this transition can be jarring. We’ve shed the title of CEO, of lawyer, of doctor, and we’re left with… us. Just us. And sometimes, we’re not entirely sure who that is without the
business card. It’s a peculiar kind of identity crisis, one that happens when you’re financially secure and have all the time in the world. This is where the conversation needs to shift from lifespan to healthspan. It’s a term researchers are using, and it’s brilliant. It’s not just about the number of candles on your cake; it’s about the quality of your life during those years. It’s about being able to not just live, but to thrive. To wake up with a sense of purpose, whether that’s mentoring a young entrepreneur, volunteering for a local cause, or finally writing that novel you’ve been dreaming about since college. And let’s be frank, this isn’t just a philosophical debate; it has real-world consequences for our mental health. We’ve gotten very good at keeping our bodies going, but our minds and spirits need just as much attention. The void left by a high-powered career can’t always be filled with tee times and happy hours. A lack of routine and a missing sense of purpose can be as detrimental as any physical ailment. I spoke to a friend recently whose father, a retired executive, was feeling adrift. “He spent 40 years building a company,” she told me. “He was ‘the guy.’ Now, he’s just a guy. A guy with a beautiful condo and a perfect golf score, but he feels… invisible.” His story isn’t unique. He had a plan for his finances, but not for his fulfillment. So, what’s the answer? It’s not about finding another treadmill. It’s about discovering a new path, a walking trail with a beautiful view. It’s about understanding that our value isn’t tied to our productivity. It’s the courage to be a beginner again — to take that painting class, to learn a new language, to join a book club. It’s about nurturing the social connections that go deeper than a passing nod at the clubhouse.
On Leading Management arranges what exists. Leadership shapes what might endure. I stole those two sentences from a recent essay by Brooks Williams, City Manager of Ferris, TX, and a Doctoral Candidate. In a bitingly concise way they contrast the differences of these two tasks. A good manager controls the now, the Status Quo Ante, what currently is there. A good leader focuses on the vision, what could be, and the path to get there. Managers have legal pads with scores of itemized tasks. Leaders grab the balance sheet, dream of the possibilities and are change agents. Frequently a senior executive will be hired by a naive employer to do both. It is incumbent upon the ‘hired gun’ to find a way to delegate management tasks. The surest way to fail as a leader is to get mired in the day to day. I mentor a lot of young people who are confused by the difference. “I do a great job of managing my team. I’m a leader!” Maybe, maybe not. The ability to control resources, human, fiscal or logistic, does not necessarily make for good leadership. Something significantly greater is required. Michael Eisner was a great leader of Disney in the latter years of the last century. He was able to be that for two reasons. He curbed his instinctive tendencies to micro-manage. And, he was able to delegate the operating control of the company to a terrific manager,
Frank Wells. When Wells died in a skiing accident, and Eisner became more involved in Disney’s management, the enterprise went through tough times. I get asked all the time whether I’m surprised by the great success of Major League Soccer. My immediate answer is no. I knew, from my first day on the job as Commissioner, that my most important job was to “shape what might endure”. The vision then was pretty much aligned with what exists today. That included my first major decision. I indicated to the Board that in hiring me they were approving moving of the League headquarters from Los Angeles to New York. LA made no sense to where we were going; top tier status. New York was the nexus of the sports industry. It made a lot of existing staff members, particularly those wedded to beaches and surf boards, pretty unhappy. But it was a necessary change to achieve the vision. My first CEO posting in Rockford allowed me to flesh out these concepts. Although my title was “General Manager”, I saw the job as that of a leader, and my Board agreed. I encouraged the community to think “big” and put aside civic inferiority complexes. Some of what I shaped endured; some did not. But I tried. I have been amazed that so many senior executives are clueless of the difference between managing and leading.

Cancer Survivor Achieves Eagle Scout Rank, Continuing Family Legacy Dean Peoples, a pediatric brain cancer survivor, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouts BSA. His achievement makes him the fourth Eagle Scout in his immediate family and the 127th in the history of his troop. For his Eagle Scout Service Project, Dean organized a Share-A-Meal event and renovated the laundry rooms at the Ronald McDonald House at Orlando Health, where he had spent three months during his treatment in 2018. In late 2017, Dean was diagnosed with an ependymoma tumor at the base of his brain and underwent emergency surgery to remove it. A second surgery a week later resulted in cerebellar mutism, a condition that temporarily left him without the ability to speak or move independently. Pediatric ependymoma is rare, with only 200–300 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. The specific type of tumor Dean had is associated with one of the lowest long-term survival rates, and he was given a 60–70% chance of five-year survival. Doctors also cautioned that he might never fully recover his speech or motor functions. Despite the prognosis, Dean made a remarkable recovery. Four months after his diagnosis, he returned to ele-
ship, Dean is an honors student at Dr. Joaquin Garcia High School and is active in his church, Scout Troop 13, and Venturing Crew 2013. Dean attributes much of his recovery to his involvement in Scouting. “It gives me challenges and friendships that push me forward,” he said. “Life to me isn’t about money, cars, or where you live—it’s about living on the edge and finding comfort where others wouldn’t. Scouting helps me test my limits”. Leaders in the Scouting community have praised Dean’s determination. “Dean’s journey represents the very best of Scouting—resilience, service, and leadership in the face of adversity,” said Bianka Cullen, Development Director of the Gulf Stream Council, Scouting America. “We are incredibly proud of Dean and his family for showing how Scouting builds strength, character, and hope that lasts a lifetime”.

Boca Extends Downtown Campus Partner Agreement By Marci Shatzman All five Boca Raton city council members voted to extend their interim agreement with the Terra & Frisbe Group on the downtown government campus plan until two months after their referendum would be on the March 10, 2026 Municipal Election ballot. Minutes before adjourning the city council meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, the vote was called after a discussion of the implications. The resolution “authorizes the city manager to execute the First Amendment to the interim agreement term from Oct. 31 to May 1, 2026 to allow for a referendum on the project at the March 10, 2026 election.” Mayor Scott Singer emphasized support for the extension “doesn’t create any obligation from the city or the partner” to accept a new downtown government campus plan. The 75-word referendum on the election ballot has to
be submitted to the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections by Dec. 5, according to staff. Earlier in the meeting, Ron Frisbie announced his team “was out listening to the public and
making adjustments to our plan.” The developer held two public meetings and will hold a third soon, he said without mentioning a time or date. “We want to make sure we can continue the dia-
logue,” he said. But speakers for SaveBoca organized opposition at this and two earlier city meetings Tuesday called for the city to terminate the Terra & Frisbie agreement entirely and immediately. “Why do you keep passing this?” founder Jon Pearlman asked in public comment sessions. He cited SaveBoca’s successful 7,000+ signature petitions validated by the county supervisor of elections. That allowed SaveBoca to have their own March 10 ballot question calling for no public lands can be sold added to the city charter in perpetuity. Other SaveBoca speakers Tuesday objected to Terra & Frisbie flyers they received in the mail under the OneBoca banner, calling them “misleading.” “We can do this ourselves. Let’s chill out. We don’t have to do this right now,” one speaker who spoke several times said.
Retired Attorney Files Lawsuit to Halt Boca Raton Ballot Measure on Downtown Redevelopment By Kartik Krishnaiyer A retired Boca Raton attorney has filed a lawsuit seeking to block a ballot initiative tied to the city’s controversial downtown government campus redevelopment plan. The lawsuit, filed Monday in Palm Beach County Circuit Court by longtime resident Ned Kimmelman, challenges an effort by the advocacy group Save Boca to amend the city charter. The proposed amendment would require Boca Raton voters to approve any sale or lease of more than a half-acre of city-owned land. The news was first reported by TapInto Boca. Kimmelman’s complaint names Save Boca, its founder Jon Pearlman, the City of Boca Raton, and the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections as defendants. It accuses Save Boca of using “egregious material falsehoods” to persuade voters to sign petitions to get the measure on the ballot. The lawsuit also claims the pro-
Oct 16 - Oct 23, 2025
posed charter language is “ambiguous, misleading and confusing to voters,” and that it violates state law. The lawsuit also alleges the petition drive misled voters, circulators, election officials, and the city itself. The initiative grew out of strong
community opposition to the City of Boca Raton’s plan to redevelop roughly 30 acres of city-owned downtown land in partnership with private developers, Terra and Frisbee. The project calls for new residential and commercial buildings, a modern city hall, a community
www.bocaratontribune.com
center, and some public green space. It was also controversial since the city pushed back publicly on the “Memorial Park” designation as a World War II memorial on the property. Critics including Save Boca say the plan hands too much control of public land to developers and undermines the city’s “City Within a Park” identity, while supporters argue it will revitalize underused public land and “modernize” the city. Save Boca organizers have gathered enough verified signatures to place the charter amendment on a ballot, though local and county officials have yet to decide whether it will appear in a special election in December (when State House District 90 is having a Special Election)or during March’s municipal vote. City officials and other defendants have not yet filed responses to the lawsuit.

Third “One Boca” Open House Set for October 22 Amid Strong Community Interest By Kartik Krishnaiyer Following strong community turnout at its first two workshops, the One Boca planning team has announced a third open house to gather additional public feedback on the proposed downtown government and Brightline campus redevelopment plan. The next workshop will take place Wednesday, October 22, from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Spanish River Library, offering residents another opportunity to meet with the project team, review design concepts, and share input on the future of the 30-acre city-owned site. In late September and early October, the One Boca team hosted two well-attended community sessions, drawing more than 200 residents who engaged in discussions about land use, public spaces, and the balance between civic development and recreation amenities. During the workshops, participants were seated in small groups with project representatives, reviewing maps and site plans while discussing possi-
ble improvements to public facilities. Residents voiced a range of ideas about how to enhance Boca Raton’s downtown civic area while preserving its green spaces and community character. Feedback from the sessions reflected several recurring themes and points of agreement:
Site layout: Many residents expressed a preference for locating new development on the east side of the campus while keeping civic buildings, recreation facilities, and open spaces on the west side. Memorial Park: There was broad consensus on formally memorializing
www.bocaratontribune.com
and improving Memorial Park to serve as a premier destination for veterans and their families. Civic and cultural buildings: Participants supported modernizing community and cultural facilities, emphasizing the need for an updated community center that serves residents of all ages. Green space and trees: Attendees unanimously supported maintaining or expanding green space, preserving six iconic banyan trees, and enhancing recreation areas for children and families. Design style: Residents favored Mediterranean or Mizner-style architecture for any new civic buildings, reflecting Boca Raton’s traditional aesthetic. City officials and the One Boca project team said community feedback will continue to play a key role as plans for the downtown campus evolve. Additional information about the open house and future engagement opportunities will be available on the city’s website.

BUSINESS Update on New Boca Raton Regional Hospital By Marci Shatzman
If you’ve been around the Meadows Road medical campus you can see for yourself the new Boca Raton Regional Hospital is well underway. And CEO Lincoln Mendez gave Boca Chamber members an update on the Gloria Drummond Patient Tower opening, and showed renderings of the interior at the Chamber’s monthly breakfast meeting early Thursday. The new building will add 427 all private rooms, 20 operating rooms, a two-story atrium lobby and a second-floor entrance directly to the parking garage, Mendez said, showing renderings on a large screen next to the dais. A June 2026 opening is expected, and then they’ll start renovating the current building, he added. Boca Regional is a nonprofit, so Boca Raton Regional Hospital Foundation is their fundraising arm, and Mendez credited president Mark Larkin for generating enough philanthropy to add floors to the new building. Since Boca Regional joined the Baptist Health network in 2019, they’ve completed two parking garages, most lately the Eleanor R. Baldwin with 360 spaces across from the hospital’s ER and serving the adjacent new Toby and Leon Cooperman
Medical Arts Building, Mendez said. Also on the property is an energy plan that can power the hospital for seven days and provide backup as well, he added. A therapy unit with 14-foot thick walls to house one radiation machine in a bunker is expected to come onboard in March to enhance therapy for Lynn cancer patients, he said. Bap-
tist Health opened a 24-hour freestanding emergency care center in Mission Bay in West Boca last year that’s an alternative to the hospital’s ER, especially in season, and averages five transfers a day to the main hospital, he said. Boca Regional also sponsored the monthly breakfast, this one in the Embassy Suites ballroom. It was Town
Center at Boca Raton general mananager Sal Saldana’s final breakfast as Chamber chairman after two years. The “torch was passed” at their recent gala to incoming Chamber chair Clara Bennett, executive director of Boca Raton Airport, Chamber president/CEO Troy McClellan announced. The next major Boca Chamber event is Season 7 Truist Golden Bell Battle of the Bands on Saturday Oct. 18 at BRiC. Tickets are still on sale. http:// www.goldenbellbattleofthebands.com/ Four bands made up of South Paalm Beach County business professionals battle it out on stage in front of a live audience after taking lessons from the School of Rock Boca Raton. The event raises money for the Chamber’s nonprofit Golden Bell Education Foundation that provides grants to Boca Raton public school for teacher and student programs that promote business skills and workforce readiness. The Chamber and Golden Bell are partnering with Rotary Club of Boca Raton Sunrise for the 38th golf tournament in Boca Grove on Nov. 10. Longtime Golden Bell chairman Chuck Stout will be honored. https://www.rotarybocasunrise.org/
Marci’s Boca Raton Marriott Refresh Story By Marci Shatzman
I don’t usually do a first-person for a business story like this. But the ribbon-cutting and reveal for the Boca Raton Marriott at Boca Center’s new renovated guest rooms and amenities refresh was worth sharing this experience. Guests for the ribbon-cuttings met for drinks and bites like charcuterie at the hotel’s open-air and covered Drift at Sonrisa casual restaurant venue. It’s in the back of the hotel that faces the Boca Center with its restaurants and boutiques. Disclosure: We’re still involved with our university, Temple, the other Oct 16 - Oct 23, 2025
Owls (not Rice), and our Philly liaison always stays here because of the food and location accessibility. As renovation guests gathered, we got called up to the hotel’s top 12th floor in groups to the presidential suite. The view from the window when you get off the elevator was the best I’ve seen in 25 years covering Boca as a reporter. You could see all the way to Fort Lauderdale. The suite we visited has separate spaces for privacy, so more than one guest can eat, sleep, shower, work and watch TV. You can see by the photo with a king-size bed and floorto-ceiling window with a view, that was my favorite room. The suite was the setting for two ribbon cuttings, the Marriott’s staff and Ron Wichowski, this Marriott’s former general manager promoted to senior vice president of operations and food & beverage for the brand, who everyone in public life knows here. Most of his staff is still here. Not surprising and another disclosure. My husband’s last job before he retired was national
public relations director for nine hotel brands. His best gig experience by far. Still in touch after decades with the people from his “three Amigos.” Ron thanked Palm Beach County commissioner Marci Woodward for attending, and noted the Boca Chamber breakfasts often has their monthly breakfasts in their ballroom. It’s not often that Mayor Scott Singer and Boca Chamber CEO/president Troy McLellan attend a ribbon cutting. They were there, too, with 30 Chamber ambassadors. The annual Boca Raton Bowl, ESPN Event’s upcoming college football matchup held in FAU stadium as the venue on Dec. 23, will host one of the teams again, the Marriott’s general manager Marta Cieszynska-Rekosiewicz told The Boca Raton Tribune. Here’s the stats for the redo: 259 guest rooms include the full upgrade of 243 standard guest rooms, 11 executive kings, 4 suites, and one Presidential Suite, as well as all elevator landings, guest corridors, and common ar-

MUNICIPAL Boca City Councilman Wigder’s Campaign Kickoff By Marci Shatzman
His campaign slogan is Keep Marc Wigder Boca City Council, and the balloons and signs outside Tap 42 restaurant in the Boca Center let supporters know this was the site of his recent campaign kickoff. Wigder is running for a second term for seat B. He also chairs the city’s CRA, Boca’s downtown district. So, he’s been outspoken in public meetings about his stance on the downtown government campus plans. He was that night, too. “Some people say ‘stop.’ Do nothing. Go backward. I’m investing in our children’s future. Are you with me?” he said to applause.
A father of three, his wife Fran spoke about Marc’s attention to detail and work ethic. Bob Tucker, executive director of Boca Raton Police Foundation, introduced Wigder and read his bio. A large contingent of Boca Raton police officers in matching T-shirts, not in uniform, attended. He’s endorsed by the Boca Raton police union, FOP Lodge 35. Wigder is an attorney and the founder and president of The Greenhouse, described as a Boca Raton-based company focused on sustainable and efficient solutions for small businesses. He has an MBA from Yale, and a law degree from New York Law School. He chairs the city’s Audit Selection Committee and is on the Pine Crest School Ambassador Council. Here’s his campaign website: https://www.marcforboca.com/ The only candidate also running for Wigder’s seat B so far is Meredith Madsen. Jessica Gray initially filed to run for seat B but reregistered to run for seat D against former county mayor and a former Boca city councilman Robert (Bob) Weinroth.
