COMMUNITY NEWS LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

The Magazine That Cares

They distribute 20,000+ magazines/month in the following areas: Weston, Davie, Aventura, Plantation, Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Hollywood.

Our 10 combined community magazines mail over 205,000 magazines mailed to homeowners and local businesses. The most of any group of local magazines. This will allow all our advertisers to advertise from Aventura to Boca Raton.

media group. With their Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance and the best PET Insurance I have come across, they are gracing 2 of our 3 covers this month.

Lastly, regarding our upcoming charity events; all you golfers and those who wish to sponsor the Coral Springs Golf Tournament, held October 20, see their ad in our magazines and come on out to support the MLK Foundation. We are also giving away another 150 tickets to DISNEY ON ICE at the BBT Center for the weekend of September 13. All children charities are welcome to contact Lucy for tickets.

FINANCIAL / TAX ADVICE RobeRt Spielman, Cpa, JD

Two Ways To Maximize Your Charitable Contributions

T

here is seemingly no end to the solicitations we receive from qualified charitable organizations seeking our assistance. Solicitations come by regular mail, e-mail, television commercials, and through word of mouth with respect to organizations we may participate in, such as religious, educational, or social organizations. Our collective support of these institutions serves a growing need for assistance to needy individuals throughout our country.

While our collective generosity makes us all feel good, we also want to make certain we maximize our tax deduction, that also makes us feel good.

There is a myriad of rules regarding deductibility of cash contributions to qualified organizations, along with percentage limitations as to how much can be deducted against adjusted gross income, depending upon the type of organization you donate to. This brief column will address two specific subjects that are generally important to South Florida residents. The two subjects are: 1. What deductions is one entitled to if you volunteer for an organization and provide personal services?

2. If you make contributions of cash or tangible property, what type of substantiation do you need to secure, retain, and file with your tax return?

1.

Deductions for Volunteers:

We all know we are not entitled to any tax deduction for the value of services we may perform for a charitable organization. Even such a valuable donation as a pint of blood, while noble, does not entitle you to a tax deduction.

But volunteers to charitable organizations are permitted to deduct out-of-pocket costs incurred while performing their services, limited to the generally applicable rules and regulations for charitable contributions. Thus, if you perform services for a charity, and incur the following types of expenses, you will be entitled to a tax deduction: • Away from home travel expenses, including round trip travel, taxi, and transportation between airports, hotels and events, etc.

• If you entertain others on behalf of the charity, for example, to secure a large contribution, you can deduct the cost of entertainment. The cost of your own entertainment or meal, is however, not deductible.

• If you use your vehicle, while performing services for a charitable organization, you may deduct unreimbursed expenses directly attributable to such use.

Alternatively, a flat $0.14 per mile for charitable use of your vehicle is available.

• If you wear special uniforms when you do volunteer work and your uniform has no general utility, you can deduct the cost of acquiring and cleaning the uniform.

• If you incur miscellaneous expenses such as printing, extensive telephone use, mailings, or any other similar expenditures on behalf of a charitable organization, you may be entitled to a tax deduction.

10

SEPTEMBER 2017

Charitable deductions for the above expenses must be substantiated by a written acknowledgement from the charity if the deduction exceeds $250. You should secure an acknowledgement indicating the amount expended, category of expenses, and confirming you received nothing of value in return for your contribution.

If you are spending funds on behalf of a charity, it is important you secure written documentation from the charity about the nature of your efforts and the need for you to lay out funds for expenses. If you incur significant costs, it is recommended you submit the expenses, with receipts, to the charity for confirmation, even if they are not going to reimburse you. As always, maintain detailed records of all your expenses.

If your volunteer efforts are ongoing and expenses considerable, consider arranging with the charity for them to directly pay all of the expenses you incur during your voluntary service and reimburse the charity with a tax deductible payment for these costs. This may simplify the documentation requirements.

Great personal satisfaction flows from doing good deeds, but when you do good deeds and also secure a tax deduction, it can amplify your allocation of personal monies to charitable endeavors.

2. Substantiation for Charitable Donations: To support the tax benefits you seek, you are required to keep adequate records and secure substantiation for both cash and property donations. The following list is a brief guide to the rules and regulations. For more detailed information, see IRS Publication 1771, available on the IRS website.

Recent cases have denied taxpayers charitable donations for failure to secure and file required documentation with their tax returns. The greater the dollar value of your donations, the more important it is to secure the appropriate documentation and complete the required IRS forms.

www.ciTynEwSMagazinE.coM

COMMUNITY NEWS Cash Donations: Small cash donations are relatively simple. All you need to retain is a bank record supporting the donation, or a written receipt from the charity, indicating the charity’s name, date of donation, and the amount of the contribution. If your cash donation exceeds $250, you need to retain a copy of your canceled check and must secure a donor acknowledgement letter no later than the due date of the tax return. The written acknowledgement must state whether you received any goods or services in consideration of the donation. The $250 threshold is a per donation amount. Therefore, if you make several donations to the same charity throughout the year, but they total more than $250, you do not need to secure acknowledgement letters for your contributions.

Contributions of Property: Contributions of tangible property is an easy way to secure a charitable contribution deduction, so long as all rules and regulations are followed.

The general rules are as follows: A.Property donations valued at less than $250 should be substantiated by a written receipt from the charity, showing the organizations name, the date and place of the contribution, along with a detailed description of the property. You should also retain records that indicate the property’s cost basis and fair market value on the date of contribution.

B.Contributions in excess of $250 require more documentation. In this case, donors must receive a written acknowledgement from the charity following rules similar to above. If the charitable contribution exceeds $500, you must also complete Form 8283 and include it with your tax return.

C.For property contributions of $5,000 or more, a qualified appraisal must be secured and Schedule B of Form 8283 (the Appraisal Summary) signed by the appraiser and the donee organization.The schedule and form must be attached to the tax return. Extensive rules apply to the completion of Form 8283 and the contents required to be included in the qualified appraisal. The appraisal must be done by a qualified appraiser in accordance with generally accepted appraisal standards. The appraiser must have verifiable education and experience in valuing the specific type of property which has been donated.

D.If one is donating artwork or other high value property, strict adherence to IRS rules and regulations is imperative.

E.If the property donation consists of publicly traded securities, an appraisal is not required if there are readily available market quotations for the securities.

This brief column is intended to remind you there are tax benefits available to volunteers and for donations of cash and securities, as well as for personal property. In order to secure the deductions it is important you consult with your tax advisor to make certain you are meeting all the requirements needed to secure the deduction. Keep doing good deeds and supporting the organizations you trust with cash, securities, and personal property donations. But be sure you document your donations properly and file the necessary schedules and support with your annual personal tax return.

One of the most significant alterations to impact the region’s business community has already begun to take place. The boards of directors for the Coral Springs and Coconut Creek chambers have agreed to integrate both into one organization.

What does this mean? “Members of both will now be getting two Chamber memberships for the price of one -with even more member benefits,” she said. “There will be additional opportunities to grow and develop your network of business professionals, and both organizations will be able to participate in more events.”

“The integration expands the reach of both organizations by giving all of us a greater influence as the ‘voice of business in the northwest Broward area.’”

The Coconut Creek Chamber will be known as the Coconut Creek Chamber Council, she noted. “It will have its own board of governors as well as representation on the Coral Springs Regional Chamber’s board of directors.

The Coconut Creek Council will continue to have its own identity and will provide member-driven programs that are successful and foster engagement in the Coconut Creek community.”

Discussion of the planned integration began about a year ago, she said. “We talked about how best to serve the membership from an industry perspective. For both boards, it will be a great alliance for the future.”

Brief was employed earlier in her life as a certified public accountant following her graduation from City University of New York-Brooklyn College with a bachelor’s degree in accounting.

With little interest in continuing in that field, she moved to

“We conduct a lot of events,” she said. “We do a grand gala, we have a state-of-the-chamber meeting. We just had our legislative update breakfast.” She attended “Capitol Days” in Tallahassee and will be part of the Washington “Fly-up” to D.C. with the Fort Lauderdale Chamber, led by U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, the local Democratic congressman. The trip is planned the final week in September.

Within the Chamber itself, Brief has created a “Chamber University,” a business academy consisting of a six-month series of speakers addressing issues such as retaining employees and helping personal and professional developments. A panel of CEO’s will address the group about real-life use of negotiating skills.

South Florida in 1989 seeking part time work while she raised her two children, Johnny, now 30, and Josh, 26.

“When my youngest son was in kindergarten, I went to the [Coral Springs] Chamber of Commerce office which, at the time, was on Sample Road in a storefront. I knew the executive director; we had taken a tax review class together.”

“I told her I was looking for part time work and she said, ‘Do you want to work here?’” At the time, the Chamber was closed down, so Brief met someone who organized trade shows. “I got into the trade show business and opened my own company,” she said.

At the time, she did a trade show for the local Chamber and was asked to stay on and conduct sales. She spent three years in that endeavor before moving up to president.

In the executive position, Brief travels a lot on behalf of member businesses and works with other organizations and nearby Chambers. She noted that Troy McLellan, president and CEO of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, recommended her for the FACP position.

She has also helped create a NEXTgen organization, a group of under-40 business people who meet and exchange ideas. A recent NEXTgen session drew 40 to 50 speakers, which she called “a good response.” JM Lexus, a major area corporation, has signed on as a sponsor.

Brief noted that Vice-Mayor and City Commissioner Dan Daley, who is 27, helped set up NEXTgen for younger Chamber members.

The local president/CEO said the organization is also working with the city on the new downtown proposed at the intersection of University Drive and Sample Road. Not only does the Chamber support the new City Hall under construction on Sample Road, but also plans to relocate its offices there.

With Brief in the lead, the Chamber created a Professional Women’s Alliance (PWA), which brings female professionals together at bimonthly luncheons to hear educational and inspirational speakers.

Also, the Chamber has a Local Affairs Committee committed to advocating for Chamber members with the city, county and state.

A resident of Coconut Creek, Brief has also lived in Parkland and Coral Springs. Mark Ridings is her fiancé.

Varicose Veins? Might be More than Meets the Eye

BY MINDI RUDAN We’ve all seen them; on the beach, bulging behind summer shorts or marring the look of an otherwise great “gam” or worse---on our own legs in the mirror: Varicose or spider veins. Defined basically as veins that have become enlarged and twisted, the “bulge,” appears when valves or the pair of “leaflet valves” veins have no longer meet properly, and simply put, the valves just don’t work anymore. (Valvular incompetence.) This causes blood being pumped from your heart-- that the oft taken for granted, hard-working veins carry to and fro-- to back up, if you will, creating the unsightly bulge we know as varicose veins. Most common in the superficial veins in the legs, which are subjected to high pressure from standing, too much sitting, inactivity or the dastardly leg crossing, these veins can actually be found anywhere on the body, even the face.

While most people seek remedy for the cosmetic aesthetics, there’s much more reason to check them out—especially as we age. And while there are countless vein clinics, or even medical “spas” that offer to treat the malady, few bear the pedigree of board certified, world-renown cardiologist Ariel Soffer, founder of Soffer Health Institute, now with SIX locations. His professional credits could fill a page alone, but his personal passion for this field and his journey towards it--is much deeper. This IS the doctor who for FOUR years had an ABC News Health segment called “Dr. Soffer’s Second Opinion.”The same doctor medical companies still call to test and give input on new methodology, new tools, techniques and breakthroughs.

This IS the doctor who gives a seminar in New Orleans every year for 3-500 other highly skilled physicians who travel from all over the country to learn from him. HIS techniques, his innate diagnostic ability and gain his insight into this specialty. He’s that talented, and that committed.

And lucky for us, his SoFla locations are graced by him –and a hand-picked and trained staff every day. His website heralds almost rock star adoration from legions of patients, some whose lives have potentially been saved, and countless others he’s made more livable and enjoyable because of his “vein whisperer-ish” knowledge, talent and years of focused experience.

“He’s clearly the top of this pyramid,” offered Adam

Kustin, company spokesperson and someone who’s clearly enamored of Dr. Soffer’s skill and humility after seeing what he does every day. “In this field, he is as good as it gets, yet the man is so kind, so warm and so approachable, it has spawned the growth of this practice.” And call me crazy, but when you are talking about your vascular health, your overall well-being and your potential to enjoy living life, going to a “medical spa” to be treated for veins that work in tandem with your heart daily—SHOULDN’T be a crap-shoot. “You want the best,” said Kustin. “Two people can walk in with the same bulging vein issue, but there’s no way to tell if either has any real underlying health issues. It’s more than just cosmetic.” And Dr. Soffer’s ability makes sure patients don’t walk out just cosmetically beautiful, but walk out KNOWING there isn’t a serious hidden health issue that could be life threatening just down the road. “Sometimes people aren’t bothered by the bulging vein but they experience achy, very tired legs, numbness or restless legs and they never associate these “symptoms” with varicose veins. That’s why seeing a doctor as qualified as Dr. Soffer and his staff becomes so vital.”

And fixing the issue is relatively simple. “And pain-free,” he added. “Most procedures involve closing the vein, sometimes repairing it. The new lasers are very low risk, super accurate and extremely effective. We can also inject saline. It depends on the severity.” When asked why this doctor has made vein health his focus

when he clearly is still regarded as one of America’s top cardiologists, the answer brought staggering clarity and a character trait we all want in our doctors. “It was emotional for Dr. Soffer. He wanted to stop fixing the sometimes near unfixable issues in cardiology.

Instead he wants to help people prevent these lifethreatening issues BEFORE they take a toll. Before they compromise how a patient lives life …and he gets an immediate hug,” half-joked Kustin. “He SEES people pain free, enjoying life again who didn’t even know it was possible for them. They never connected the dots, he does.” With six offices locally, Deerfield Beach, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Aventura, North Miami Beach, Hialeah/Miami Lakes, Dr. Soffer is accessible.

His staff is multi-lingual, welcoming and most importantly willing to help people start the process.

FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CALL

954.900.9248 Soffer Health Institute began in Aventura and now there are several locations, including one in Deerfield Beach at 1877 W. Hillsboro Blvd. They plan to open a Weston location next. Members of the staff speaks Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, Creole and Portuguese.

LEGAL CORNER

BY ALAN J. REINDFELD, ESQ

I

Why do young families need a Revocable Trust?

n today’s society, it is important to plan for the future of your family. Every day, tragedy happens, from car accidents to people being diagnosed with cancer. It is important that there are plans to take care of your family in case the unexpected happens. Take me for example: my mother passed away from cancer in about four weeks, but because we had a trust I was able to focus more on her and healing then on the financial matters.

What are the benefits of having a revocable trust?

A revocable trust is a legal document that creates a plan of distribution of a person’s assets. A person sets up a revocable trust, i.e., a “living trust,” during his or her lifetime, which becomes irrevocable upon their death. This means that the person has the power to amend or revoke the trust only during his or her lifetime. During the person’s life, the beneficiaries may include the person him/herself, his or her spouse, children or other close relatives. Once the person passes away, the property that is titled to the trust is distributed pursuant to the terms of the trust.

2. Avoid Probate. At a minimum, probate administration will take over six months. The administration usually costs a minimum of $500 and many times can cost more based on the complexity.

There may be other fees and costs associated with administration.

1. Quick transfer of assets. A properly drafted revocable trust can help the decedent’s family avoid the time-consuming probate process. The person must re-title his or her assets into the trust; this is called “funding” the trust. If assets are not transferred to the trust prior to the person’s death, the only way to transfer any assets to the trust will be through probate.

3. Privacy. A revocable trust is a private document that does not require filing with the court. A will, however, is a public document that must be deposited with the court after the decedent’s death.

4. Trust assets are not subject to creditors. Assets properly put into a revocable trust are not subject to

most creditors. When a probate administration is opened, creditors may try to claim the money owed to them by filing a claim on the probate assets.

5. Focus on mourning. Avoiding probate and quickly wrapping up the affairs of the deceased helps focus on mourning rather than probate administration.

6. Name a person who will handle your affairs. A revocable trust along with a proper will allows a person to designate who will handle their affairs once they pass away.

7. Reduction of estate taxes. While a trust is not a tax savings tool, there may be some provisions included in the trust that allows you to transfer your wealth by establishing a credit shelter trust in the event of death.

3 Tips for Pet Parents and Their Pooches to Eat Clean Don’t forget to protect the furriest member of your family too.

CALL US TODAY! 954.580.8100 The “clean eating” lifestyle has grown in popularity, and now it’s making its way to pet food.

In a survey of dog owners, conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Mars Petcare, 9 out of 10 respondents said they try to incorporate clean foods into their diets at least some of the time, and 75 percent said their own eating habits have caused them to reflect on the quality of food they feed their dogs.*

“BEST PET INSURANCE I HAVE FOUND”

Terry Walters, best-selling author and dog owner, believes that clean eating – for both humans and pets – is about being mindful of what you eat and what you choose not to eat, as well as being more aware of the origin of the food in your diet.

Your Pets Will Love Us, We “Shih-Tzu” Not!

“I tell my kids that if you can picture how food grows, your body is more likely to know what to do with it,” Walters said. “That, to me, is the basis of clean eating – choosing foods as close to their natural form as you can find. The NUTRO™ brand has joined this clean eating movement with its NUTRO. FEED CLEAN™ philosophy, which allows you to share your clean eating lifestyle and values with your dog.”

- JERRY SPIELMAN OWNER CITY NEWS-BOCA’S BEST MAGAZINES

These are some of Walters’s favorite tips for both humans and pets to eat clean: •

Become more conscious of what you put into your body and how it affects your overall well-being. Keeping a food journal where you record what you eat, when you eat it and how it makes you feel is one way to recognize which foods are serving you and which are not.

•

Empower your family to make healthy choices by educating them about different foods and the nutrition they provide, and including them in everything from growing to cooking clean food. The more you know about your food, the healthier choices you can make and the more able you will be to achieve sustainable, good health.

•

Our four-legged family members deserve the best, too. Make eating clean a priority for the whole family, including pets. NUTRO. FEED CLEAN™ dry dog food recipes, made with non-GMO† ingredients, align perfectly with clean eating values and give dogs a nutritious diet that’s tuned exactly to their needs.

The NUTRO. FEED CLEAN™ philosophy promises pet owners a dry dog food with recipes that are simple, purposeful, trustworthy and made with real, recognizable, non-GMO† ingredients as close to their native form as possible.

Smart Choices

Fueling kids for back to school As kids head back to school, it’s a good time to refocus on nutritious food and beverage choices to make sure kids are properly fueled and ready to learn.

Making the best choices for her family is every mom’s priority, but it can be confusing to navigate all the options available.

However, many moms know how important milk is for their kids. According to the NOF survey, more than 80 percent of moms know milk is nutrient-rich. In fact, milk is the top food source for three of the four nutrients of concern identified by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans: calcium, vitamin D and potassium.

It can be hard to get enough nutrients without milk in your diet. Drinking dairy milk during childhood through early adulthood is important to help achieve maximum bone strength. It’s also important to drink milk as an adult to help maintain bone strength and density.

Most dairy alternatives don’t have the same nutrients as dairy milk and kids may not eat enough kale, spinach or sardines to replace the calcium in milk.

PER POUND

Lyons Rd

For example, many celebrity websites, diet books, blogs and popular social media feeds make it appear trendy to ditch dairy. Yet experts say going dairyfree has significant downfalls, especially for kids and young adults. A survey from the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) found 6 in 10 moms have tried restricting their dairy intake, and fewer moms encourage their kids to drink milk today compared to how many were encouraged to drink milk themselves as children – in fact, some are even restricting their children’s intake of dairy.

Prayer

BY DR. MIKE ROzENBLUM (GREEN CHIROPRACTIC) CALVARY CHAPEL FTL - MEN’S MINISTRY

So if God already knows everything, why do we even need to pray?

God existed before there was anything else, has everything under His command, is all powerful and after creation says in the book of Genesis, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;”. God created us to have relationship with Him. Prayer is simply defined as talking to God. Although God knows everything, like any Father, He still likes to hear the request of his children. As a Christian, I believe that the Messiah has already come. His name is Jesus, and while He was with us, He gave us an example of how to pray.

Here is a very modern translation of the Bible which highlights His example for prayer: “Our Father in Heaven, Reveal who You are. Set the world right; Do what’s best— as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty!” (The Message)

Here are 5 things to remember about PRAYER: 1. PROCESS. There really isn’t one. We can pray anywhere, anytime. He recommends praying without ceasing. It is always good to get your head and your heart right before praying. I also recommend to pray for others and not just ourselves.

2. POWER. Remember who you are praying to. God is all powerful. He created the whole thing. Which means He is the architect of everything. I rejoice in worshipping a God I don’t fully understand all the time. However, I know, based on evidence, that He has the power to do anything.

3. PRIVACY. We know that the Bible tells us that wherever 2 or 3 are gathered in His name, the Lord will be there. But I believe the most effective prayer is private.

Whenever I want intimacy with someone, I want it to be just between me and them.

4. POSTURE. Immediately, you think of the “right” posture during prayer. Prayer comes from your heart, so don’t worry about the position of your body. Instead, be mindful of the posture and condition of your heart.

5.PERSONAL. Make prayer real and not repetitious. No one has conversation where they repeat the same things over and over. It should be no different with God. Talk to Him as a Father or as a friend who sticks closer than a brother. He loves you unconditionally.

•

Adoration - God you are Awesome and I love you

•

Confession - You and I both know the dumb things I do. Please forgive me

•

Thanksgiving - I realize I have way more than I deserve. Thanks!

•

Supplication - Here is what I am asking from you. Only do it if you agree that it is best for me

If you’ve never talked to God, try it today. May He richly bless you as you enjoy great conversation with Him.
