Baby Otter Andre Dawson Aquatic Center Teaches Kids To Swim

Drowning-the number one killer of small children in south Florida, is being prevented by the Baby Otter Andre Dawson Aquatic Center. The Baby Otter Andre Dawson Aquatic Center, named after the Hall of Famer and former Miami Marlins Baseball player, is a traveling swim school. With their motto of “Our school, your pool”, they work to make students feel calm and comfortable in their own homes. Baby Otter was opened 40 years ago, when Marlene Bloom, co-founder, realized that her two-year-old daughter was being denied swimming lessons because of her young age. Continue on page 3

Baby Otter Andre Dawson Aquatic Center Teaches Kids To Swim From The Comfort of Their Home

Continue from page 1

Bloom knew that her daughter loved the water, but she did not want to put her in a pool without learning how to swim first. After being told by numerous swimming schools that her daughter was too young (under the age of 3), Bloom decided it was time to construct a swimming school that could teach young children how to swim. Now, Baby Otter has expanded. They kaitor to all ages, from eight-month-old babies, to senior citizens. They also help children with special needs, who have been turned away by other swimming schools. They travel to homes in Palm Beach, Broward County and Miami-Dade County. With their trademarked method of Turn, Kick, Reach, Baby Otters teachers their students how survive in the water in just five days. When asked how the program within five days, Bloom stated “We have a special curriculum every day. We teach the parents the proper technique so that they can practice with their children.” Cate Crehan, mother of two autistic children, had been turned away by several swim schools who guaranteed to help special needs children, without meeting her children. After being told that her children could not

learn to swim, Crehan was introduced to Baby Otter. Immediately, she knew that her family was in good hands. Crehans’s son, Indiana, who is nonverbal, has been spoken down to his whole life. The Baby Otter instructors, however, spoke to Indiana the same way they spoke his sister, Layla. The instructors held both children to high expectations, not treating them differently because of their special needs. Layla was able to swim within days of the lessons, and has become stronger and more confident. She is now on the special needs olympic team. When asked how the Baby Otter swimming classes have affected Indiana, Crehan stated that “When he is swimming on a regular basis, he is more concentrated, relaxed, and has the willingness to learn.” What separates Baby Otter from other swimming schools is the amount of emotional support and dedication to their students. According to Crehan, the school promised to stay with her children for no extra charge, to ensure that they were safe in the water. With the team’s six trainers, Baby Otters encourages people to reach their potential. They explain to students that with practice, they can only get stronger. By teaching the parents how to help their children on their

own time, students are constantly improving. Bloom explains that “It is an amazing experience seeing people change from day 1 to day 5.” Many of the school’s students never thought they would have the ability to swim. Parents of students with special needs tend to be emotional at the sight of their chil-

dren overcoming their disability, explains Bloom. She tells parents “I’d rather you cry today, than spend the rest of your life crying.” The Baby Otter Andre Dawson Aquatic Center guarantees more than swimming lessons, they instill confidence and hope to those who have never had that before.

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Give Teens a Lesson on the Dangers of Driving While riding along Gateway Boulevard Sunday evening, I saw a small car ahead of me with bodies and hands sticking out from three windows. As I got closer, I realized it was a carload of teens joy riding. They were enjoying the rewards of summer - spending time with friends and waving to other motorists as they traveled west along the busy street. They had no idea of how dangerous their actions were. My first thought: schools are out and these teens, with no parental supervision, have nothing but more free time on their hands. My mind quickly snapped back to my days as a reporter when I would religiously write about roadside carnage involving teens every summer. It was those experiences that led me to form the notion that teenagers are the most dangerous drivers on the road, particularly in their first year of driving. And there are statistics to support my belief

as they are almost four times more likely to be involved in a car crash than older drivers. As I drove past the car, I counted seven teens in the VW Jetta. The music was playing and they were dancing - shaking their bodies although tightly packed in the car. While I could not see if any of the occupants was buckled in, my instincts told me that most were not, since they were hanging from the windows. Although the car was not speeding, just the presence of teen passengers can be a deadly distraction for teen drivers. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for teens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And studies show that driver inexperience is the leading cause of crashes involving teen drivers. In fact, most crashes are not caused by teens who drive recklessly. Instead, teen drivers transporting two or more passengers are five times more likely to be involved in

a fatal crash. This may be because some were taking dares or showing off and some may be because they were just too embarrassed to acknowledge uncertainty in driving skills. The experts, however, say most of it is related simply to the increase in distraction provided by other friends in the car. The problem is so bad that some states, including Illinois, have limited the number of teenagers that can be in a car with a driver under 18 to one. Like those kids, there are hundreds of teenagers who will get behind the wheel this summer, with a carefree attitude and without even thinking twice about the dangers of driving. In light of what I witnessed, I am appealing to those parents who handed or are considering handing over the car keys to their teenage son or daughter this summer, please take a moment to discuss and

reinforce safe driving habits. I have since reached out to all the teen drivers in the KOP Mentoring Network program, in which I am a mentor, to remind them of the danger that awaits them on the roadway. The KOP Mentoring Network also recommends parents ask their teens to sign a “parent-teen driving agreement” spelling out the responsibilities of the teen driver and the consequences for breaking the rules. It’s a good way to start a conversation with your teen about safe driving as the summer begins. So parents, it starts with you. Educate your children about the dangers of driving, model responsible behavior and set reasonable but firm rules. C. Ron Allen can be reached at crallen@delraybeachtribune.com or 561-665-0151.

POSITIVE LIVING By Dr. Synesio Lyra, Jr.

Cooperation Brings Better Results! Persons who are used to work with others, easily recognize that for any effort to go forward, cooperation is an indispensable factor. This happens when one is ready to offer it, while the one needing it is equally willing to receive it! Cooperation is sought through a requested from others, most of the time, since people generally aren’t always aware of what needs exist, and how they can involve themselves in filling specific needs; some of these may be quite obvious to several, though not so to many other persons. It’s appropriate for those who perceive a need which they know they can help resolve, to offer their aid. There are also

situations when urgent needs don’t require anyone’s permission for help to be provided. If the need is obvious and critical, one is entitled to be proactive in dealing with it, often with a sense of urgency to ensure it doesn’t become an emergency, or turns into something beyond repair. Most of the time, true cooperation is an internal disposition, whereby individuals show themselves always ready and willing to contribute their skills, their knowledge, even their sweat, to promote a cause, to meet a specific need, and to advance an effort that’s progressing too slowly but, with the loving aid of others, can be brought to full fruition with greater effectiveness and

rapidity. Although there is a legitimate place for competition in several activities, cooperation is something best carried out without the spirit of competitiveness; it simply means a group of individuals, or sometimes just one person, offering the kind of labor that helps guarantee the completion of something worthwhile, especially a project that will make a vital difference in a human life, or in the experience of many more. As each person in a cooperative group effort discharges his/her best, no jealousy should invade that honorable activity; the work of each is important, without which the total picture would not be achieved

for the benefit of one or many, and to the sight of those who contemplate it from the outside! Learn to be a more giving person; don’t refuse to be a team person; join a reputable organization that concentrates on such projects, and do your part regardless of how little it may appear to you. We are daily surrounded by situations begging our attention, by needs requiring what we are capable of offering, but also by people next to whom we can make a lasting impact via an indelible contribution we can make!

Clive Daniel Hosts Groundbreaking Ceremony For New Home Showroom

Boca CFO Accused of Stealing More than $300K from his Employer

Mark Butters, Deputy Mayor Robert Weinroth, Jeremy Rodgers, Mayor Susan Haynie, Daniel Lubner, Clive Lubner & Malcolm Butters

By Aaron Tefel

Clive Daniel held a ceremonial event on June 23, 2015 in recognition for the new home showroom they are opening in Boca Raton. This new store, which will be located at 1351 Boca Raton Boulevard, is Clive Daniel’s second operation and will hold the distinction of being the first store to be located on the east coast, where the original is based in Naples. Clive Daniel’s Boca Raton home showroom plans on opening its doors in early 2016. Malcolm Butters, CEO of Butters Construction and Development (the company that is tasked with building the new Clive Daniels furniture showroom), spoke about how he feels about the new store and how its location in the Boca Raton area will be crucial to its success. “We are really excited,” Butters said. “This is the largest retail project for Boca Raton and it ties in nicely with the building boom going on currently in Downtown Boca. The new store will tie in the residential and commercial really well and serve Boca homeowners for their furnishing needs.” Butters also talked about how Clive Daniels isn’t your typical furniture store and how its sets itself apart from the competition. “I think Clive Daniels will do really well,” Butters said. “It is contemporary and very stylish. People from all around the Palm Beach area will definitely like it as it is very reminiscent of furniture stores in the Design District in Miami or other luxury stores in New York and Los Angeles. It definitely

stands out from the competition.” Daniel Lubner, President and CEO of Clive Daniel Home, also talked about why opening a store in Boca Raton was a must. “Opening a store in Boca Raton was never an ‘if ’ but simply a ‘when’,” Lubner said. “We have stayed very close to the developers, builders, and design community. Boca is literally our second home and we look forward to being able to get back to being a regular part of the community.” Lubner went on to shed light on why he believes Clive Daniel Home is a unique establishment. “We have a total home approach to our interior design services,” Lubner said. “The 70,000 square foot space is much more than a furniture showroom. It’s more of a design emporium. We will have the most eclectic assortment of the country’s finest manufacturers. We will also have vintage furniture, architectural salvage, flooring, lighting, kitchens, high end gift boutique and the finest rug collection in the state. What makes us really special is our focus on interior design.” According to a press release from Clive Daniel Home, the $12 million facility will employ about 65 people, which includes 25 professional interior designers and the inclusion of the company’s Hospitality Division. This new store is planned to be the “springboard” for additional expansion on Florida’s east coast, where Lubner said that there are currently plans for future stores, but they will not act on them until the Boca Raton store is fully operational.

The chief financial officer of a Boca Raton advertising firm is accused of embezzling nearly $330,000 from his company. Charles Abel, 50, of Palm Springs, was charged with grand theft and money laundering. He was released from the Palm Beach County Jail after posting a $100,000 bail. According to the arrest report, Abel, who served as the CFO of Hutton-Miller, 1200 S. Rogers Circle, devised the scheme, which included using unauthorized checks and wire transfers to divert the money from the company to his personal account. He also made unauthorized purchases on the company credit card and frequently padded

his paycheck, police said. The alleged theft occurred over three years, according to the report. Once he became CFO, Abel converted the accounting files from paper backups to electronic, his bosses told police. He also recommended they fire a part-time bookkeeper, police said. As CFO, Abel had access to all financial documents including tax filings and employee benefits, according to the report. He also was responsible for payroll, controlled all cash management functions and was responsible for journal entries to expenses and revenues, according to the report. Abel, who earned $104,000 annually, was hired in 2011, according to the arrest report. Police began their investigation in February 2014 after the company learned of his actions through a phone call from their bank. They looked into the tip, confirmed a crime occurred and notified authorities. A company executive told police that when they confronted Abel, he admitted to stealing from the business. Abel told police investigators in February 2014 that he used the money to help buy a home for his family in the Parkland Golf and Country Club. He also used the company’s credit card to pay his son’s tuition to Temple University in Philadelphia, to take vacations and to repair his Land Rover, according to the report. The estimated value of the theft was about $500,000, but investigators could only connect Abel to $329,913.77

Group of Del Prado Students Help Underprivileged Kids

Good Grades, Conduct Result In Boat Cruise

Everyone wants to help the world, but making a positive change is not always easy. When a human being is able to overcome their selfish instincts, and better their communities, it is a remarkable thing. This is even more remarkable when a class of 4th graders do it. Hanbi is a rising 5th grader at Del Prado Elementary School, where she is working to help underprivileged children. Mrs. Singh, Hanbi’s teacher, assigned her 4th grade class the Light Warrior Project- a project designed to have students give back to their community. Hanbi, along with her two classmates, Shelly and Roma, decided to sell homemade bracelets and charms, in an attempt to raise money for the Children’s Home Society of Florida. The Children’s Home Society is dedicated to helping neglected and abused children find support, security, love and guidance. What started with some Polymer clay and a good idea, quickly turned into a determined effort to raise as much money as they could before the school year came to a close. Hanbi began spending at least two hours every day after school crafting, baking, cooling and glazing charms. This was not a short process, and many of the charms would come out broken or cracked, making 10-year-old Hanbi have to repair or remake several charms. After Hanbi would finish a batch of charms, the job would be passed to Shelly and Roma, who would fashion the charms onto bracelets. The sales began at school, where the girls would collect $.50 per bracelet. After witnessing how popular the product was, the students decided to start selling on the weekends too. Going door-to-door, the girls were very successful in sales, often selling more than July 17 - July 23, 2015

one bracelet per person. Many customers gave donations for the cause, some ranging up to $20.00. Hanbi’s siblings, Richard and Ariel, also helped the girls in the selling process. This process went from mid-April to the end of the school year in early June. As Hanbi’s mother made the arrangements to meet Mary Ensor, the Resource Development Specialist at the CHS in Ft. Lauderdale, Hanbi and her siblings collected their gently used books and clothing to donate, along with the money raised. According to Ensor, some of the children that come into the Children’s Home Society live in extreme poverty. Having things of their own helps them feel safer in an uncontrollable situation. Ensor states that Hanbi and her friends “Went above and beyond” with their contribution to the organization. The students put a lot of detail into their work and are very interested to know how they are helping to make a difference. On June 2, 2015, Hanbi and her friends were able to present a check for $320, books, clothing, and a box of bracelets made as a gift for the neglected and/or abused children. Ensor told Hanbi that the money raised would go towards the children’s therapy, safety and education. “The $320 will go towards the funding of the key services and programs that work to end the cycle of abuse and neglect” says Ensor. “What we give to them is a hope that there is something good in life.” Said Hanbi in an essay she penned for her classmates. In addition to Hanbi and her friends, other groups in her class held car washes and lemonade stands, donating all the proceeds to several animal shelters and foundations for different illnesses.

While many students were indoors playing video games or outside shooting hoops on Tuesday, a select few of Delray Beach’s brightest young men and women earned the privilege of sailing along the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway from Delray Beach to Boca Raton and back. At the beginning of the school year these students from Carver Middle, Lantana Middle, Atlantic High and Village Academy schools were given a challenge: finish the school year with A and B averages and they would be rewarded with the cruise and lunch at the esteemed waterside Deck 84 restaurant. As the students arrived at Veteran’s Park, one by one, their smiles were brighter than the sun’s rays beaming down from the cloudless blue sky. Before boarding the 50foot Sundancer Express cruiser, the focal point of the day was reinforced. “Today is all about you, this is your moment,” said Bobby Cannata, chairman of KOPMN, and a mentor with the organization, told the 16 students. “You have earned this day through your hard work and good conduct this year. Congratulations, I am proud of you!” KOPMN organized the event, which was sponsored by Dan Bradbary, a local resident who offered his boat, and restaurateur Burt Rappoport, owner of Deck 84. Through incentives such as boat cruises and airplane rides, the KOPMN shows students that performing well in the classroom leads to memorable rewards in life. As the boat left the dock, the students looked ahead in awe of the Intracoastal’s beauty. They beamed with joy when Bradbary allowed each student to drive the boat along the Intracoastal. A few of them

basked in the blazing sun on the bow while they got the complete experience of the waterway’s magnificence. As they went under the Spanish River, Linton Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue bridges, the students raised their hands in the air, simulating the same exhilarating feeling one gets from riding on a rollercoaster. Their hard work in the classroom was being recognized and their appreciation for the reward was evident in their eyes. As they passed by the large waterfront homes the students and chaperones were in awe. “I have never seen a house that big,” said Zyrka Carter, 13, a student at Village Academy. These students were being exposed to more than just a beautiful day on the water. They were being exposed to a lifestyle that they could one day hope to attain. “These people all started somewhere,” said Bob Rossman, a mentor with KOPMN, said of the owners of the waterfront mansions. “It is important that these students realize that anything is possible through hard work and dedication in the classroom.” After their experience on the water, they moored at Deck 84 where they had lunch. Each student was delighted to hear that they could order anything off the menu. By the end of the lunch, each student showed their appreciation for the cruise and lunch by thanking all of the chaperones for accompanying them throughout the day and making this trip possible. “It’s obvious that all these people care about us when they take time out of their day to take us on a boat ride and out to lunch,” said 17 year old Atlantic High School student Geovani Martinez.

Alas poor Amy Winehouse, we hardly knew ye. Thanks to the new documentary “Amy” we understand better the pain behind your songs. “Amy” is a documentary film by Asif Kapadia, who grew up in the same unfashionable north London neighborhood as Amy Winehouse. He previously collaborated with James Gay-Rees (producer) and Chris King (editor) on the acclaimed 2010 sports documentary “Senna,” about F1 driver Ayrton Senna. Using archival footage, “Amy” depicts the Award-winning singersongwriter from childhood to her untimely death at age 27 on July 23, 2011 of acute alcohol poisoning. Amy Winehouse was not your typical British schoolgirl. Born into a blue-collar Jewish family, her parents split when she was just 9. From a very early age Amy showed she was special. One of the first clips shows her singing “Moon River” at age 16, accompanying herself on guitar. She was already an accomplished performer, but “Amy” is not as much about the artist as it is about an abused, tortured soul, much like Janis Joplin in America. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that both died at age 27, as did fellow tortured artists Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain. It seems like Amy was abused and taken advantage of by everyone close to her. The worst offender was her own father Mitch, who neglected her as a child and cashed in on her when she got famous. There were

other villains, particularly her boyfriend Blake, who became her husband and codependent drug addict. “We were like twins,” Amy muses. “We were in love. Love is a real drug.” The hard part of making this documentary was getting people close to Amy willing to talk about her. Tenaciously Asif Kapadia stayed on the case and got people to open up. In some cases I am sure they regret being so candid. While she was a brilliant songwriter with a rare and beautiful voice, Amy was emotionally damaged before she ever was famous. She was rebellious and unruly. She also was a rare and wonderful artist As her fame grew, alcohol became a favorite escape. It is a cruel irony that her first worldwide hit was the “Rehab Song,” with its chorus of “No, no, no.” Her 2008 album “Back to Black” won a stunning five Grammy Awards, tying the record for female artist and making her the most successful female British singer-songwriter in history. If there is anything to be learned from “Amy” it’s that certain people just can’t handle extreme fame. Sadly Amy Winehouse was such a person, and no one did enough to prevent her self-destruction. The great Tony Bennett, who recorded duets with Amy, provides a beautiful, regretful tribute to a once-in-a-lifetime talent that provides a fitting finale to the film. Rating: 

FAITH

By Mike Gora

By Robert J. Tamasy

Do As I Say, As I Do As I Say Did you ever work for someone that had the disconcerting tendency of instructing you to do something one way, and then proceeding to act in a manner contrary to what you were told? I remember an oft-repeated saying, "Do as I say, not as I do." This applied to work practices, personal habits, even values. The problem is, when people say one thing and then do the opposite, something gets lost in translation. Perhaps it might be better to be able to tell others, "Do as I say, as I do as I say." In their book, Leadership Lessons of Jesus, Bob Briner and Ray Pritchard state, "Leaders are always teachers...you must teach with authority. You must be prepared. You must know what you are talking about." But then they add, "A leader's words, as vitally important as they are, will only go so far and impact so many unless they truly represent the reality of his or her life.... Effective, enduring leadership calls for both precept and example." The intersection of teaching and action also was the subject of a poem by English-born poet Edgar Guest. Here's a portion of "I'd Rather See a Sermon:" I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day: I'd rather one would walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye's a better pupil, and more willing than the ear, Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear.... And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true, But I'd rather get my lesson by observing what you do. For I may misunderstand you in the high

Home School

advice you give, But there is no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.... And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today, Is not the one that tells them, but the one that shows the way. Aligning belief and action is a recurring theme in the Bible, which some regard as the greatest book ever compiled for the business and professional world. Here are some passages about this: Living out what we believe. Expressing high-minded principles and values without practicing them ourselves is hypocritical."What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds?... Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead" (James 2:14-18). Applying the principles. We not only teach and demonstrate, but also expect those who follow us as leaders to put what they learn into use themselves. "Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put it into practice"(Philippians 4:9). Passing on truths of value. We should not only back up what we say by our actions, but also pass them along for others to apply in their lives. "And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others" (2 Timothy 2:2).

We have twin girls. We lived in another state until the girls were in second grade. We then moved to Boca Raton, so that I could take a job offer, a significant advancement in my career. My, wife, who had been teaching elementary school in our old home state, looked into public elementary school education in our neighborhood. She was not happy about what she found. We cannot afford a private school. She suggested home schooling the children. I am against it, and told her so. I didn’t want the girls to grow up and be educated without having the benefit of having to deal with other children of the same age, and teachers who were not their parents. We compromised. We agreed that the girls could be home schooled, through fifth grade, but would go to a public middle school, and high school when the time came. Our agreement was not written. Our daughters have completed fifth grade for the 2012-2013 school year. My wife and I are going through a divorce, in which I filed the petition. She has, conveniently forgotten our verbal agreement, and insists that she be allowed to continue home schooling, at least through middle school, and, perhaps, high school, which I do not want her to do. Can the judge in our divorce case address this issue?

A: Your children’s best interests must

be taken into consideration by the judge. That consideration will, if properly raised by the pleadings, include the school issues. If your petition for dissolution of your marriage does not specifically raise this issue, your lawyer should file an amended petition. If your petition did not raise the issue but your wife’s counter-petition did, that would be sufficient once you denied her request in your answer to her counter-petition.

Since your daughters are half way through fifth grade, the judge will have time to decide what happens next, before your girls are ready to enter middle school, next fall. Your attorney and your wife’s counsel will have to be prepared to put on a case that addresses either of the judge’s choices. The judge can either make a choice between the public middle school and home schooling based upon an evaluation of the success of the home schooling verses the quality of the middle school available in your neighborhood. The State of Florida grades the schools through the FCAT process. Testing is available for children being home schooled. If the judge goes in that direction he, or she, may want the decision to cover high school as well, unless you and your wife can agree on that issue in advance. The judge is going to look for a way to end the case that will not bring it back into court after three years, for a high school determination. The second alternative available to the judge would be to delegate to one of you, total control over all educational matters, even though you will have shared parental responsibility on other matters. You or your wife would, under such a final judgment, not be required to consult or agree with the other on any further school decisions. There is no way to accurately predict which method the judge will use. Your wife may have an edge, as a schoolteacher. However, if progress tests show that your children under perform public school children in progress tests, you may be the parent selected to make the decisions. It would be wise to have private and/or public testing, or both given to you daughters, as soon as possible, so that this issue can be intelligently litigated and discussed when you sit down with your attorneys and a mediator.

”Cheers to 90 Years!” is the cry heard ‘round the community to announce the 90th birthday of the City of Deerfield Beach, and the Deerfield Beach Historical Society is excited to announce a gala birthday party to be held in its honor! The event will take place on Saturday, October 17, beginning at 6:00pm at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Deerfield Beach, located at 100 Fairway Drive. The event will celebrate the City’s rich history since its beginning in 1925 and the possibilities of the future, with all proceeds benefitting the Historic Butler House Restoration Project, the home of the DFB Historical Society. Along with a poolside cocktail hour and a delectable dinner, the night will be an eclectic and electric evening celebrating Deerfield Beach, including: recognition of History-making leaders, businesses, and volunteers and tribute to DFB High School being designated an “A” school; live and silent

auctions by Auctioneer-extraordinaire Neil Saffer; inaugural performances by the Historical Society-sponsored, “Young People’s Player’s Theatre Group” and “Adult Theatre Group”; production by Zazz Entertainment; announcement of new programs by the Historical Society; and, lots more. This unique celebration is presented by members and volunteers of the Deerfield Beach Historical Society and the City of Deerfield Beach, along with generous financial support from Frank Congemi. In efforts to raise funds for the Historic Butler House Restoration Project, the Historical Society turns to the community for support at this special event. The project goal of $300,000 will ensure the installations of code-approved and historicallymandated doors, windows, new roof, and renovations to the interior and backyard of Butler House. If you are a business in Deerfield Beach or the surrounding areas, you will not want to miss this opportunity to sponsor, attend, and use this event to foster special relationships to the community.
