Space is the biggest hurdle we face as we try to save lives. We are building a new facility designed to have everything dogs need to recover from their pasts of pain and heartbreak. Our dogs will have space to roam, play, swim and grow in our new 33-acre cage-free, home-like environment.

OUR DREAM “I want to wake up one morning without an inbox full of dogs on death row,” says Lauree Simmons, President of Big Dog Ranch Rescue.

“I wish I could fund it all myself, but I unfortunately can’t.” With the help of generous hearts in our community, we will build a safe haven for abandoned and neglected dogs that feels like home, so that when their fur-ever family walks them through their own front door, the transition will be stress-free and happy as can be. Though there’s no place like a fur-ever home, these dogs deserve a temporary place to feel safe, loved and at home with us at Big Dog Ranch Rescue.

About Big Dog Ranch Rescue

Big Dog Ranch Rescue is the largest no-kill dog rescue in the southeast. We save all sizes and breeds in hopes to one day end the senseless euthanasia of dogs simply due to space and time. Our goal is to give the gift of life to as many dogs as humanly possible, enrich the lives of those who adopt them, and in doing so, help create a better world.

We’ve saved over 13,000 lives to date, and are currently raising funds to complete the building of our new, 33-acre, cage-free rescue campus on Okeechobee Boulevard in Loxahatchee Groves. With the completion of this new facility, we will save thousands more lives.

Letter from the Editor Dear Readers, Friends and Supporters!

We present our cover, WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL OF Palm Beach, Inc. with Vice Chairwoman Carol Jaeger And Chairman of board Douglas Evans.

Rose Glamoclija understands as well as anyone the importance of dealing with health professionals who are focused on meeting the specific needs of the client.

This is her goal at Boca Nursing Services, which she launched over 20 years ago after spending time as a registered nurse who worked with private patients.

“Continuity is very important to our clients,” Glamoclija says. “It’s comforting to know that someone who understand what you need and want is always available to help.”

To help ensure continuity of care and provide peace of mind for her patients and their families, Glamoclija developed a team approach designed to provide each client with a team of caregivers.

“When I first meet with a patient, I immediately have an idea of which caregivers will make the best team,” she says. “We’ve discovered that there is a high degree of patient satisfaction that results from matching the right team to the patient.”

At Boca Nursing Services, it’s not unusual for a team of caregivers to stay with a patient for many years. “Whether they’re at home or in the hospital, our clients are able to live more enjoyable lives thanks to the team approach,” Glamclija says.

AIM Holographics Is the First Company to Bring Hologram Technology to Businesses and Organizations

A

i

m

Holograms are no longer limited to Star Wars’ fiction or posthumous appearances by musicians. Artistry in Motion (AIM) Holographics is offering its patented holographic projection technology to a variety of industries from retail to hospitality, fundraising to funeral services.

artistry in motion holographics, inc.

The company offers multiple sized units to fit any use and budget. Recently the company debuted its theatre-sized stage product.

Thanks to AIM technology, anyone can record their own special message so they can appear as a hologram in front of future generations.

A business searching for a ‘WOW factor’ to distinguish itself from competitors now has a unique option once exclusive to the entertainment industry. AIM technology has never before been offered in the commercial space.

Some examples of commercial uses include: new ways to honor or recognize a foundation’s most prolific donor, a head-turning hologram during an industry convention that will make attendees stop at a company’s booth, retail outlets who wish to feature a product as a hologram in the front of a store so shoppers can help but enter to see the real thing.

The technology even allows companies with multiple locations to more interpersonally communicate while limiting or eliminating travel. For instance a CEO in Palm Beach can simultaneously speak to and interact with staff or clientele in offices from Seattle to Toronto to Paris.
