When he established the company on Spring Street in the heart of New York’s

a woman of eclectic tastes who supervised his early education and greatly
influenced his views toward fine wines. Until her retirement, she had served as
head of the household staff of the late Pope Pius XI, and is distinguished as the
first lay person ever to hold that post.

Banfi Vintners is the sole U.S. importer of the Mariani family’s internationally

Placido, Riunite, and Sartori from Italy, Concha y Toro and Emiliana from Chile,
and Trivento from Argentina, Wisdom & Warter Sherries from Spain and Stone’s
Ginger wine from England. The company has ranked as North America’s leading
wine importer for more than three decades and that’s why we want you to have

On the Courses
Respecting the Course
Golfers will go to great lengths to improve their
golf game but not their golf course. Why? We buy
new equipment to hit it further, try strange training
aids to cure our putting problems, watch instructors
on the golf channel and believe we now know why we
make bad shots and rush to the driving range to try it
out only to find out — damn, that’s not it. How about
we put the same energy and time into taking care of
our courses?
It is time to stop pretending that we all do enough
to repair the damage we do to the course and tell
ourselves it is always the group ahead or behind that
leaves the course in bad shape. It is every golfer on
every shot that has to do a better job. When every
golfer does not bother to fill a divot or two during a
round that leaves over a THOUSAND unfilled divots
after just one day and it keeps multiplying every day!
The same happens with ballmarks. Who wants to putt
over thousands of unrepaired ballmarks just because
some golfers won’t bend down to repair their damage?
Enough is enough. Do we really need a seminar or a
color handout with a scorecard to tell us what we now
have been told since the first day we played a round of
golf? Of course not. A golfer respects the course. Let’s
take pride in how we the membership, take care of our
golf courses. Remind yourself and everyone you play
with to do their part during each round of golf. No
excuses! You can find your ballmark, you can take sand
with you to each shot and you can rake your footprints
as you leave the bunker. It is that simple. These are all
things we keep saying should be better. The “we” is us,
the members.
Thank you for making a fresh start and doing
your part and reminding others to do theirs.
Good Golf and Good Health!

Something Special is Happening
at Boca West Tennis
By Joel Schlesinger, Tennis Committee Chairman
During the December holiday, all the courts were
in action each and every day. Game Arranging
interest was exceptional and our tennis professionals were
fully booked giving lessons. The highlight goes to our
“Under the Lights” World Class Tennis Exhibition held on
Christina
Sebastien
December 19 that saw approximately 260 attend and enjoy
McHale
Grosjean
an entertaining evening of tennis, music and Italian fare.
My special thanks to our own Duby Petrovich, Head
Tennis Professional, Christina McHale (World #52), Sebastien Grosjean (former World #4) and Donna Vekic
(World #82).
The date to be circled is Friday, February 13 at 10 a.m. Joining us for another terrific exhibition will be Justin
Gimelstob and Mark Philippoussis. The Tennis Channel will be there as well.
• Justin Gimelstob American, he was the top-ranked boy in his respective age group at the ages of 12, 14, 16, and 18.
As a pro, he won the 1998 Australian Open and 1998 French Open mixed doubles titles with Venus Williams as his
partner. Won a total of 10 singles titles and 15 doubles championships. He is currently a coach to John Isner and is a
regular commentator for Tennis Channel. Lastly, He was entered into the Southern California Jewish Hall of Fame in
2005. In 2006 he was inducted into the MetroWest Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in New Jersey in 2006.
• Mark Philippoussis Australian, 11 career titles and achieved a high rank of #8 World (’99).
The other important date of note is the February 17. Our Director of Tennis, John Joyce, has been nominated
for the Tribute Award awarded through The Delray Beach Open by the Venetian along with nine other
distinguished people for their exceptional passion and dedication to support the growth of tennis and
community outreach in South Florida. That evening the winner will be announced on Stadium Court. The
winner will be interviewed by Tennis Channel with 32 million followers watching. Unfortunately the vote ended
January 9, so we do not know the outcome. Regardless, John has made all of us at Boca West proud and he is
a winner in our book.
Lastly, we will soon begin our Boca West Tennis Championships. Look for more information on this in the
coming weeks. Perhaps you would like to come down and see a few matches (avoid mine).
See you on the courts!

Choosing the Right
Spa Provider or
Personal Trainer
By Bert Wellman, Chairman
Your Club offers a variety of programs for your health and well being and sometimes it can get confusing
as to who you should schedule your massage, facial or personal training session with. Here are a few tips that may be helpful when making
your next appointment and also once you arrive for your session:
1. Once you determine what days and times are best for you, check with either the Spa (488-7880)
or Fitness (488-6944) Reception areas to see what appointments are available to match your needs.
2. Try a variety of Spa or Fitness personnel to keep things fresh and interesting.
3. Let the Spa or Fitness Reception staff know if you have any special needs that your Provider needs
to be aware of (i.e. injuries, illnesses, etc.) that may require you to schedule for another day.
4. Check your balance history to see if you have any unused Gift Certificates or Series purchases.
5. Be sure to ask the Spa or Fitness Reception staff if it is required to fill out any special paperwork (i.e. Facial
Questionnaire, Health History, etc.) prior to your arrival so you can make all the necessary arrangements.
6. If you are feeling ill, please let the Spa and Fitness staff know as soon as possible to avoid any cancellation
fee. This will also allow the staff to offer your time slot to someone else on a waiting list.
7. Ask any questions you are thinking about if this is your first time getting a Massage, Facial,
Body Treatment or Personal Training session to address any concerns.
8. Let your Spa or Fitness provider know if you have any specific health issues (i.e. Diabetes,
High Blood Pressure, Vertigo, etc.) that may be a factor during your session.
9. Arrive early to your Spa or Fitness appointment, especially during the busier times of the season to avoid
any delays in starting your session.
10. Ask the staff professionals how often you should schedule your appointments to keep a healthy balance
with any problematic areas that are challenging you.
We look forward to seeing you at the Sports Center and Spa!
Please join us for Boca West’s
Annual Sweetheart Stroll
Saturday, February 14 • 8 a.m. on Boca West Drive
Sign up is not required.

C o m m i t t e e
By Bob Locke, Finance Committee Chairman
Last year and early 2014/2015 results
were excellent
For the 12 months ending September 30, 2014 Net Income was $1,225,200 compared to $1,611,900 for the prior year.
Total revenue was $50.8 million versus $48.9 million.
Non-operational items were a positive $1,405,100 million against budget and were primarily due to fewer nonpaying members,
not using reclaimed water and smaller than expected Arvida cleanup costs offset by $500,000 paid to the Masters Association
and $218,000 in consulting costs associated with a planned new computer system for the club.
Operating Income was also ahead of budget by $462,600. The year’s positive change was due to significant improvements
against budget in payroll and related expenses and in the Food & Beverage department.
Our cash balance at the end of September was $30.0 million compared to $28.3 million for the prior year after paying $4.5 million
to construct the new parking deck.
As of September 30, year-end sales of homes to new members were 112 compared to 88 for the prior year. Due to these increased
home sales joining fees increased 27% to $5.3 million from last year`s $4.1 million.
At the end of last year, 50 members had not paid their 2013/2014 dues. This compares to 64 the year before. The 50 unpaid
members are the cumulative totals still outstanding for the last 7 Years.
For the first two months of this fiscal year, Net Income was also ahead of Budget by $650,600 which included Non
Operational adjustments of $564,900. The primary components of the Non Operational adjustments were associated
with the late arrival of foreign staff and $250,000 still owed to the Masters Association for this fiscal year. Total revenue
was $8.2 million versus $7.9 million.
Cash at the end of December was $17.7 million versus $16.1 million in the prior year.
As of January 19, 2015, sales and pending contracts of homes to new members were 27, which equaled last year at this time.
In addition, 66 members have not yet paid their 2014/15 dues compared to 82 for the prior year against a budget of 75.
Of the 66 members who have not paid dues there are 32 left over from the prior seven years. There are 19 golf players who
have downgraded. The 2014/2015 budget includes 50 downgrades. The comparable amounts for Tennis are 17 against
a budget of 25.
Our strong financial performance over the years has given us a club that has dramatically improved its facilities with no assessments
and no food & beverage minimums unlike all of the other communities in this area. We all know that property values are down but
just think about what they would be without all the new construction, upgrading and replacement of facilities and the improvement
in our lifestyle that has been made over the last 10 years.
Based on last year`s results and early results this year, I am confident that we will again have a strong year.
G r i e v a nc e
C o m m i t t e e
By Harvey Krauser, Chairman
A member was seen by retail staff and the retail shop camera stealing from the golf shop. The member entered the golf shop with an empty folded Boca West plastic retail
bag in hand and took the item as well as a pair of slacks into the fitting room; however, only the slacks came out of the fitting room. It appeared to the retail staff that
there was something in the plastic bag and the item they saw go in the fitting room was missing from the shop.
As soon as the member was notified of the incident and a grievance being filed a very remorseful letter was sent to the Club with a sincere apology.
After a thorough investigation and several discussions with the member involved, the Grievance Committee determined that this member is not a thief but is suffering from
severe depression due to several life changing circumstances. Therefore, rather than a maximum suspension as has been done with other cases of theft in the past, the
committee recommended and the Board approved suspension of Club privileges for three months and suspension from any Boca West retail area for six months.

As I am writing this article the beginning of January, the club is
a buzz of activity with our children and grandchildren visiting.
Your Membership department activated over 3,500 Guest and
Offspring Cards over the December two week holiday period.
It’s such a thrill to see so many people here enjoying the Club
with their family.
After all these spectacular Club experiences and memories created, why end it
with just a short visit. Now is a perfect time for your Offspring to join the Club
and have a place of their own.
The Club offers a payment plan for the Joining Fee for all member’s children
and grandchildren. This also includes a $10,000 price break! The Joining Fee
may be paid out over four years at no interest.

Sp e c i a l
P r o j e c t s
U p d a t e
By Phil Kupperman, Chairman
This month we will be having our Annual Meeting on
February 27, 2015. At that time I hope to be able to
present a video that will take you on a virtual tour of our
Golf and Activities Center so you will be able to witness
what will become a one-of-a-kind architectural gem with the
finest workmanship, interior design and practicality possible.
Hedrick Brothers will begin the demolition of our existing
Golf Building in April 2015. Once demolished, our new
Golf and Activities Center will be constructed with an
anticipated completion date of December 1, 2016. This
architectural gem was designed by Architectural Design
Group (ADG) under the direction of our General Manager,
and his management team, along with input and support
from your Board of Governors. ADG is the same design
firm we have used throughout our building complexes.
We will once again have Image Design, known nationally
for excellence in facility planning and interior design, guide
us in our selection of color schemes, furnishings, flooring,
woodwork and lighting.
I would now like to briefly update you on the status of our
new Members Park, the retrofitting of our
Engineering Building, our Renovator Program
and Akoya at Boca West. Hopefully by the time you
read this article the construction of our new Members Park
will have started. As I write this article we are still waiting for
final approval from Palm Beach County to proceed with the
construction. The new Members Park will have the same
amenities we had at our original one on the land acquired
by the Siemens Group.
Also by the time you read this article, the re-engineering of

The building is being retrofitted to
accommodate our temporary
quarters for Golf Sign-In and Retail
Pro Shop which will be downstairs
and Club Services (Accounting,
Activities and Communications)
which will be upstairs during the period of time that the current
Golf Building is demolished and our new Golf and Activities
Center is constructed.
Our Renovator Program continues to be a success for
the Club as well as the Renovators. Renovators have acquired
a total of 35 mostly nonperforming units, of which 13 have
already been sold. The net benefit to our Club is that we now
have 13 more dues paying members or about $130,000
annually and have received over $800,000 in new Joining
Fees that we did not have before.
In closing let me give you an update on Akoya at Boca
West. On January 15, we officially sold our former Members
Park to the Siemens Group for $13.5 million. At the closing,
we received $6.75 million in case and received back a first
lien Purchase Money Mortgage for $6.75 million, bearing an
interest rate of 5%. The mortgage plus interest is payable in full
at the time Siemens Group closes on its construction loan or in
one year, whichever comes sooner. As of the closing, Siemens
Group is redesigning the building to broaden its market appeal.
The intention is to reduce the unit sizes and pricing and that will
also result in lower monthly HOA charges. In addition, since the
units are slightly smaller, we have granted his request to be able
to build up to 140 luxury units. In the end, this new design will
result in Boca West reaping even greater financial rewards then
previously reported.

[ ch a ir m a n’s Let t er]
from the desk of Jerry Glassman
This will be my final message to you as
Chairman. It has been an honor and pleasure
to serve the membership on our Club’s Board
of Governors since being elected in 2009. It’s hard
to believe that six years have flown by so fast.
I can really say that this has been a very rewarding
experience, especially as Chairman for the past
two years. I learned a great deal and I recommend
Board service. It is very rewarding to give your time,
expertise and experience to an organization that
provides substantial benefit to its membership,
and so much pleasure to me and my family
for more than 30 years.
The three foundations on which the amazing success of Boca West
Country Club rests are: (1) the Membership, (2) the Board of
Governors (and all volunteers), and (3) the Management and Staff.
The Membership of Boca West Country Club demands no less than
the best in quality, efficiency and service and has supported the Club’s
efforts in that regard for all the 30 plus years that I have been a member.
By the year 2016 we will have over $140,000,000 invested in our amenity
package and infrastructure. The Board of Governors and the various
volunteer staffed committees have contributed selflessly to the lifestyle
that we now refer to as the Boca West Brand. As evidenced by the record
sales, we certainly are telling the world about it. What more can be said
of our Management and Staff, headed by Jay DiPietro. Whatever makes
the Membership happy and whatever policies the Board puts in place
and the Committees have planned, Management makes it happen,
efficiently and with a smile. How many times have you said each
season, “Aren’t the kids (the staff) great this season”?
Change is not always easy to effect, however both the Board and
Management remain committed to the Renaissance and Renewal
theme wherein the Boca West Lifestyle presents the best offering
for buying a place in Florida. The initiative over the past few years to
introduce the concept that selling the lifestyle creates the demand to live
here and enjoy the Boca West Brand has proved to be a great success.
The sale of the Members’ Park has given Boca West a new development
to offer for the first time in over 20 years. On January 15, we closed on
the AKOYA project. Due to the Developers cooperation and assistance,
the Club is now free of any further DEP obligations. The Developer
is now busily engaged in design improvements to the project and will
begin construction as soon as the regulatory authorities approve
the changes. Boca West has made considerable progress under the
Renaissance and Renewal theme, but there is more to be done. The
new Golf and Activities Center will be the centerpiece of our amenity
package. We will be telling the public about its
wonders as soon as the present structure is
demolished as well as during the construction
phase and up until its grand opening.
I need to acknowledge just how valuable the
support was from our General Manager, Jay DiPietro,
my Vice Chairman, Phil Kupperman who served
on my Executive Committee along with Howie
Krosser, Bob Locke and Arthur Adler. The Executive
Committee and the full Board signed on to and have
supported the Renaissance and Renewal of Boca West
Country Club. It takes some very special people to
commit to their jobs on a daily basis - even when the going gets tough and believe me, we’ve all experienced that over the years. Along with
Phil, Howie and me, Bob Winikoff will also be departing the Board
after fulfilling our respective terms. Bob’s substantial contribution
to the Club was one of the factors that led to the Club’s enormous success.
Bob headed Budget, Golf and Legal as well as served on many other
committees. The membership will be voting for five open Board positions
at the end of this Month. Len Meyers, who is eligible to continue on the
Board has been nominated for another three-year term. Arthur Adler,
Bud Baron, Mark Berkowitz, Jeff Feiner, Nancy Frydman, Howard
Liebman, Bob Locke, Joel Schlesinger, Frank Richard and Burt Wellman
will remain. These 11 members have made meaningful contributions
to the Board, which required an enormous amount of dedication and
desire to serve. Because of volunteers like them, I look forward to the
future with great optimism.
Positive results don’t just happen. A lot of hard work and commitment
from your Board, Management and Staff was behind every success.
I would like to thank my fellow Board members for their support and hard
work throughout the past two years. On behalf of my colleagues
on the Board of Governors, I wish to thank our Staff for their dedicated
efforts and for the way they have embraced the Renaissance and Renewal
theme. To you, the Boca West Membership, I thank you once again
for entrusting me with your confidence and support. Everything good that
happens at Boca West, happens because of the support of the membership.
Please accept my sincerest wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous
New Year and that you continue to enjoy the Boca West Lifestyle for
many years to come.
