President & Founder of
Revolution Dating
Hot Off the Press!
Premier matchmaking
and events service launches
new hub in Palm Beach
Gardens
This month I am so
excited to announce the
launch of Revolution Dating,
an upscale dating and events
club which will be delivering more love and friendship to
single, divorced, and widowed adults in Florida. My longterm team and I have been working overtime planning parties
and benefits for all of you. “It’s not what you know, it’s who
you know”...and we know some amazing single men and
women!”
Our office location is the icing on the cake! Located near
Spoto’s Oyster Bar, Rocco’s Tacos, and Vic & Angelo’s
Restaurants, three great date spots. In the past, businesses like
ours have been located “high in the tower” hidden away from
the general public. Today, with online dating & matchmaking
becoming mainstream, placing our new office right in the mix
of the hottest restaurants in town is ideal. Many who have
been on the fence will now feel more comfortable calling
us. Revolution Dating has been called the “hottest gig in
town” by many singles touting that “this is going to be the
best way to meet other quality singles!”
After two decades of success in the industry, I feel driven
to raise the bar for our many friends and clients. I am excited
to introduce new types of events from “Oscar Night” to
“Ballroom Dance Events” to “Yoga Workshop” to “Tandem
Kayaking.” Our goal is to attract date-worthy professional
and retired singles. Between my 23 years in the business,
and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, my talents
rival some of the best in the U.S.A.! I’m happy to bring it
all to YOU...making the gap from “single” to “taken” very
easy!
Since 1991, I’ve helped thousands aged 25-85 find
friendship and romance. Last year, I celebrated another
record year of successful matches, and I can’t wait to
increase the numbers in 2014! The majority of my clients
report a positive dating experience which means they are
now engaged, married or happily dating.
Our client base ranges from Vero Beach to Broward
County. Everyone is screened which includes background
checks. Once a client of Revolution Dating, perks abound.
Membership includes a professional photo shoot, profilewriting assistance, one-on-one date coaching, image
consulting, and/or even personal shopping to get you ready
for your first date. We also have an expert who will help get
your home “relationship ready” post-divorce or break-up.
There is even a “Millionaires Only Circle” available as an
option. For some, we will even plan the date for you by
request!
We are here to jump start your love life! Our parties are
private for our friends and members, unlike other singles
events where anyone can attend. As always, our events are
first come first serve! If you don’t like parties, no problem,
we can do one on one set-ups. The club is custom made to
the single clients needs.
To celebrate the Revolution of Love 2014, we are
offering new clients who join before April 20 an invite to
our Sexy Singles Launch Party at the end of April. This
will be the biggest singles event of the year--be sure to
RSVP to 561-630-XOXO today if you want to come play
with us.
Revolution Dating is light years ahead of the bar scene,
online dating, or any other club in town… as you will come
to know. My team is truly dedicated to love and building
relationships. This is not just about a “date,” this is a life
changing experience!
I hope to see you at the party this month! Much Love As
Always, Your Local Cupid, Kelly

Sherry
One Of The World’s Oldest
Wines Is A Treasure That

Sherry has a protected

fortified wine is produced
by having grape spirit added
during the production in
order to increase the alcoholic
strength, halt fermentation to

and stabilize) comes from an

Serrano ham
three towns of Jerez de la Fronters, Sanlúcar de Barrameda
and El Puerto de Santa Maria. There are three grape varieties
authorized for production: Palomino, Muscat of Alexandria
and Pedro Ximénez. The last two grapes are mainly used for
sweetening.
Sherry is aged by the Solera system which uses tiers of
wine casks that are systematically blended with the more
mature wine in the casks below. Sherry comes in different
styles.
Fino is a crisp, dry and nutty delicate sherry.
Manzaniila comes from the coastal town of Sanlúcar de
Barrameda and is typically lighter than fino, often with a
little salty finish.
Amontillado is amber in color with a distinctive nutty
flavor that is complex, with a
long finish.
Palo Cortado is a rare
variety of sherry that is much
sought after. The production
of this rare breed has notes
that are a cross of a fino
and the nutty richness of an
amontillado. The character of
this fine wine make it quite
expensive.
Oloroso sherry is dry and
brown-colored. It is a rich
nutty style with aromas of
raisins.
Sherry glasses
Cream sherry is sweetened
with the addition of Muscat or Pedro Ximénez grapes and is
more commercially produced.
Sherry can be served with an appetizer or dessert.
Spain offers great cheeses and salted hams. My favorite
cheese is probably the famous Manchego. This cheese is
incredible, made from unpasteurized sheep’s milk; it is aged
between three months to two years. Normally butterscotch
in color it is well developed, creamy with nutty flavors.
To compliment this fine cheese I serve thinly sliced
Serrano ham, fresh rustic
Spanish bread baked with
sun-dried tomatoes and an
assortment of Manzanilla
olives all marinated with
oregano, thyme, garlic,
orange, lemon and a
little rosemary. These are
Mediterranean wonders!
Wouldn’t it be fun to offer
your guest a sherry with all
the accompaniments when
they arrive at your home?

ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival began more than a quarter
century ago at the North Palm Beach Country Club. This
local art show has grown into a nationally recognized arts
festival now held at Abacoa in Jupiter and is produced by
the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce
and presented by Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center.
Residents and visitors enjoyed a great variety of art, food,
live music and artists creating everything from oil paintings
and pottery to mixed media sculptures and fine jewelry on a
beautiful President’s Day weekend.
This three-day, family-friendly festival had something for
everyone. There was a special children’s section with an art
contest for kids and where they were encouraged to craft,
exhibit and sell their creations.
Students from several schools participated in a contest by
decorating trash cans that added to the artsy festival. Lots of
vendors with delicious food and aromas floating through the
festival.

Revocable Living Trusts Versus Wills
Part 1 Of 3
Submitted by Anné
Desormier-Cartwright, Esq.
Member of Elder Counsel
If you are like most
people, you probably believe
the best way to protect your
heirs after your death is
through a will. However,
a living revocable trust is
a far superior method of
transferring property to
your heirs. This is a contract
wherein a party (the settlor), during his lifetime, establishes
rules for the management and distribution of his property
upon his incapacitation or death. Any competent adult can
establish a living revocable trust, and any competent adult
may serve as trustee. The heirs to whom the property in the
trust will be distributed are known as the trust beneficiaries.
A living revocable trust is established in writing and a
trustee is appointed to manage and distribute the property in
accordance with the settlor’s detailed instructions. Usually
the settlor names himself as trustee of the trust property
during his lifetime, with a spouse, friend, relative or financial
institution named as a successor trustee upon his death or
incapacitation. This allows the settler to continue to manage
and control the trust property during his lifetime.
Establishing a living revocable trust has substantial
advantages over a will, for example:
• Avoiding Probate: The biggest advantage of using a
living revocable trust is that, unlike a will, it allows an estate
to avoid probate. Probate is the process whereby the court
oversees the transfer of your property to your heirs (which
will be determined for you by state law if you don’t designate
them in a will), and can be extremely time-consuming and
expensive. It can take between six months and two years for
an estate to clear probate, and the fees on a $300,000 estate
can be as high as $18,000. A living revocable trust provides
an inexpensive way to transfer your assets to your heirs
quickly and easily without having to submit to probate.

Commissioner’s Update
County Sells Mecca Property
By Commissioner
Hal R. Valeche
In 2004, the county
purchased the 1,900-acre
Mecca Farms property, a
former orange grove site for
$60 million. The purchase
was part of the plan to
lure the Scripps Research
Institute to Palm Beach
County, surrounded by a
cluster of related biotech
industries.
Due to a complicated permitting process and major
opposition from numerous environmental groups, a federal
judge’s ruling caused the county to stop construction on
this site. Jupiter was ultimately chosen as the new site for
the Scripps Research Institute and the Mecca property lay
dormant for several years. In addition to the $60 million
the county spent to purchase the site, an investment of
$40 million was spent on planning, permitting and initial
construction costs for the Mecca property. Initially,
county officials thought they could sell the property for
development but the South Florida building boom went
bust and the county was stuck with 1,900 acres of unused
farmland with annual costs of $4 million in debt service
and $250,000 for upkeep.
Last October, the County Commissioners unanimously
approved the sale of the Mecca property to the South Florida
Water Management District for $26 million. While the county
lost money on the deal, the property did sell above appraised
value. The South Florida Water Management District intends
to use the property as a water storage area and flow way to
meet the Loxahatchee River Minimum Flows and Levels.
As part of the deal, the county retains title to 22 acres on
which a county water plan was built, and the county will
have the option of buying back 98 acres of right-of-way for
Seminole-Pratt Whitney Road at $14,000 per acre. The South
Florida Water Management District agreed to give 150 acres
to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to
build a shooting range that will meet Olympic competition
standards. The plan includes a shooting range capable of
attracting national shooting events and will include trap
and skeet shooting, pistol and rifle ranges, along with a pro
shop, clubhouse and spectator seating. This property finally
has a future with a multitude of public purposes, benefiting
the environment and the citizens of Palm Beach County.

CrossTalk
Negotiating Is An
Acquired Taste
By Jodi Cross
There is an art form to
negotiating. When you think
about it, we all do it every
day whether with our kids,
employees or in a sales
situation. So how can you
improve your negotiation
skills and get to “Yes?”
At the beginning of
any negotiation you must
prepare. Recently during a
real estate transaction we ran into some complications that
led to a conflict and we almost lost the buyer. Deploying
some simple steps can help get things back on track.
1. Prioritize your stakes; what are you willing to give
concessions on and what is off limits? Determine the best
outcome prior to starting the negotiation then develop a Plan
B scenario.
2. Do your research. Identify where the other person’s
interests lie. What issues are important to them? How well
do you know them or the company they represent?
3. Who else may have a stake in this negotiation? What
deadlines are you up against? Can you create leverage to
move the deal along or using the deadline as a cost of delay
tactic?
4. Develop supporting arguments and outcomes that can
be used as persuasive bargaining tools.
5. Work on a strategy. Determine your bottom line? Set up

•Relaxation
your goals from an aspirational and reality based perspective
and outline what you want to achieve in writing.
Now that you have prepared for negotiations, let the
games begin. Negotiations should be taken seriously, always
remember not to get overconfident and never give away your
bottom line.
Using key objectives can help reveal your opponents
positioning during the discovery process.
1. Keep the lines of communication open while sharing,
listening and asking “why” questions.
2. Take a cooperative approach by identifying all possible
issues surrounding the negotiations, never assume anything.
3. When you are in the bargaining zone be prepared to
find overlapping points and use bridging techniques to create
alignment. Bridging identifies alternative concessions by
using creative tradeoffs and develops reciprocity.
4. Never make a concession without reciprocity and avoid
unilateral concessions.
5. Be firm and assertive. Know your worth and be prepared
to walk away!
Try to avoid getting emotionally attached to the outcome.
One time I was purchasing a car and I loved the pin striping
detail. I started fixating on the fact the no other car would
have those stripes and lost track of the bigger negotiation.
Remember to stay focused during the negotiation process
and you can obtain your ultimate goal.
