PRESIDENT ’S MESSAGE
President’s
Perspective
I continue to be amazed by the
women of the Junior League of
Boca Raton. Every time I turn
around, someone is receiving
an award, being commended
by her peers or launching a
new idea or event. I know that
at any event in our community there is bound to be a Junior
Leaguer somewhere in the ranks. I had a great experience the
other day. I attended the annual Soroptimist International
Awards Breakfast. JLBR had nominated Linda Davidson and
Cindy Krebsbach, both sustainers, for their years of service and
dedication to the League. Cindy received the award in the volunteer category. This, in and of itself is remarkable considering
the resumes of the other nominees. However, Cindy is in good
company. Eight JLBR members have received Soroptimist
Women of Distinction awards since 1993 including Elizabeth
Pankey-Warren and Lisa Mulhall, both JLBR past presidents.
Later that day I had the pleasure of catching up with an old
friend from JLBR. She related a great story about an annual
fundraising event in her community that she started as a result
from working on a League fundraiser. Many of our members
go on to start businesses, become professional fundraisers and
outstanding volunteers. When you look around the Boca Raton
community, everywhere you will find members of our League
accomplishing amazing feats. I commend each and every one
of you for your dedication to community service through the
JLBR. You truly make a difference each and every day.
In the spring of 2001, the New York Junior League (the first
ever) reached its 100th birthday. There was a fabulous conference and celebration and each and every moment was more
inspiring then the last. Maya Angelou was the keynote speaker
at the gala and since then I have wanted to share with you a
poem that she wrote and recited that evening. It is a wonderful
characterization of Junior League women and says, more eloquently than I ever could, what I feel about all of you.
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size.
But when I start to tell them, they think I’m telling lies.
I say, it’s in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips,
the stride of my step, the curl of my lips.
I’m a woman, phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.
I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man,
the fellows stand or fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me, a hive of honey bees.
I say, it’s the fire in my eyes, and the flash of my teeth,
the swing in my waist and the joy in my feet.
I am a woman, phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.
Men themselves have wondered what they see in me.
They try so much, but they can’t touch my inner mystery.
When I try to show them, they say they still can’t see.
I say, it’s in the arch of my back, the sun of my smile,
the ride of my breasts, the grace of my style.
I am a woman, phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.
Now you understand just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing, it ought to make you proud.
I say, it’s in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand, the need for my care.
‘Cause I’m a woman phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.
. . . Maya Angelou, 2000
Fondly,
Linda Davidson

TIS’ THE SEASON TO BE HUNGRY!
BY ANNE HENDERSON
It’s November again, the start of the
holiday season and (gasp) diet season.
Every year I start out November with a
diet in anticipation of the holidays. My
reasoning is that if I announce to the
world that I’m on a diet then I will be
less likely to over-do it with holiday
treats (at least in public, anyway.)
Works great in theory. All good diet
books recommend that you keep a food diary with what you ate
and the mood you were in, so you can more accurately spot
trouble areas. I thought that was a good idea, so I tried it. Here
are the results from my first day:
satisfy the sweet craving.
7:00 a.m.: Decaf coffee - there has been a lot of evidence that
caffeine messes with your metabolism.
9:00 p.m.: Snack of Turkey Roll up (Weight Watcher’s - 2
points) and a glass of milk. Diet books recommend eating a
protein snack before bed - I forget why but it has something to
do with boosting metabolism or not being so hungry next day.
Sounds like a good plan. Milk is from Pamela Bloor’s diet (my
mother - she says it helps you sleep and that if I don’t drink milk
I will get osteoporosis – yikes!)
7:15 a.m.: More Decaf Coffee - the first one didn’t quite do it
and I’m still a little groggy.
7:30 a.m.: Regular coffee - what’s wrong with messing with
your metabolism, anyway? Maybe it will boost it a little
8:00 a.m.: Discarded crusts from daughter’s “PB & J” for lunch
box. Doesn’t count - isn’t really a food.
8:30 a.m.: Bacon and Cheese Omelet, extra Bacon (Adkins’
Diet.)
10:30 a.m.: Snack of Cheese and Crackers (Sugar Busters) I’m
not really hungry, but the books say eating a snack will stop
binging later on - wouldn’t want that to happen.
12:30 p.m.: Lunch - Soup (Cabbage Soup Diet) and sandwich
with one slice of whole wheat bread, turkey, lettuce, tomato,
mayo (South Beach Diet)- okay - I was going to use whole
wheat, but my healthy, no preservative, totally organic $5 loaf
of bread had a suspicious growth, so I had to use kid’s white
bread, which is loaded with preservatives and probably will stay
fresh for at least a year. Compensated by choking down a
spoonful of wheat germ - I’m sure it will be fine.
2:00 p.m.: Apple - The box of Ho-Ho’s I bought for the kids
lunch box is screaming my name. Maybe if I eat an apple, it will
The Most Unique Holiday Gift
For the Animal Lover in Your Life?
BEAUTIFUL BEASTS
FINE ANIMAL PAINTINGS BY JULIE FEINGOLD
2:05 p.m.: Ho Ho.
2:07 p.m.: Another Ho Ho (Damn!)
4:00 p.m.: Kids home - they want Oreos for a snack. Ate one
by mistake. (How did that happen?) Oh well, Dr. Pasquale’s
diet suggests that you have one binge day a week to help you
not get bored and stick to the plan - maybe today is the day!
6:00 p.m.: Dinner of grilled salmon, spinach and salad (Suzanne Somers.) Feeling very virtuous. Rewarded self for
good behavior with ice cream. (It’s ok, it was low fat.)
After reviewing the log, I could spot a few troublesome areas,
so I thought I would turn to my hero, Dr. Phil, for help. I
bought his new book from the bookstore and sat down to read
it. There are, apparently, seven keys that promise to “open the
doors to a new life for me.” (Only seven? Who knew it was that
simple?) Unfortunately, I fell asleep while reading it – not that
it was boring - I was just weak from lack of food, no doubt.
I had a dream that I was a guest on the Dr. Phil show and our
interview went like this:
Dr. Phil: “Anne, are you ready to GET REAL about your diet?”
Anne: “Yes Sir” (I am slightly in awe of Dr. Phil.) “I am so
serious I started a log” (I hand him my diary.)
Dr. Phil: “ Ho- Ho’s, Oreo’s? You need to change your thinking, girl! How’s it working for you?”
Anne: (confused) “Er… quite well, actually. I … um, like HoHo’s.”
Dr. Phil: “You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.”
Anne: (Unsure what to say.) “Right.” (I just acknowledged that
I like Ho - Ho’s what more does he want?)
Dr. Phil: “Anne, are you confusing body image with self
image?”
Anne: “Yes” (Me and the rest of the women in America, and
possibly half of Europe, too!)
Dr. Phil: “You need to stop that TODAY!”

LET’S BE THANKFUL!
BY SUZANNE SPINELLI
As the holidays draw near and thoughts
of turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie fill our minds, it’s good to take
some time and give thanks to all those
who have made a difference in our lives.
The Bridge has asked Board members
and Committee chairs to thank community and League members who have
made positive contributions to the
JLBR this year. We are so grateful for all your heartfelt volunteerism and now is the perfect time of year to tell you so!
Pamela Disher, Member at Large: The Members-At-Large
committee consists of two people. There is the crazed and frantic Member-At-Large and then there is Cheryl Scardina.
Although Cheryl is an associate active this year, she agreed to
take an active role out of friendship and her dedication to the
JLBR. The other Member-At-Large doesn’t know where to
begin to thank her for all her hard work and continuous support.
She constantly surprises me with her enthusiasm, creative ideas,
writing and public speaking skills. I might add the writing and
public speaking skills are newly acquired since September!
Cheryl is truly a special woman, one who I am honored to work
with in the JLBR and also call my dear friend.
Johanna Felberbaum, Chair, Woman Volunteer of the Year
Committee: Countess Henrietta de Hoernle for serving as
Honorary Chair and hosting a wonderful reception for the candidates. Wachovia Bank and Harry W. Weede, Jr., Executive Vice
President, for sponsoring and underwriting the Woman Volunteer
of the Year Award. Saks Fifth Avenue, Barbara Wolfson, General
Manager, and Nadia Squarcifico, Public Relations and Special
Events Manager, for the spectacular fashion show. Autohaus
Pompano for their continued support of the Woman Volunteer of
the Year Luncheon and for 1,000 teddy bears.
Maria Morejon, Co-Chair, Membership Satisfaction and
Training Committee: Mary Jo Nobles has done the Palm Pilot
Training two years in a row. Mary Wyns has done the Grant
Writing Seminar the past two years and will help us again this
spring. Both have done this through the Membership
Satisfaction and Training Committee.
Lourdes Delfin, Co-Chair, Cares Committee: As Co-Chair of
the CARES committee, I would like to give thanks to Jeanne
Brander for taking the time to assist me as Co-Chair. Her willingness to serve and excitement about learning about community projects is much appreciated; to Carole Putman for staying
with CARES and offering her experience and fervor to our
committee members; and to all my committee members for
bringing their personal and professional talents, energy and
focus along to make this year a great success.
Carole Putman, Sustainer Advisor, Board of Directors: I cannot imagine the Community Resource Center becoming a reality without Pattie Damron’s leadership and vision. For two
years she has worked tirelessly and without a break. This building will be our gift to the community, but it is Pattie’s gift to us
. . . and we should be very thankful. We are thankful for Peter
and Anne Vegso and the Countess Henrietta de Hoernle for their
support of the Community Resource Center and their faith in us
to carry out the mission of this amazing project.
Michele Toomey, V.P. Planning: Thanks to Carolyn Arnold for
her vision and assistance with the new Planning Council, Pattie
Damron for her endless contributions to the JLBR Capital
Campaign, Linda Halstead for keeping our League together and
organized and doing it with a smile, Cindy Krebsbach for continuing to work tirelessly with the Community Foundation to
make our Grant Writing Library a reality, Peggy Jones for
agreeing last minute to Chair the Community Resource Center
(Programming portion) and Angela Miller for her constant professional legal advice and for her in-depth knowledge of our
By-Laws and Policies.
TIS’ THE SEASON TO BE HUNGRY!
Dr. Phil: “We need to go to a commercial break, but before
I do I am going to tell you the one MOST important thing to
GUARANTEE your success. If you do nothing but this one
thing, you will lose all the weight you want. It is…”
Brrring! Brrring!
Oh no! The phone rang and I woke up! Just as Dr. Phil was
going to reveal THE SECRET! Now I will never know and
I will be destined to fail miserably at the diet game forever!
Now I am going to have to resort to some really drastic measures (like diet and exercise.)
Incidentally, you know how it’s so much easier for men to
lose weight than women? I could kill my husband. He came
in today and said, “Look! I lost 5 lbs.! That salad you made

HOLIDAY FIRE SAFETY
BY ANNE CONKLIN
What time of year do you think you are
most likely to experience a residential
fire? Why, the holidays, of course.
Between the cooking, heating and celebrating, the holiday season can prove to
be the most dangerous time of year when
it comes to fires in the home.
According to the National Fire
Prevention Association (NFPA) January is the peak month for
home fire deaths, with February and December following close
behind. During these months, smoking and heating equipment
are the main two causes of deaths. Cooking is the leading cause
of home fires and the resulting injuries year-round and smoking
is the main culprit of home fire deaths overall.
We want all of our Leaguers and their families to be safe and
sound this holiday season, so when you’re celebrating, please
keep the following safety tips in mind:
ily get underfoot.
Always turn off portable space heaters when you leave a
room or go to sleep. Keep heaters three feet from anything
that can burn including walls, bedding, and clothes.
Blow out candles when you leave a room. Be sure that candle holders are big and deep enough to catch dripping wax
and keep the candles from tipping over. NEVER burn candles in children’s bedrooms.
If anyone in your home smokes, provide them with large,
heavy, non-tip ashtrays. Always pour water over any butts
or ashes before throwing them away.
Make sure electrical cords are in good condition, with no
cracked or frayed areas.
Keep matches and lighters out of the sight and reach of
children - preferably in a locked cabinet.
If food is cooking on the stove, never leave the kitchen.
Keep the stove clear of anything that could catch fire:
paper, towels, curtains, or potholders.
Any fuel or liquid that could catch fire such as gasoline,
propane, or kerosene should be stored in a safe container
outside the home, preferably in a locked storage shed.
Make the area around the stove a “kid-free zone” - no kids
or pets within three feet of the stove, where they could eas-
The holiday season is right around the corner. Please make it a
safe one!
Personal Childbirth Trainer
Diane Ellen, R.N.
Hello! My name is Diane Ellen and I help women have the most positive
childbirth experience possible. I have over 14 years experience as a
Registered Nurse in labor and delivery, postpartum, and newborn care.
Although childbirth can be foreseen as an exciting and rewarding event,
there is a certain amount of worry that most expectant mothers feel, especially if it is their first baby. My specialty is to work with these women by providing relevant
information and emotional support before, during, and after the delivery.
Prior to labor, my specialized program includes spending time with the pregnant woman and
her significant others. I use a variety of teaching techniques, props, and informational handouts
to help explain what to expect during labor and delivery. During labor, I provide companionship, support, and reassurance as well as explanations of medical terminology and procedures.
After delivery, my support and attention continue for a couple of hours and may include breastfeeding assistance. There is follow-up home visit after the birth. Please consider allowing me
to be a part of your delivery experience!

MEMBER OF THE MONTH
FIRST YEAR MEMBER EXTRAORDINAIRE
BY LINDA GUNN & PAMELA DISHER
We are delighted to announce that our
October Member of the Month is none
other than Susan Hunter! Susan began
her relationship with the JLBR just last
year.
Upon completing her New
Member class, she immediately joined
the B.R.E.T. committee and became
quite an asset. Her innovative ideas and
enthusiasm proved to be priceless.
up with the financial tracking system the committee is currently using. She took it upon herself to implement a plan that
would track everyone that turns in their ticket stubs and money.
It was just a matter of time before she was recruited to her current placement, the Show Me the Money fundraiser. Her committee members unanimously agreed that she is the brain
behind the operation. For example, she worked diligently all
summer putting together the Show Me the Money bags that
were distributed at the September General Membership meeting. What a huge hit they were!
Susan is one of those special members that shows up first at all
the committee meetings, offers to do anything and will put in
any amount of time necessary to get the job done. She is a wonderful person to be around and will even throw in a surprise or
two! For instance, as a New Member last year, Susan was single but she just recently announced she’s now happily married!
We are all so proud and happy for her, all our best wishes to
Susan and her new hubby!
It was Susan that came up with the awesome idea of carrying
the Show Me the Money theme throughout the entire presentation. She paid attention to even the smallest detail: she ordered
customized pencils, bubblegum coins, large money bills and
even a stamp to decorate the bags with - all imprinted with
Show Me the Money. Based on the amount of tickets the committee sold so far, it’s a job well done!
Did we mention that this work is done after she works all day
as a math teacher? Her natural “math” abilities have really
come into play with her expert money management skills in
relation to budgeting purposes and help in managing the committee’s ticket sales.
As Linda Gunn, Show Me the Money chair, said, “Susan is a
wonderful and absolutely amazing woman. We’d like to thank
her for all her hard work and hope she keeps it going strong!”
On behalf of the entire JLBR, congratulations Susan! We are
honored to have you aboard as a first year active. How inspiring you are to all the other New Members!
Our energetic first year active was also responsible for coming

on the Halloween festivities, then find us in the spring to volunteer for an egg hunt, or anytime during the year to read stories to the kids at the Sibling Shelter.
For instance, you can catch a taste of the
holiday season by sponsoring a family
for Thanksgiving! Sign up before the
General Membership meeting in November. Turkeys are being
provided by C.R.O.S. Ministries. Volunteers will provide a
decorated box loaded with a cooking tin and the ingredients for
all the holiday fixings.
To donate food with C.R.O.S. Ministries on a more regular
basis, find a DIAD shift at 9:30 a.m. on the first Thursday of
each month at the Caring Kitchen in Delray Beach. Here volunteers make bologna sandwiches for after-school snacks. This
is a fun and fast D.I.A.D commitment and requires a $20 donation for purchase of sandwich supplies. The JLBR provides 250
sandwiches each month.
Last month, one great time to volunteer was at Halloween,
assisting Trick-or-Treating at the Sibling Shelter. This successful annual event was, as always, probably as fun for the volunteers as it was for the kids! We thank the volunteers who contributed their time to this event. If you’re sorry you missed out
Other great and meaningful DIAD volunteer opportunities are
available with the Special Olympics, and with Habitat for
Humanity. In fact, the D.I.A.D Committee just assisted with a
Special Olympics Bowling Day on October 4th and with the
building of a Delray home on November 1st. These were fun
shifts and time very well spent for our volunteers. More shifts
will be available this year for the Special Olympics and for
Habitat for Humanity. We would like to thank the volunteers
for these events, as well as those who assisted the Children’s
Assistance Committee with their involvement in the Community Health Fair.

VOTE
BY YVONNE LANZON
Get ready to vote ladies! It is your
Public Issues and Advocacy Committee
bringing your State Public Affairs
Committee update. SPAC has worked
hard all summer to update our issues.
The following are Public Stands and
Position Statements to be voted upon at
our General Membership Meeting. With
all of the Leagues approval we will be
able to lobby on behalf of the 15,000
women in our Florida Leagues. Please take a moment to read,
and get ready to vote!
Public Stand on Young Adults Emerging from Foster Care: The
Junior Leagues of Florida support opportunities for those young
adults emerging from the foster care system so that they may
become self- sufficient members of our society.
Position Statements on Bullying: The Junior Leagues of Florida
recognize the severe effects of bullying on the everyday lives of
children. We therefore support initiatives to reduce the number
of bullying incidents, and reduce the incidents’ effects.
Public Stand on Drivers Licensing Frequency and
Transportation Alternatives: The Junior Leagues of Florida
recognize the high incidence of traffic accidents experienced by
drivers under the age of 24 and over the age of 70, and we therefore support the enforcement of statewide mandates for license
renewal frequency meeting minimum Department of Highway
Safety and Motor Vehicles standards. We also support
improved public transportation to provide driving alternatives.

beginning November 20th. Many shifts will be available at the
mall for those available to help collect toy donations from holiday shoppers. You can provide toy donations at the mall, or
bring a donation to the General Membership Meeting. Toys will
even be available on the tables at the General Membership
Meeting in November for purchase for the Toy Drive - how
convenient is that?
Shifts will be posted on the JLBR web site as they become
available. Information will also be available at the General
Membership Meetings. And don’t forget, there will be a prize
from Tiffany & Co. for the volunteer with the most shifts!
A big thanks also goes out to the volunteers who worked at the
Health Fair. Our Habitat for Humanity is November 1st.

COMMITTEE NEWS
KIDS@HOME PARTICIPATE IN COASTAL CLEANUP
The Kids@Home committee along with
the young adults from the program
arrived at John Price Park in Lake
Worth on Saturday, Sept. 20th at 9:00
a.m. not knowing what to expect from
the chosen community service activity.
We were handed garbage bags and latex
gloves and pointed in the direction of
the water. We were told to pick up
garbage and make sure we documented everything we gathered.
The surrounding areas were filled with other garbage collecting
volunteers so we jumped in three cars on the search for good
garbage. We found an area, parked the cars and we were off!
The Kids@Home Community Service Team made up of
Phoebe Chapman, Alyson Baugh and Dayna Coffer organized
the cleanup to give the young adults in the Kids@Home program a chance to give back to their community. The goal of the
team is to provide access and participation in community projects that will get the kids involved.
A total of four events will be held this year in September, November, January and March.
The Ocean Conservatory sponsors the cleanup as an international
event every year on the third Saturday in September. Last year
items such as razors, braided hair and chapstick were found, making the need for an annual coastal cleanup increasingly evident.
So, I bet you are wondering what we found. It started out slow
with some candy wrappers, glass and soda cans and became
much more “exciting” as the day went
on. All in all we
found a leg (Barbie’s
leg, don’t worry), fish
bones,
band-aids,
clothing and a few
unidentifiable
objects. All in a day’s
work!
CHILDREN’S PLACE SOUTH & YOU
This year our committee is trying to
make some small but important changes
in the way we and other League members provide support for Children’s
Place South. As many of you know, the
League, through its Children’s Place
South Committee, hosts holiday parties
throughout the year. We are there for
every major holiday with arts and crafts
projects for the children to enjoy, along with some great food
and special gifts. Now that the expansion is complete and our
committee’s time is not so consumed with the construction project, we thought it would be nice to spend some more time with
the kids themselves, in addition to the usual holiday festivities.

The Halloween DIAD has been a great success and has allowed
League members who are not part of this committee to lend
their support to the shelter by trick-or-treating with the kids.
Our committee has decided to try to build on that by coming up

with additional DIAD opportunities for League members to
spend time with the children. In the past, there have been a few
DIAD shifts for story-reading. In addition to that, we are trying
to get some volunteers to help out with homework, especially
with the older children. Although it seems like a well-worn
cliche, you can make a difference in these children’s lives just
by sitting with them for a few minutes and reading with them or
helping them work through a math problem. Please be on the
lookout for DIAD shifts and sign-up!

TIME FOR TEA
BY JOHANNA FELBERBAUM
Those who were fortunate to receive an
invitation and attend the 2003 Woman
Volunteer of the Year Candidates’ Tea on
October 2nd were treated to a warm and
elegant afternoon.
It has been a tradition that the Honorary
Chair of the annual awards luncheon
hosts a reception for nominees, a guest
from the participating organization,
financial underwriters contributing at the patron level and higher,
representatives from Wachovia Bank and the Junior League of
Boca Raton. Countess Henrietta de Hoernle, this years gracious
Honorary Chair, chose Boca West Country Club for the afternoon
event. Marcella Roberts and Renee Feder, sustaining members of
the Woman Volunteer of the Year committee, coordinated the
details to produce a lovely tea. The room was trimmed with
shades of white and cream. Each table was decorated with beautiful, realistic faux floral centerpieces generously brought in for
the occasion by Le Faux Chateux. Guests had a wide array of
delicious food and beverages from which to choose, ranging from
traditional finger sandwiches, to sumptuous pastries and scones
and an outrageous fruit display.
The candidate’s tea offers nominees and organization representatives a chance to mingle with one another and get to know League
members and sponsors from Wachovia in a more intimate setting.
Most all the attendees are volunteers and having that in common
provided lively conversations and a wonderful affair.

CAPTURE THE MOMENT
BY JULIANNE CARELLI
Picture this . . . a private portrait session
with a professional photographer for
you and your spouse, family or friend.
This is the Junior League of Boca
Raton’s (JLBR) newest fundraiser,
Family Portrait Day. The funds raised
will benefit the JLBR and help to support its numerous worthwhile causes
benefitting children, families and arts
and culture. It’s an opportunity you
won’t want to miss!
“With the sunset spots already sold out, we’re on our way to
making this not only a great fundraiser for the League, but a
great opportunity for League members, friends and their family,” Durante mentioned.
League members can also participate by signing up for a two or
four-hour fundraising volunteer shift. Several time slots will be
available. Sign up at the November General Membership
Meeting..
For more information about Family Portrait Day, please contact
Lori J. Durante at 706-9420 or [email protected].
The Family Portrait Day Committee encourages you to be there
for the lights, camera and action with Junior League member and
photographer Darcy Plimpton Sims of Savor the Moment cookbook CD- ROM fame. She will be taking the portraits November
14-23 at the beach at South Inlet Park off Camino Real Blvd. in
Boca Raton. Sunset appointments are sold out, however, several
other slots are available throughout the week. Payment secures
your appointment. Available sessions are $250, which includes
your session fee, photo development and negatives.
League members are encouraged to spread the word to family
members and friends interested in participating in having their
portraits taken. Lori J. Durante, chair of the Family Portrait Day

with the holidays around the corner.” The feedback and

FUND ENHANCEMENT & DEVELOPMENT
MONTH AT
MARIOS FEATURING:
“DINING FOR DOLLARS”
AND
“ANTIQUES, ANTIQUES AND MORE
ANTIQUES!”
The Fund Enhancement & Development
Committee is currently coordinating several special events with
local businesses, restaurants and retailers. These “minifundraisers” are win-wins because the business gets promoted
via the JLBR, the JLBR gets promoted within the community
and money is raised that will eventually go back into the community via JLBR projects. We are very excited about these
upcoming special events!
Marios of Boca has invited the JLBR to be the recipient of
their “Dining for Dollars” event, highlighted with a not-to-be-missed complimentary lecture by a local antique
expert. “Dining for Dollars” will take
place November 9th-15th and the JLBR
gets 5% of all lunch and dinner sales for
the entire week.
The highlight of the “Dining for Dollars” week is the evening
BY MANDY FAUST
of Wednesday, November 12. Marios will sponsor a special
speaker on antiques: Discussions will include: “How to Find
the Right Antiques to Complement Your Current Collection,”
“Antiquing 101 for the Novice,” and “Discovering and
Uncovering Those Hideaway Antique Shops (Locally and Out
of South Florida.)” A question and answer period will follow.
This is complimentary for everyone and anyone. Please tell all
your friends, family and neighbors -antique enthusiasts or
novices - to come out to Marios for dinner and drinks on
Wednesday, November 12 and experience this complimentary
antique lecture.
JLBR is also thrilled that Marios has designated November as
the “Junior League of Boca Raton Month.” In addition to the
special events mentioned above, Marios will be distributing
information about JLBR during the month of November and
talking to their customers about JLBR. Marios is located at
1901 N. Military Trail at the Holiday Inn across from Kings
Market in Boca Raton. For more information please contact
Mandy Faust on the Fund Enhancement & Development
Committee at [email protected] or (954) 439-1241.
Do you have any ideas for new (or established) restaurants or
businesses that want to partner with the JLBR for a fun, minifundraising event? Contact Karen Wadowicz, Chair of the Fund
Enhancement & Development Committee at [email protected]

ANSWERS TO SOME QUESTIONS
BY CINDY KREBSBACH
Please join me for a tour of the Vegso
Community Resource Center on
Tuesday, November 11 at 9:30 a.m.
Let’s meet at the entrance and see the
facility as it is coming together! RSVP
to Cindy Krebsbach at 561 750 5453 or
[email protected].
JLBR offices and files will move in December 2003 and the
facility will be ready for use in January of 2004! The spring
Membership Development committee is thrilled to be able to
educate the spring New Member class and all future new members in this facility. All committees and councils: please contact
Linda Halstead at 241-2708 or [email protected] to reserve your
2004 dates and rooms.
The building is almost finished. We are
so thrilled with our good fortune. The
building is now secured with all windows and doors in place
and construction workers are starting on the excavation of the
grounds. The trailers will be off the site before this article goes
to press! As the building is going up there are many plans being
made by lots of committees for the upcoming opening of
JLBR’s Signature Community Project.
(Come to the tour so you can see the rooms!) The Funding
Resource Center (AKA grant library) will open when we fully
furnish the library in January 2004.
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions from the

What JLBR meetings can be held in the new facility?
The Countess de Hoernle building will allow us to have
Finance, Planning, Personnel, Communications and
Community Council meetings, Board, Governance Council,
New Member meetings. In addition, caregiving roundtables,
“in League” and “out of League,” education sessions , sustainer functions, luncheons and clubs, Past President council, the
Funding Resource Center (AKA Grant Library) and all the educational opportunities that the Nonprofit Resource Institute and
Donor’s Forum will be offered in the facility. Currently JLBR
has seven General Membership Meetings per year where members convene in one room. These will continue to be held at a
local hotel. The Internal PR committee has turned General
Membership Meetings into financially profitable events for the
League through vendor tables, raffles and corporate sponsors.
The seven General Membership Meetings did not warrant additional square feet in the building.
Will we charge fees for other Non-Profits to use our facility?
Usage policies and procedures are currently being researched
by Ingrid Kennemer and Kris Killip.
How soon will we be able to use the building?

What will the Community Foundation of Palm Beach and
Martin Counties do for us?
The Community Foundation of Palm Beach and Martin
Counties is an official member of the Cooperating Collection
out of New York. This organization collects grant writing
resources and materials and makes them available to the public.
The Funding Resource Center located in the Vegso Community
Resource Center will be a satellite center. The Community
Foundation will hold “train-the-trainer” sessions so we can educate others on how to use the Library. There are several thousand nonprofits in Palm Beach County who will use this library
-- and many students who will be able to research scholarships.
JLBR has applied for a grant from the Community Foundation
to help us outfit the room according to the Foundation Center’s
specifications.
Can I be trained on how to use the Funding Resource Center?
Yes! Please contact Peggy Jones at 368-7320 or [email protected].

HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS
BY STEPHANIE CRITCHFIELD
The temperature has finally dropped a
little, nightfall arrives sooner and the
winter annuals are in the ground. But all
it really takes is a stroll through the mall
to see that the holidays are already here.
In the midst of our respective holiday traditions, it is time to try a new one regarding the League’s Holiday Gatherings.
Instead of our usual December social, we
will switch gears a bit and hold more intimate gatherings at members’ homes. These new venues are sure to provide a warmer,
more personal atmosphere consistent with the closeness of the
holiday spirit and our mission as members. Each home will offer
a different theme, such as a cookie exchange, wreath and floral
design, last minute shopping and more! Please contact Nicole
Mugavero at 740-0156 or [email protected] or Laurie
Dankowski at 392-8901 or [email protected] with any
questions about these fun themed events.
With the holiday spirit in mind, there are still a few committees
seeking volunteers - Cookbook, Trinkets & Treasures,
Publications, Membership Training & Satisfaction, Community
Resource Center Endowment Fund, Community Resource
Center Programming, and Membership Development. This
would give those interested in double-placing a terrific opportunity to assist with committees in need. Please contact your

RECRUITERS NEEDED

in the 2003 Fall Class.

Berry-Vaughn
y-Vaughn thinking “spring” as we
begin our preparation for the 2004 New Member Class.
As one of this year’s Chair-Elects, I have the responsibility of
recruitment and Candidate Education Sessions. For months I
agonized over how I would accomplish this. Where to recruit,
how to recruit, and who to recruit became the questions of the
hour. Finally, an “Aha” . . . moment! I thought about my introduction to the Junior League. On three different occasions my
exposure to the Junior League led to three awesome experiences. My first encounter - New York. I was meeting a college
friend for a “quick” appearance at a function she had to attend.
Well that “quick” appearance was a Junior League fundraiser at
the Schomberg . . . and we closed the place! My second
League encounter was the Woman’s Conference sponsored by
the Ft. Lauderdale chapter. All I knew was Katie Couric and
Mrs. Fields of Mrs. Fields Cookies would be there and so would
I! My third opportunity to hear about the Junior League was at
Michael’s gym. Of all the places! I know this sounds funny,
but this encounter is my most treasured because of the awesome
woman that I met and the wonderful friendship established. So
to Michele, my college friend; the Ft. Lauderdale Junior
League; and my dear friend Susan LeBrun, thank you for the
awesome experiences and thank you for easing my agony with
this year’s placement! Let’s face it ladies - recruiting . . . it really does begin with us!
SUPER SATURDAY
In our continuous effort to grow and strengthen our League, we
are asking every member to assist with our recruiting efforts by
participating in our Candidate Referral Campaign during the
months of October and November. In each of these months, we
are asking members to refer and invite other dynamic women to
join the League. What does it cost? Only you talking to your
friends, neighbors, and co-workers about the Junior League of
Boca Raton and all of the wonderful things that we do! Also,
for the month of November, we are encouraging members to
bring a friend to the General Membership Meeting.
To add some fun, Membership and Development is sponsoring
a Candidate Referral Raffle. It’s as easy as 1-2-3 and here is
how it works:
1. By referring a candidate, you will get to enter your name in
the drawing.
2. If your candidate(s) attend a Candidate Education Session,
your name gets entered into the drawing again. The next
Education Sessions will be October 23 and November 10th
at the Boca Community Center 7 p.m.
3. If your candidate(s) completes the requirements for joining
the New Members Class your name gets entered into the
drawing again. (i.e., completes an application and submits
required fees.) The more candidates you refer, the more
chances your name gets entered in the drawing.
The drawing will be held at the February General Membership
Meeting. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to make a difference or the chance to win a fabulous prize. To ensure adequate
preparation for seating and food for November’s meeting,
please contact the League Office or Candace Berry-Vaughn at
(561)558-2817 by November 10.
BY REAGAN SUCH
One of the most important and educational days for the New
Members is Super Saturday. This year’s event was no exception. Successfully coordinated by committee members Gina
Gigli, Loretta Rauenhorst and Jennifer Shesser, we visited some
of the JLBR’s community projects, as well as the future site of
the Vegso Community Resource Center.
Our New Members were very impressed and have a better
understanding of what we do. First Dan Brennan from Kids @
Home came to speak, since they do not have a facility to visit.
Then Lourdes Delfin showed them the old and new facilities of
In the Pines, and they could not believe the difference between
the two. Next we saw Children’s Place South/Sibling Shelter
and learned how much has been contributed over the years.
Peggy Jones was a great teacher. Then Joanne Butcher educated the women about the New Pines Neighborhood Center’s
after school care programs as well as Dixie Manor.
Resource Center and explained exactly what purposes the
building would serve. Then it was back to the Community
Center for a fantastic lunch provided by Brewzzi’s Restaurant.
Overall the day was very successful. Of all the activities the New
Members are involved in, Super Saturday is probably one of the
most enjoyable and mind expanding. Everyone learned more
about each other and the projects our League works so hard on.
We then cruised by the site of the new Vegso Community

TRANSFER UPDATE BY KAREN SCHLESINGER
The Transfer Committee will be working with Membership Satisfaction &
Training to hold the first Wine Tasting
Interest Group of the year. A casual
wine tasting social will be held in
November with a date, time and location soon to be established. So if you
are interested in wine and/or would like
an opportunity to gather and chat with
some other Leaguers, then keep this fun, optional event in mind.
While there will be more information on that, in the meantime,
here’s the scoop on our four new transfers . . .
Mary Coleman has been a League member for six years and
worked on committees such as Cookbook, Chairs that Care,
Community Projects and Public Affairs. Although she has lived
in Boca Raton for many years, it wasn’t until she started working for the American Heart Association in Boca that she decided to transfer from Fort Lauderdale’s Junior League. Mary is
Corporate and Social Relations Director for the Heart
Association and an adept fundraiser. Since she is also an early
American History buff, she’s going back to school to earn a
degree in history at FAU. It is fitting that she collects 18th and
19th century children’s literature, rare first editions and antique
postcards. She also enjoys activities such as hiking, nontechnical mountain climbing, kayaking, tennis and sailing.
Celeste Krikorian recently moved to Boca Raton from Memphis
along with her husband, Fazken, and their two young daughters,
Sophia and Natalia. They moved to the area to open Gem
Precision Fine Jewelry, their new jewelry store located in Royal
Palm Plaza. When she’s not busy running the new business, she
enjoys playing with her girls, going to the movies, trying new
restaurants, and, of course, chatting about jewelry. Celeste was
born in Memphis, attended the University of Mississippi for
undergrad and law school, and completed her degree in environmental law at George Washington University. She has been in the
League since 1999 and her past projects include Special Events
and a committee that mentored 5th grade girls.
Tiffany Batchelder is married to Darin and they have two kids-Zack who’s three and Kayla who’s 15 months. She is a stay at
home mom and enjoys decorating. To stay active she does aerobics, rollerblades and likes both water and snow skiing.
Tiffany was born in Waterloo, Iowa and attended Central
Connecticut State University. She transferred from Fort
Lauderdale into the Boca Raton League since JLBR is more
conveniently located to where she lives in Coral Springs. And
last year, two of her friends who live in the same Coral Springs’
community as she does, also transferred into JLBR from Fort
Lauderdale. This is Tiffany’s second year as an active member.
Her previous placement was on the Family Picnic committee.
This summer she traveled to Aruba with her family and Rhode
Island with four of her longtime girl friends, her daughter and
their kids for a “girls” trip.
Deborah Quiroga was born in El Paso, Texas and that is also
where she attended the University of Texas for undergrad. She
then moved to Florida to earn her master’s degree at the
University of Tampa. She currently works for MCI in Human
Resources and Habla Español. This summer, a job transfer
within MCI relocated her from Tampa to Boca Raton. All settled now in South Florida, she and her boyfriend, James, are
serious sports fans who enjoy going to sporting events and have
season tickets to the Dolphins. Deborah has been a Junior
League member since 2000 and she was previously on the Fun
Book committee where she visited children in the hospital and
entertained them with coloring books and arts and crafts.
Please take an opportunity at our next GMM or JLBR event to
welcome our fabulous new transfers.
HAVING FUN AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS
Would you like to meet more League
members? Are you looking for another
way to socialize with women who have
the same interests as you? It is easy - all
you need to do is join one of the Junior
League interest groups like: Bunco,
Book Club, or Wine Tasting. A number
of people have already signed up to join
the fun and make new friendships . . .
thank you! If you would like to assist in coordinating any interest group or be a member, please let us know. New interest
groups will be forming as we identify members and coordinators for them. We will have a table at the General Membership
Meeting so stop by and sign up or just call Maria Lasso
Morejon (561) 447-9106 or Catherine Timm (561) 649-2861.

Back again by popular demand, the Grant Writing Seminar will be
taught in spring once the new Vegso Community Resource Center
opens. There will be a sign up sheet at the Membership Training
and Satisfaction Committee table for those who are interested.

move in during December. Early January will be the official
opening. Remember, your name can be included on the membership plaque in the community room if you donate any
amount by December 1st. Yes, the deadline has been extended
to December 1st, so dig deep and contribute to our Capital

HEALTH NEWS
DENTISTRY RESTORES QUALITY OF LIFE
Many people are becoming aware of the
life changing impact that restorative and
cosmetic dentistry can have on health,
life and attitude. Every day patients are
replacing old, dark, corroding mercury
fillings with natural color, composite
fillings and scheduling their hygiene
appointments every three months (not
six) to ensure long-term dental health.
Madison Avenue has helped to promote
the idea of dazzling, bright smiles, prompting men and women
to try various methods available to whiten their teeth. Patients
with crooked or missing teeth, spaces, discoloration and other
symptoms are restoring their smiles to their natural form and
function with state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry because they
understand that a healthy, attractive smile impacts total wellbeing, self-esteem and both personal and professional relationships. We feel that the practice of dentistry involves more than
just creating beautiful smiles. Dentistry must also address a
person’s overall health and inner being.
There are always options from which you can choose when
deciding on dental treatment. Sometimes the choices may be as
simple as selecting the type of restorative material to use in a
filling or crown. At other times, patients have ground their teeth
down to “buds.” Is it caused by stress and tension or is it a
question of the occlusion ~ the way that your upper and lower
teeth fit together?
If you are contemplating major dental decisions such as cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, or full mouth rejuvenation or if
you suffer from:
headaches
tightness in the facial muscles
pain or stiffness in the jaws, neck and back
stuffiness or ringing in the ears
dizziness
tingling in the fingertips
BY KENNETH A. MOGELL, D.M.D.
Perhaps you can be helped through neuromuscular dentistry.
Why? This philosophy looks closely at the relationship between
the position of the teeth and the posture of the head. If we make
the assumption that a person’s present bite (occlusion) is always
best, traditional dentistry would restore a bite to that same position. That position may be “programmed” in your brain, but
that doesn’t necessarily mean that the present jaw position and
the muscles holding it in place are optimal . . . especially if you
are in constant discomfort. In fact, when a person’s bite is out
of alignment (malocclusion), extra stress is placed on the facial
and neck muscles which often leads to other health-related
issues. An improper bite can also cause you to clench and grind
and wear down your teeth. Neuromuscular dentistry allows us
to readjust the bite to its natural and comfortable position and
can relieve the problems caused by upper body muscular stress.
Neuromuscular testing is non-invasive. There are no injections
and no pain. Computer technology helps us to study the pattern
of jaw opening and closing with regard to the jaw, teeth and
muscles. How? The computer documents the exact point at
which your lower jaw is being held in relation to the upper teeth
and can measure the activity of the key muscles that control the
jaw while they are “firing” and while they are at rest. If these
diagnostic tests determine that your jaw position and bite need
adjustment to alleviate stress on the muscles, full mouth rejuvenation then realigns the bite and the upper body to a relaxed
neuromuscular position.
The new science of full mouth rejuvenation is a blend of artistic design combined with predictable science. Full mouth rejuvenation and neuromuscular dentistry can help you improve
your health and your quality of life.

NOVEMBER SNIPPETS!
BY CHERYL SCARDINA & PAM DISHER
As November is the month for the JLBR Annual
Toy Drive and Thanksgiving, we thought it
would be fun to share some of our member’s
favorite toys . . .
Linda Gunn said her favorite toy is her boyfriend
because he is such fun to play with! Leslie
Jackson loves to play on Play Station 2 with her
children, that is when they can get the controls
away from Mom! Who doesn’t remember the
Easy Bake Oven? Shalise Demott loved hers.
Remember those great little cakes? Imagine this;
Pamela
sustainer Joyce Devita’s favorite “toy” is her
cross trainer machine - no wonder she looks so great! Tracey
Rossi enjoys watching her two favorite guys sitting on their
Cheryl
BEST BARGAINS IN TOWN!
Imagine the joy that you could spread by purchasing a toy or
toys at the November General Membership Meeting. This
would be the perfect way to begin the season of giving: helping
children that are less fortunate by allowing them to create some
of their own memories. Who knows? Perhaps the toy you purchase could become a child’s favorite toy! All this in the true
spirit of giving and sharing with others.
From our homes to yours, we wish all of you a safe and blessed
Thanksgiving holiday.

TRANSITION REPORT
HISTORY OF THANKSGIVING & ITS CELBRATIONS
Throughout history mankind has celebrated the bountiful harvest with thanksgiving ceremonies. Before the establishment of
formal religions many ancient farmers believed that their crops
contained spirits which caused the crops to grow and die. Many
believed that these spirits would be released when the crops
were harvested and they had to be destroyed or they would take
revenge on the farmers who harvested them. Some of the harvest festivals celebrated the defeat of these spirits.
would fall from the moon and those who saw them would be
rewarded with good fortune.
Harvest festivals and thanksgiving celebrations were held by
the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Hebrews, the Chinese, and
the Egyptians.
The Hebrews: Jewish families also celebrate a harvest festival
called Sukkoth. Taking place each autumn, Sukkoth has been
celebrated for over 3000 years. When celebrating Sukkoth,
which lasts for 8 days, the Jewish people build small huts of
branches which recall the tabernacles of their ancestors. Inside
the huts are hung fruits and vegetables, including apples,
grapes, corn, and pomegranates. On the first 2 nights of
Sukkoth the families eat their meals in the huts under the
evening sky.
The Greeks: The ancient Greeks worshiped many gods and
goddesses, one being their goddess of corn, Demeter. She was
honored at the Festival of Thesmosphoria held each autumn.
On the first day of the festival married women would build
leafy shelters; on the second day they fasted; and on the third
day a feast was held and offerings to the goddess Demeter were
made - gifts of seed corn, cakes, fruit, and pigs to secure a good
harvest.
The Egyptians: The ancient Egyptians celebrated their harvest
festival in honor of Min, their god of vegetation and fertility.
The festival was held in the springtime, the Egyptian’s harvest
season. When the Egyptian farmers harvested their corn, they
wept and pretended to be grief-stricken. This was to deceive the
spirit which they believed lived in the corn. They feared the
spirit would become angry when the farmers cut down the corn
where it lived.
The Romans: The Romans also celebrated a harvest festival
called Cerelia, which honored Ceres their goddess of corn (from
which the word cereal comes). The festival was held each year
on October 4th and offerings of the first fruits of the harvest and
pigs were offered to Ceres. Their celebration included music,
parades, games and sports and a thanksgiving feast.
The United States: In 1621, after a hard and devastating first
year in the New World the Pilgrim’s fall harvest was very successful and plentiful. Since they had beaten the odds, were at
peace with their Indian neighbors, their Governor, William
Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving that was to be
shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native American
Indians. In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as
an annual custom. By the middle of the 19th century many other
states also celebrated a Thanksgiving Day. In 1863 President
Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving.
Since then each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day
proclamation, usually designating the fourth Thursday of each
November as the holiday.
The Chinese: The ancient Chinese celebrated their harvest festival, Chung Ch’ui, with the full moon that fell on the 15th day
of the 8th month. This day was considered the birthday of the
moon and special “moon cakes”, round and yellow like the
moon, would be baked. The families ate a thanksgiving meal
and feasted on roasted pig, harvested fruits and the “moon
cakes”. It was believed that during the 3 day festival flowers
