Boca Pointe is very near and dear to my heart, and I feel privileged to have been a part of a pivotal time in our Club’s “life” - a time when it is on the verge of a renaissance that we can all look forward to with excitement and pride. Our Club is one of the nicest gated country club communities in South Florida, and thanks to its leadership it remains in excellent financial condition. This is a true testament to our Club’s outstanding management, as year after year we continue to make sure that Boca Pointe offers the most comprehensive and best country club programs in the country, at a more than competitive price. I would certainly like to thank Paul Volin and the entire Boca Pointe staff for the hard work they put in every day to ensure our club runs at peak efficiency. I would also like to thank Teresa Barbara, the Board’s Administrative Assistant, for everything she does. We definitely could not do our jobs without her. Our members enjoy a menu of lifestyle choices, both in terms of membership privileges as well as daily activities that could keep even the most energetic among us worn out! Color War #3, for example, was a huge success this year, with everyone who participated in the various events having a wonderful time. And our younger members had a fantastic time at our I-9 sports summer camp. One of the highlights of the year was our highly successful Andy Roddick Celebrity Tennis Exhibition, which was held on December 9th to benefit disadvantaged children. It certainly was exciting to see the Davis Cup up close and get to watch a fabulous exhibition put on by Andy Roddick, James Blake, two-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova and Brenda Schultz. We should all be proud of the upgrade that has taken place in our food and beverage operation over the past year. With the promotion of Chef Terry to Executive Chef and the efforts of Richard Martino and his staff, our members enjoy an exceptional food and dining experience at a value unmatched at any other club. In an effort to keep the members abreast of all issues the Board has been working on concerning the future of the Club, we held a series of nine information sharing sessions, during which we brought members up-to-date on Mandatory Membership, plans for the Club’s renovation, Paul Volin’s planned retirement in 2009, Boca Pointe Real Estate Direct and other items of importance to the Club. I would like to thank the more than 800 members who attended these meetings and expressed interest in what has been happening at our Club. In addition, once a month there will be informal discussion sessions with the members and the Board. All members are welcome to attend. You have until March 10th to vote for your choice of candidates to fill the three vacant seats on the Board of Governors. Please be certain to pay careful attention to the candidates’ views, as the future of your Club depends on making the right choices. Over the past year we have begun paving an exciting path for the future of Boca Pointe Country Club. Now it will be up to you to decide what kind of club you want - and are willing to pay for. The future of Boca Pointe is in your hands. You can either decide to make it one of the most attractive, healthy, vibrant lifestyle communities in the South Florida market - or to allow it to become a club that “has seen better days.” You must decide. I thank you all for giving me the opportunity to participate over this past year in building the future of our wonderful Club. I hope that our seasonal residents enjoyed the season and, as they leave, I wish them all a safe trip and a happy, healthy summer. I also wish our year-round residents continued enjoyment of our facilities and amenities.

Manager’s Message , Managers Message message from the manager THERE IS AN OLD STORY ABOUT A REPORTER KNOCKING ON MARK TWAIN’S door after reports surfaced that Twain had died. The reporter was shocked to see Twain when he answered the door. Twin’s response to the reporter was classic. “Just tell them the reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated”. The rumor mill has been in full swing this season and the reports of my demise have also been greatly exaggerated. I have not resigned. In October, 2009 I will reach the ripe old age of 65. It occurred to me that it might then be a good time to hang it up and enjoy life, just as many of our members have done. Over the last 63 years I have retired three different times and failed miserably at it. Perhaps this time I will get it right. Time will tell. The “season” is in full swing and from an operations and financial standpoint things are going extremely well. Our restaurants are busy, our costs are under control and our special events (New Years Eve, Sweetheart Dinner Dance etc.) are receiving rave reviews. This year we have a record 28 seasonal employees from South Africa and Romania. They are a wonderful addition to our family of employees and the comments from the membership are overwhelmingly positive. As I write this we are in negotiations with the Board of the Community Association on a proposed Hybrid form of Mandatory Membership program that would be unique to Boca Pointe. I am hopeful that these talks will result in a vote by all Country Club members and all homeowners within Boca Pointe before the season is over. If it does not work out we will need to find a way to upgrade our facilities. We will also need to create new innovative membership programs that will be relevant to the next generation of Boca Pointe residents. Either way I believe that both the Club and the community as a whole need “closure” on the issue of Mandatory Membership so we can all get on with the business of developing our business model and ensuring a bright future for both the Club and the community.

All the staff at the spa would like to say a big thank you to everyone, both seasonal and year round members and guests, who supported us by using our services this past year. It’s hard to ignore the eco craze that’s sweeping the nation from the home to cuisine to massage and beauty products. We know that adopting an eco life is not an overnight task, but it is one we cannot and must not ignore any more. It is a learning process that begins with simple practices. On those lines, we are gradually introducing products that reflect the changes we must try to make. Organic Sugar Scrubs with French Lavender have been very popular. Certified organic ingredients gently awaken both skin and the Crown Chakra to inner radiance. The sugar crystals loosen and lift dead skin cells while detoxifying the skin by drawing moisture from the environment to keep skin naturally hydrated. French Lavender deeply soothes and restores dry skin and you are left feeling renewed and glowing. It is especially good for dry, tight, or itchy skin. Consider it a deep body cleansing. Many of our clients combine this ritual with a full body massage for deeper relaxation. $110 for 90 minutes (save with a series). Organic Facial Products, an alternative to AHAs are used in facial exfoliation. The all natural repair therapy contains the richest source of beta carotene, Vitamin A and ascorbic acid as topicals and derivatives that decrease the oxidative and free radical stress that other peels have. Photo Facials, another successful facial treatment, uses LED Light therapy by bio stimulating and regenerating skin cells to produce more collagen and increase faster cell turnover rate. Dramatic differences can be seen in women who receive proper skin care. $90 - $200 for 90 minutes. Basic 1 hour facials are $60. Massages, 7 different modalities are available individually priced from $65 or as further savings in a series of 6 which can be used by anyone in the family. Great when guests arrive. 90 minute massages are also available. Natural nails are our specialty with the need to book appointments several days in advance. Silk wraps eliminate the odor and inhalation of acrylics. And pedicures are sheer pampering and relaxation in our massaging chair in a private room. The Spa is open Tuesday - Saturday. Consultations are always free. Please call 864.8552. 12 Photo Gallery men’s member/guest tournament Facts From Fitness MARCH THE 3RD ANNUAL CHRIS BURGNER MEMORIAL BENCH CHALLENGE.

Photo Gallery Fitness & Spa healthy happenings Photo Gallery APRIL EGGS ARE BACK! Eggs have been a breakfast staple for hundreds of years, until scientists established a link between high cholesterol and heart disease in the 1950s and ’60s. Eggs are high in cholesterol, so it was reasonable to assume they could increase the risk of heart disease. Eggs have been in a nutritional limbo ever since. Recent studies found that eggs are excellent sources of protein- particularly in older adults. Harvard researches, in a study of 117,000 nurses, found that eating an egg daily posed the same risk of heart disease as eating one once a week. Another study found that eating three eggs a day promoted strength and muscle mass in older adults participating in a weight-training program without increasing cholesterol. Eggs are low in calories and fat and are excellent sources of high-quality protein, iron, B vitamins and minerals. Eating eggs for breakfast prevents hunger longer, because they contain protein and like Iron Mike says, “Protein First, Protein Last.” 13 BOCA POINTE BOCA POINTE march april calendar 2008 SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY calendar 2008 THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY Singles Tennis 1 Club Championship Semi Finals Bus Departs for Broward Stage Door 7:15p.m. APPEARING EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT Joel Odierno 7:30p.m., in the GCL Singles Tennis 2 Club Championship Finals 2 Man Challenge Rd. 2 Ends 3 LGA Team Fertilization Nassau Course Last Tee Time Noon/Range Closed at 3p.m. 2 Man Challenge Rd. 3 Begins 5 Bus Departs for 6 Calcutta Golf 7 Calcutta Golf 8 4 Duplicate Auction Bridge 7:15p.m. Broward Center Tournament BR 6:45p.m. Doo Wop Kids 2 Man Challenge 7:30p.m. ML MGA 4 Club Rd. 3 Ends Tournament Bus Departs for FAU 7:15p.m. 11 2 Man Challenge 9 Annual Meeting 10 Ladies 7p.m. MDR Finals Member/Guest Golf Tournament Bus Departs for FAU 7:15p.m. 16 St. Patrick’s Day Golf Mixer 12:30p.m. Shotgun Bus Departs for Amaturo Theatre 1:45p.m. Easter 23 Bus Departs for 30 Coral Springs Center for the Arts 6:15p.m. 12 Duplicate Bridge 7:15p.m. BR MGA 1 BB Team Putt Bus Departs for 13 Broward Stage Door 26th St. Theatre 6:45p.m. 14 Showtime The Piano Twins Mark & Clark 7:30p.m. BR Marty Kaye 7:30p.m. ML 19 Tennis Sports 17 LGA Beat The 18 Duplicate Bridge 7:15p.m. Pros Day BR Federation Sports MGA 2 Man Golf Day 8:30a.m. Stableford Shotgun Bus Departs for Kravis Center 6:45p.m. Wine Seminar 20 Doo Wop Kids 21 Bus Departs for 22 Bayside 8:30a.m. 6-7p.m. MPR 7:30p.m. ML Bus Departs for Palm Beach 9a.m. Boca Unos Seminar 7:30p.m. ROY 26 25 Duplicate Bridge 7:15p.m. BR 27 Social Bridge 28 MGA 29 6:45p.m. MCR Member/Member Rd. 1 MGA Member/Guest Smoker The Irresistibles Greg & Rachel 7:30p.m. ML 24 LGA Sadie Hawkins Sony Ericsson 31 Tennis Trip Bus Departs for Key Biscayne 9:30a.m. MONTHLY CLASSES Dance (Ellen Cullivan) Tuesdays, 7 - 8:15 p.m., in the Aerobics Room at the AC Painting Classes (Linda Wiener) Wednesdays, 1 - 4 p.m., in the Multi Purpose Room Moving Forward Seminar Thursdays, 10:15 a.m., in the Banquet Room Art Classes (Ester Proctor) Fridays, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. or 1 - 4 p.m., in the Multi Purpose Room Bridge Lessons Fridays 9:15 a.m., in the Imperial Room 14 Ladies Tennis 15 Member/Guest Tournament Disco Night 7:30p.m. MDR WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 2 Tennis Grand 3 Doo Wop Kids 4 MGA 5 1 Duplicate Tennis Grand Slam League Member/Member Bridge 7:15p.m. Slam League 7:30p.m. ML Final Rd. 8:30a.m. Playoff BR Championship Shotgun/Lunch Bus Departs for LGA Colorwar Manalapan 8:30a.m. Shotgun 6:45p.m. (Dutch Treat Lunch) Bus Departs for Kravis Center 6:45p.m. Tennis End of 6 Season Award Dinner Dance 6:30p.m. 7 LGA Pro Partner 8 Duplicate 9 Bridge 7:15p.m. BR MGA Ryder Cup Rd. 1 11 Bus Departs for 12 10 Showtime Parker Playhouse The Sensations 6:45p.m. 7:30p.m. BR Entertainment TBA 7:30p.m. ML 13 Bus Departs for 14 LGA Closing 15 Duplicate 16 Boca Unos 17 Doo Wop Kids 18 Passover 19 Golf Awards Dinner Dance Luncheon Bridge 7:15p.m. Seminar 7:30p.m. 7:30p.m. ML Miracle Mile Scramble 8:30a.m. BR ROY 10:30a.m. Passover Seder Bus Departs for Shotgun 6:30p.m. MDR Broward Center MGA Ryder Cup 12:45p.m. Final Rd. 8:30a.m. One Day Shotgun/Lunch Tennis Doubles Tournament No Entertainment GCL 21 Passover Seder 20 Fertilization 6:30p.m. MDR Course Last Tee Time Noon/Range Closed at 3p.m. 27 22 Duplicate 23 Bus Departs for 24 Social Bridge 25 Golf Course 6:45p.m. MCR Bridge 7:15p.m. Kravis Center Maintenance 6:45p.m. Top Dress & Verticut BR The Irresistibles Course Closed at Greg & Rachel Noon 7:30p.m. ML 26 30 28 LGA Surprise 9 29 Duplicate Bridge 7:15p.m. BR Bus Departs for Broward Center 6:45p.m. AC: Athletics Center AR: Ante Room BR: Banquet Rooms CC: Center Court CCC: Center Court Café EMB: Embassy Room GC: Grand Café GCL: Grand Café Lounge IMP: Imperial Room LCR: Ladies Card Room MCH: Main Clubhouse MCR: Men’s Card Room MDR: Main Dining Room ML: Main Lounge MPC: Match Pointe Café MPR: Multi-Purpose Room PT: Palms Terrace ROY: Royal Room 15 Calcutta Consolation Finalists Calcutta 1st and 2nd Place Calcutta 3rd and 4th Place Tennis Tennis tennis news New Year’s Day Mixer Upcoming Events MARCH 1st — 2nd 15th 31st Semis and Finals Singles Club Championships Ladies Member/Guest Nasdaq Tennis Trip Dedication of Stadium 19th Grand Slam League Championships End of Season Tennis Award Dinner Dance One Day Doubles Tournament Future Events Tennis May 13th — 15th May 17th May 26th Adult Tennis Camp One Day Doubles Tournament Memorial Day Mixer TENNIS CALCUTTA TOURNAMENT Over 90 members attended the party and auction.
