COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
I have worked with many charities for the past 24 years..wether
it be on a committee or doing all the baskets for
their fund raising efforts. I am involved with the
Boca Raton Hospital Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis,
Zonta, The Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce, The ARC,
Chris Evert charities, Boca Raton Roundtable,The
Humane Society, Women For Excellence and Women that
Win. Being that I am in the type of business with
gift baskets I have always tried to support the charites
that have approached me for wrapping items for their
fundraiser or donating a basket to raise money.
I have received awards from the Chamber of Commerce
for the Small Business Person of the Year, and was
honored as Tico Tores Golf Classic for the ARC of Palm
Beach County for being a Co-Chair, I have received
an award from the Soroptimist Club for woman of the
year as well as the Twin Palms Center for my involvement.
What is the biggest adversity you have had to overcome
and how did it impact you?
I think everyone
knows the neon sign saga with the City of Boca Raton..I
lost the Business and moved to Delray Beach for 5 years
but Boca Raton was always in my heart…I made
the move back to Boca in March of 2007 and feel like
I am home again.
It was hard after 18 years to pick up the pieces
and start again but I put my heart and soul and sweat
and tears into this business that I love..but I was
able to overcome it all and keep on going.
What accomplishments are you most proud of?
The accomplishments that I am most proud of are running
a business and pleasing people with our products
and services and that I have been in this business
for the past 24 years. I feel very blessed to have
a wonderful and happy and fulfilled life and that
I can give back to my community. I am very blessed
to have a wonderful family and that my parents were
able to work with me for many years in the business.
