The holiday season is upon us! To help you get into the festive spirit, we preview the 41st annual Wellington Holiday Parade, which returns Sunday Dec. 14. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for the perfect gift, check out our Holiday Gift Guide featuring stores in the Mall at Wellington Green.
Elsewhere this issue, we profile the Standard Americans, a Wellington-based band that recently released a new album. We also check out all the excitement when Villari’s Studios of Self Defense hosted the Southeastern Invitational. We preview the upcoming Boys & Girls Club Wellington Dinner Dance and profile new members of the Wellington Regional Medical Center Board of Governors.
Our Wellington Family series concludes this month with a profile of the Muskal family. Rabbi Mendy Muskal and his wife Miriam arrived in Wellington more than 25 years ago to start a Jewish congregation affiliated with the Chabad movement. The entire family is now involved in growing the unique community they have formed. In Wellington Today, Village Manager Jim Barnes looks back on the past 30 years since Wellington’s incorporation. Finally, Wellington Table visits the Cellar at Palm Beach Polo, a unique social hotspot featuring a wine bar and cigar room.
Keep an eye out for the special 30th anniversary historical magazine that we are producing for the Village of Wellington, available later this month. And also be sure to mark the evening of Friday, Jan. 2 on your calendar to stop by the Wellington Amphitheater for the community celebration marking the village’s 30th anniversary.
From our family to yours, we wish you a joyous and festive holiday season, and a happy new year.
