This month, we are proud to present the winners of the 2023 Our Wellington Awards, which honor an array of amazing community activists who through their efforts make Wellington a better, stronger community. Please join us in saluting Mickey and Lizz Smith, Leslie Pfeiffer, John Sitomer, RoseAnn Voils, Beverly Perham and Ruth Menor. Read through this issue to learn all about these wonderful honorees.
Also featured is a true Wellington treasure, the Florida Rowing Center on Lake Wellington. For the past 40 years, this unique facility has been a winter destination for avid rowers from around the world. It is being revitalized by new owners Tracy and Howard Kirkpatrick, who have put an emphasis on developing a new crew of youth rowers to help build this international sport locally.
This month’s Wellington Today feature by Village Manager Jim Barnes focuses on the amazing cooperative programs that the village has with its many supporters through the highly successful Community Partners Roundtable. Wellington Table visits Pizza Cucinova, which opened recently on the upper level of the Mall at Wellington Green, serving up classic Italian dishes in the Neapolitan style.
Wellington The Magazine will return in October with our annual Palm Beach Brides edition, featuring the latest in local wedding stories, fashion and trends. Contact us today to learn more about this unique, special edition.
