We look forward to hearing from Robert and Coach Candle as they share their strategies on how to take home the 2022 Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl Championship Trophy.
As if that wasn’t enough excitement to start off your Thursday morning – we will also hear from the West Boca Raton Community High School Ensemble Chorus – featuring 28 members of their group performing holiday favorites. This breakfast is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit!

Congratulations to Mayor Scott Singer for his re-election and Frank Nachlas for her election to Boca Raton City Council. Both obtained their seats without opposition in the March 2023 election.

We look forward to continuing to work with Mayor Singer, and are happy to now work with Councilwoman Nachlas, along with all members of City Council, to ensure job growth and economic prosperity in Boca Raton.
