HOMESAFE APPOINTS HILLARY DOBBS TO NONPROFIT’S BOARD

Palm Beach Private Banker and West Palm Beach Resident to Serve on Board of Directors

(Lake Worth, Fla.) – The Board of Directors of HomeSafe, a local nonprofit with a mission to help South Florida victims of child abuse and domestic violence, recently elected Hillary Dobbs to the Board. Dobbs is an Associate Private Banker and Assistant Vice President at Malvern Federal Savings Bank on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach.

HomeSafe is a nationally accredited nonprofit protecting Palm Beach County’s and South Florida’s most vulnerable residents – victims of child abuse and domestic violence. Through its results-driven approach, the organization is the leading provider of prevention and intervention services, serving more than 14,500 infants, children, young adults and families each year. HomeSafe is one of just five specialized residential therapy homes in the state of Florida—the only one in Southeast Florida—and currently cares for 50 percent of all of the children these organizations serve.  

“HomeSafe welcomes Hillary Dobbs to the Board of Directors,” said Matt Ladika, CEO for HomeSafe. “Her professional background in private banking will be an exceptional asset to our fundraising endeavors and the overall success of HomeSafe.”

Dobbs graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Harvard University in 2010. At Malvern Federal Savings Bank she is responsible for a wide range of private banking, customized wealth management and advisory services including trust, investment management and brokerage services, to high-net-worth individuals and families, foundations and endowments. 

Prior to her career in banking, Dobbs was a coach for the University of South Carolina’s equestrian team, one of the nation’s strongest collegiate equestrian programs. She is an accomplished equestrian and during her professional riding career, she earned 31 Grand Prix wins, becoming the youngest rider ever to win over $1 million in prize money. She set records as the youngest rider to win several major show titles and has won four gold and silver medals representing the U.S. in international team competition. She placed sixth at the 2008 Olympic Trials and sixth at the 2010 World Equestrian Games Trials. Dobbs also qualified and competed in two World Cup Finals.

Dobbs was born in Sussex, New Jersey and currently lives in West Palm Beach with her husband Christian D’Andrea and their son.

HomeSafe’s Board Officers include Lawrence W. Gonnello, President; Aggie Stoops, Vice President; Steven Bernstein, Treasurer; Tarra L. Pressey, President Elect and Michael J. Bruno, Secretary.

Why Dogs Are Our Best Friends, Unconditionally

Why Dogs Are Our Best Friends, Unconditionally

Why Dogs Are Our Best Friends, Unconditionally

By Julie Schrager

Why do we love our dogs so much? What is it about these furry animals that make them so irresistible? Of course, you might say, “he’s just so cute.” Or, “she is so cuddly.” Sure, these reasons are legitimate but did you ever think it’s because they love us? Unconditionally.

Dogs Just Get It

People just don’t cut it. I’m sorry. But it’s the truth. Dogs love us no matter what. That cannot be said about all humans. If we try to ignore our dogs, they will love us without judgment. If we feed them late, they will still give us wet kisses. They always know when we need some extra affection without even asking for it. When we are feeling ill, they are right by our side. Dogs just seem to get us, to understand us with no special language being spoken.

Let Me Break It Down

Fitness

We all need to exercise, whether we like it, love it, or hate it. Having a dog pushes us out of our home and into a regimen of walking. Exercise gives off endorphins. Endorphins make us happy. Shouldn’t this be reason enough to exercise? Or, look at it this way, you can achieve your 10K steps each day by taking your companion for walks.

Emotional Support

Research has shown that dogs help alleviate stress and anxiety. They are very intuitive and can sense when their owners are having an emotional crisis. Other ways dogs help us with emotional support are:

  • reduce depression
  • less frequent doctor visits
  • lower blood pressure
  • help us to live longer

They’re Smarter Than Us?

There’s a reason why the fire department utilizes dogs to find people and other animals under collapsed buildings due to a fire. The police department and military utilize dogs to sniff out drugs and bombs. Dogs are used to guide people who are blind. Service dogs help people with disabilities. Specially trained dogs are incredibly smart and become their owner’s best friend and companion.

They Are Wise

How easy is it for you to just take one day at a time? It’s not easy for many. Yet, dogs simply have this attitude. They are so enthusiastic about life and embrace every second of it. Consider this…our dogs inspire us to live our best life. We learn from them how to appreciate the moment and embrace it.

My Dog My Protector

Back in the 1570s, dogs were used to herd sheep. At the same time, dogs were responsible for protecting sheep. As the world continued to evolve and dogs became more domesticated, humans became the ones dogs would start to protect. They have an extraordinary sense of smell and can hear much better than humans. This is why some breeds make great guard dogs. And because dogs consider their owner a part of their pack, they will protect them to the end.

These few points give you some clarity into understanding why dogs are our best friends, unconditionally. They will love us forever. They are not nearly as complicated as us. They hold no judgment against us. We can’t do anything wrong in their minds.

We don’t deserve them.

Boca Raton Historical Society & Museum Announces $1M Donation & New Nam
Mary Csar, Dick Schmidt in WWII Gallery

Funds Earmarked for Reimagination, Redesign and Renovation of the Newly Renamed

SCHMIDT BOCA RATON HISTORY MUSEUM

Boca Raton, FL – September 24, 2021) The Board of Trustees of the Boca Raton Historical Society today announce a generous $1 million donation from The Schmidt Family Foundation,led by Barbara and Dick Schmidt, to rename the museum the Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum (SBRHM). Funds from this donation will be used to sponsor the Museum’s public display areas, new immersive exhibits, and internal gathering spaces, including the historic Council Chamber and heavily-used research library.

“The history of Boca Raton is important to our community, so it is important to me and my family, a legacy that began with my parents, Charles and Dorothy Schmidt,” Dick Schmidt declared during a recent tour of the completely renovated museum that is housed in the city’s historic Town Hall, located at 71 N. Federal Highway in downtown Boca Raton (33432).

“The Schmidt Family Foundation has been a longtime partner and generous supporter of this museum going all the way back to Boca Raton’s original downtown redevelopment plan in the 1980s,” says Mary Csar, Executive Director. “This donation—one of the largest in the Museum’s nearly 50-year history—will underwrite a significant portion of our ongoing top-to-bottom reimagination, redesign and renovation, leading up to our official reopening and relaunch later this year.”

“The Schmidt Family Foundation is proud to support the purpose and community outreach of this truly valuable organization,” says Barbara Schmidt. “The redubbed Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum meets our mission of strengthening and enriching our community through education.”

“The historic Boca Raton Town Hall has been our home since the mid-1980s,” says Csar. “But, due to space limitations, our exhibitions have been temporary and largely two-dimensional. Not any longer. The dynamic redesign of the new Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum will allow for both permanent and changing exhibitions that will appeal to families, students and research buffs of all ages—a project we call History Alive!” 

The new exhibits will bring to life the growth and development of Boca Raton from a small farming town to the dynamic internationally known city it is today. They incorporate artifacts and images from the museum’s extensive local history collections.

The new permanent galleries include:

+ Boca Raton Timeline, starting with the earliest Pre-Columbian inhabitants up to the 21st Century.

+ Pioneer, focused on the local heritage of a small farming community.

+ Addison Mizner, featuring the museum’s important collection of Mizner Industries and architectural drawings and images of the great architect’s plans, which put the tiny town of Boca Raton on the map in the 1920s.

+ World War II, when the Boca Raton Army Air Field served as the Air Corps’ top secret radar training facility.

+ IBM, celebrating Boca Raton as the home of the IBM PC personal computer.

In addition, the Council Chamber will feature display areas and cabinetry for changing exhibits and will also function as the museum’s lecture hall. The redesigned Research Library will house the Society’s extensive archival collections and provide workstations for research patrons.

The Boca Raton Historical Society is still raising funds for this ambitious renovation, and naming opportunities are still available, from the gift shop, research library and council chambers to individual decades within the captivating historical timeline that runs the full length of the museum. Anyone interested in helping to preserve and promote Boca Raton’s amazing history can do so by contacting Mary Csar directly at 561.395.6766 or director@bocahistory.org.

About the Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum:

The Schmidt Boca Raton History Museum is the home of the Boca Raton Historical Society, whose mission is to collect, preserve, and present information and artifacts relevant to the past and evolving history of Boca Raton and to maintain a visible role in the education and the advocacy of historic preservation in the community. Although closed to the public for more than a year due to the COVID pandemic, the Historical Society used this time to complete the History Alive! project.
