Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) Awards Scholarships to
20 Young Women who will Attend Palm Beach County Colleges
2018, 2019 and 2020 AWE Scholarship Recipients
Boynton Beach, Fla. (July 1, 2020) – During a time when good news is sorely needed, the non-profit Alliance of Women Executives (AWE) made the college dreams of 20 Palm Beach County young women come true. The organization awarded $30,000 in scholarships to 20 deserving graduates at the organization’s scholarship awards ceremony, held June 23 via Zoom, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Coming from all walks of life, and with unique stories and often challenging backgrounds, eight of the recipients will be attending Palm Beach State College and twelve will become Florida Atlantic University students. Several are the first generation in their family to attend college, and all are accomplished both academically and in their service to the community. Their aspirations are equally ambitious, as they plan to pursue a variety of degrees from nursing, law, and medicine to criminology and the arts.
Founded just 4 years ago by business executive Vicki Tate, AWE offers professional and entrepreneurial women networking opportunities to share their business experience and knowledge while also promoting higher education for the next generation of women through academic scholarships. With the inclusion of the 2020 awards, a total of 36 scholarships have been granted to young Palm Beach women of promise since the organization’s inception.
“I am humbled and overwhelmed by our success in such a short time,” notes AWE founder Vicki Tate. “It’s a testament to the support of the community at large, the passion of the women who’ve become AWE members, and the promise of these incredible college-bound young women. I had the original vision, but they are responsible for the realization of the vision.”
The AWE motto is “She believed she could, so she did,” and the growth of AWE in four short years reflects a true embodiment of that maxim. “The first year of our existence we offered just one scholarship. The next year 4, and last year we gave out 12 scholarships,” says AWE Vice President Terri Dew, Administrator of Abacoa Golf Club. “This year, through strategic networking and sheer willpower, we were able to increase the scholarship count to 20 which is really an AWEsome achievement.”
Obtaining the extra funding alleviates some of the financial pressure the girls face as they seek their higher education. “Receiving this scholarship means a lot to me. It will help lift some financial burden and will allow me to focus more on school rather than worrying about paying for college,” notes Najuscka, the oldest of seven children and first in her family to attend college. With a goal of becoming an OB/GYN Najuscka adds, “I plan to set a great example for my siblings and make my parents proud.”
Brenda, who plans to become a pediatrician notes “This scholarship means the world to me … My other goal after I become a pediatrician is to open my own practice and start a charity that serves children in need.”
Kya, a marine sciences major, wants “to make a difference and break boundaries. “I’ve always loved the sea and want to help engineer ways to help save and protect it. I’m so incredibly grateful to receive the AWE Scholarship and cannot wait to see what the future holds.”
Helping these young future leaders achieve their ambitious goals is a key reason many companies and individuals have become AWE scholarship sponsors. We are grateful to the BallenIsles Charity Foundation, Theodore Babbitt and Jessica Cheatham Babbitt, Live Well Chiropractic, K & E Travel and many more including several real estate teams who donate after the closing of each property.
“I can’t thank the scholarship underwriters and the AWE membership enough for making this a banner year for AWE,” notes Vicki Tate. “The support the members are providing each other during this difficult time, coupled with the much-needed financial help we’re able to give these young women has made our mission even more relevant.”
Founding board member and Director of Marketing for Redevelopment Management Associates Sharon McCormick is optimistic about the future of the organization. “Though COVID-19 will surely present challenges for the year ahead, I am confident they will be overcome.”
ABOUT THE ALLIANCE OF WOMEN EXECUTIVES (AWE)
AWE provides a platform to bring like-minded professional women together, sharing knowledge, experiences and networking opportunities, while also making an impact on future generations of young women in Palm Beach by promoting higher education and making it accessible to them through scholarship awards. In 2019 the organization was awarded the prestigious “Advocates for Children Award” by the Florida’s Children First in recognition of the work they have done to provide funding for youth from foster care and other disadvantaged populations to attain a higher education.
The Alliance of Women Executives is the vision of Vicki Tate, brought to life with several of her friends and professional colleagues who share a passion for philanthropy and paying it forward. Together, they have built a strong network of women who turn professional acquaintances into personal friendships. The relationships created combined with their philanthropic vision is what draws members to not only join AWE, but to stay.

Palm Beach Photographic Centre Announces PICTURE DAY
Offering Free School Portraits to 50 Local Students
(West Palm Beach, FL – November 13, 2020) Fatima NeJame, president and chief executive officer of the world renowned Palm Beach Photographic Centre (PBPC), today announced the longtime nonprofit educational and creative force in downtown West Palm Beach, is participating in PICTURE DAY, a new public service initiative to provide free school portraits to 50 local students.
As students return to the classroom during the current COVID pandemic, many familiar educational and social experiences are absent, including the traditional school picture day. To fill this visual void, the Photo Centre is offering 50 local students a fine art school portrait.
“We are inviting families to bring their school-age children to receive a free portrait, taken by members of our talented faculty,” says NeJame. “The portraits will be captured in a uniform fashion—at a proper social distance, of course—at the Photo Centre’s professional studio adjacent to the Mandel Public Library in downtown West Palm Beach.”
The parent or guardian needs to contact the Photo Centre at 561.253.2600 to schedule the free school portrait. The child must be accompanied by an adult for the photo session. This community initiative is currently limited to 50 students on a first-come basis.
After each photo shoot, students will receive a 5×7 portrait, printed on archival paper. There will also be a virtual PICTURE DAY gallery housed on PBPC’s website (www.workshop.org).
PICTURE DAY was developed in conjunction with the Palm Beach Photographic Centre by local author and photographer Susan Currie.
“Reflecting back on my personal experiences (as both a student and a parent), ‘back to school’ often translated to ‘picture day’—a tradition which for a moment, stops time and documents a year in the life of a student’s personal development. PICTURE DAY was conceived as a vehicle for keeping that tradition alive for students,” says Currie, who began her creative career photographing children about 20 years ago, although she has been focusing her lens on other subjects in recent years.
“This just feels like a calling right now—to turn my lens back to where I began,” she adds. “I am grateful to the Photo Centre for the many rich educational experiences it has brought me personally, and now PICTURE DAY is just one more way to give back creatively to our local community.”
PICTURE DAY is being generously supported by Lensbaby, an Oregon-based manufacturer of special effects camera lenses and accessories. The company’s mission is to support photographers in discovering “more wonder.”
“At Lensbaby, we want to empower creatives to give back to their community, especially when it involves youth,” says Michael Anthony, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. ‘Through collective effort we can do something extraordinary by positively impacting those people who are touched by our art.”
Currently on display at PBPC is the 24th Annual Members’ Show, a juried exhibition that showcases the work of its members, both inside the Photo Centre and on its Web site, www.workshop.org.
About the Palm Beach Photographic Centre:
The Photo Centre is located at the downtown City Center municipal complex at 415 Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. Hours are 10 am to 5 pm. Monday through Saturday. For more information, please call 561.253.2600 or visit www.workshop.org or www.fotofusion.org.
The Palm Beach Photographic Centre is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching life through the photographic arts. All donations are greatly appreciated at www.workshop.org/contrib.

As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m thinking about how I’m thankful for you – our readers, writers, photographers and sponsors. Thank you for being a part of AroundWellington and making it happen! Whether you play it very safe and Zoom for Thanksgiving or actually get together with a few family members, I hope it’s a special time, a time where you can come together and almost erase the bad parts of 2020! Here’s to a better new year and perhaps an end to the Coronavirus.
Our articles run the gamut from axe-throwing to getting quality sleep to college applications to a hindsight bucket list. I really appreciate the variety of topics, hope you do too. So, yes, check out Denise Marsh’s “It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s an axe” in “Cultural Corner.” Denise took me along on this axe-throwing adventure and it was a cathartic experience.
Speaking of adventures, the Sweethearts, our favorite dessert-reviewing married couple, take us on a savory/sweet trip to YoYo’s Asian Street Food in Port Saint Lucie. See their fun and funny video this month by going to “Yummy Treats.”
Are you getting a quality sleep? Most people I know would say “no.” Guest writer Dianne Park takes a turn at “Health & Fitness” and gives us a few tips.
Do you have a bucket list? Well, our travel writer Terri Marshall confesses that she doesn’t have one, but she looks back on her zany travel adventures, including getting naked in Germany, and realizes that she has a “Hindsight Bucket List.” See “Travel with Terri.”
You’ve probably heard of Greta Thunberg, but have you heard of local environmental activist Erica Allen? She’s making waves and making a difference. Bryan Hayes interviews her in this month’s “Living Green.”
I’m also thankful that our terrific Mayor Anne Gerwig is still at the helm and still writing a Mayor’s Column to keep us posted on what’s going on around Wellington. See her article this month. I should note that it’s Veteran’s Day as I write this letter. So, thank you, veterans, for your service!
While some people are rushing around getting ready for the holidays, high school students have something else on their minds. Read “Teen Talk” by Summer Wadleigh and find out why your grades are not necessarily a reflection of you when it comes to college application season.
In “Mommy Moments” this month, Melanie Lewis talks about her son taking the lemons that he’s been given and making lemonade. Well, actually he’s got a broken computer and a lot of time on his hands (thanks to Covid-19), and he ends up learning to build a computer. Now that’s a great homeschooling experience.

New Robot Designed to Detect Lung Cancer Proves Successful Just in Time for Lung Cancer Awareness Month
After only 9 weeks of use at JFK Medical Center, located in Palm Beach County, the Monarch Robot has proven successful in the fight against lung cancer for South Florida.
“The robot is important because it helps us diagnose and treat cancers early. Early diagnosis is important because that is the only thing that improves survival. The earlier the cancer is detected, the more treatment options are available,” said Dr. Adam Wellikoff, pulmonologist for Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Disorders Institute of South Florida (PCSI) in Palm Beach County.
It’s the robot’s ability to reach new real estate in the lung, that was previously deemed inaccessible, that first caught the attention of JFK Medical Center in Atlantis, Florida. It is able to do so with precision and accuracy while being operated by a remote controlled-like, handheld device.
“I was able to biopsy an area of the lung that I typically wouldn’t have been able to reach on a woman who’s symptoms were suspicious of lung cancer, and they were in fact positive and we were able to get her to the next much sooner”, says Dr. Wellikoff.
Her COPD symptoms mimicked those of lung cancer. Dr. Welliffok was able to reach the nodule in an area of the lung via the Monarch robot that would otherwise be out of reach. As a result, she followed up with CyberKnife to have the mass removed.
“I’ve had shortness of breath for a little while and I’ve been to several doctors,” explains Monarch Robot patient, Betty Thompson. “I went to the hospital and had a test and that test came back good. Dr. [Wellikoff] recommended that I have this next test, he called me and told me I had cancer.”
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society, lung cancer is the second most common cancer in both men and women and the leading cause of death from cancer. But if found in earlier stages, when it is small and before it has spread, it is more likely to be successfully treated.
“People like to put things that are scary to the back of their minds, but it is important to keep [lung cancer screening] at the front of your mine because we can make a difference”, urges Dr. Wellikoff. “We can help you survive this, we can help you tolerate, and we can help you get answers but that’s all incumbent upon you coming to us.”
