September, 2010 – JCC Breast Cancer Club
Contact: Scott Benarde
Phone: 561-712-5231
Email: scottb@jcconline.com
Lore & Eric F Ross JCC, 8500 Jog Road, Boynton Beach, FL 33472, (561) 740-9000
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ross JCC starts ‘club’ for women who have survived
breast cancer, or are being treated for it
Goal is to enhance overall health while contending with the illness
BOYNTON BEACH — In conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the Lore & Eric F. Ross JCC is inaugurating the Pink Ribbon Wellness Club tailored for women who have survived breast cancer or are being treated for it. The goal of this high-caliber wellness program is to enhance participants’ quality of life socially as well as physically. The classes run twice a week for 12 weeks and begin on Oct. 5.
Breast cancer treatments can be life-saving, but often cause exhaustion and other health concerns. Research shows that, whether in the midst of treatment or post treatment, the right blend of exercise can help:
o Increase energy and strength
o Restore ease in performing daily tasks
o Maintain healthy body weight
o Improve overall cardiovascular functions
o Boost general quality of life
The Pink Ribbon Wellness Club aims to accomplish all of that.
“One of the priorities of the JCC is healthy living, and this new program addresses a vital quality-of-life and health issue for many women in our community,” said JCC Health and Fitness Director Shawn McDougall, whose mother is a Stage 3B breast cancer survivor.
The twice weekly 60-75 minute sessions are structured in a group environment with individual goals and limitations taken into consideration. The sessions will be lead by the Lore and Eric F. Ross JCC Health, Fitness and Wellness Education staff. Once cleared to enroll in the Club, participants will go through aerobic, strengthening, flexibility, and relaxation components. Sessions will also include nutritional consultations, and mind and body offerings (massage therapy and yoga), as well as group support.
Through physical activity, nutrition education, and behavior modification, the Pink Ribbon Wellness Club creates a holistic blend of components essential to improve an individual’s health and well-being.
The Pink Ribbon Wellness Club program is partly funded by the South Florida affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
For more information about the Pink Ribbon Wellness Club, contact JCC Health and Wellness Director Shawn McDougall at 561-259-3016 or Shawnm@JCConline.com
The mission of the Jewish Community Center of the Greater Palm Beaches is to create a strong Jewish community by providing high quality programs close to where people live that connect people to Jewish life.
The JCC is an affiliated agency of the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.

September, 2010 – FPL Offers Energy Program
FPL: Business Energy Evaluation
Lower operating costs with energy efficiency help from FPL
Energy costs can be a significant portion of a business’ operating budget, yet many mistakenly treat them as fixed expenses. Cost control can come with managing energy use, and fortunately, there are simple steps that businesses can take to reduce energy use and improve the bottom line.
FPL offers a free and easy way to help you reduce your energy consumption through its Business Energy Evaluation. The program helps businesses understand their electricity usage and identify potential ways to save through efficiency.
When you schedule a BEE, an FPL energy expert will visit your facility for a top-to-bottom examination. Along with the evaluation, the review process includes an analysis of your business’ billing history and a side-by-side review of how your company compares to industry standards for similar businesses. When the evaluation is complete, the specialist provides a personalized energy analysis and recommends ways to improve your business’ energy efficiency. Some of the low- or no-cost measures may be implemented immediately, while others may require some longer-term planning. For smaller businesses, FPL also offers an Online Business Energy Evaluation at www.FPL.com.
Common suggestions include installing a programmable thermostat that automates temperature settings to maximize efficiency according to your hours of operation or adding occupancy sensors that automatically turn off lighting in areas with transient use.
FPL also provides information about potential rebates to help offset the cost of needed equipment upgrades. FPL ’s energy-efficiency incentives can often be the deciding factor when determining whether investing in new equipment is the right decision for a business.
A good energy plan is good business. To register for a BEE or for additional information about FPL tips, programs and incentives to help your business save money, visit www.FPL.com/4BEE or call 877-748-4BEE.

HARDSCAPES IN THE LANDSCAPE
Bill Reeve is leading off with a presentation focusing on landscape features many of us include in our gardens and that very often lay the groundwork for the overall landscape design.
Landscape Architect, Bill Reeve, will discuss the role that hardscape design and selection play in the overall plan of a residential project. He will review the most commonly used hardscape elements such as swimming pools, patios/walkways, water features, arbors/trellises and art in the landscape. Understanding the order of design and the impact of each hardscape design decision and its relationship with the landscape will be the main focus of this lecture.
William H. Reeve IV is the president of Botanical Visions, Inc.
He has over twenty-six years of experience in the design/horticulture trade in the South Florida region. He promoted the extension program, and has served on various professional organization boards and communities. He worked closely with the Children Services Council staff on various aspects of the development of the Parenting Education Center. Bill is nationally certified in landscape design by the Association of Professional Landscape Designers. Botanical Visions, Inc. received the Landscape Excellence Award for 2010 in Boca Raton.
