As a young boy in elementary school, he started small businesses which eventually led to the formation, in 1971, in Westchester County, of Centennial Communications, a mail order company selling consumer communication equipment such as citizen band radio, wallkie-talkies, phone equipment, etc. This company became one of the top distributors in the country in the 1970s, exceeding fifty million dollars a year in business. In 1985 he expanded his operations into Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Catskill, New York, and Orlando and Miami, Florida, diversifYing into the cellular phone industry, professional and studio video equipment, the electronic security industry and the manufacturing of wireless cable. In 1994 he became an owner in the Florida Hammerheads, the first professional roller hockey team in the State of Florida. In the late 1980s, he started a company that purchased commercial office and warehouse buildings around the Miami Airport, renovated them, and rented them out to government agencies. In 1992 he semi-retired to allow him to devote his time and energies to various charities and community organizations He has been recognized by the County of Rockland, in New City, NY, for his devoted service to the community. He has also been recognized, for his involvement and contributions, by the Prime Minister Club of the State ofIsrael. He has received the Maimonides Award from Temple Emanu- el of Greater Miami, the highest award bestowed upon Jewish leaders in South Florida. He has received numerous awards and recognition from many charities, and civic, community and business organizations. Born in New York City, he received a Bachelor of Science degree in bio-chemistry at Fairleigh Dickinson University. After graduation, he enlisted in the National Guard and spent a year of active duty and five years in a National Guard program. After his year of active duty, he attended Pace Graduate School of Business for a Masters in Market Management. During that time, he became involved with the electronic industry and formed Centennial Communications. After marrying his wife Florence, they lived for twenty years in Rockland County with their family of four children, Stacey, Jason, Lisa and Penny. Ten years ago, they moved down to Williams Island, Florida, where they now reside. .- ,- CANDIDATE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Born in New York City, i received a Bachelor of Science degree in Bio-Chemistry from Fairleigh Dickenson University. After graduation, I enlisted in the National Guard and spent a year of active duty and five years in a National Guard Program. I then attended Pace Graduate School of Business for a Masters degree in Market Management. During that time, I became involved in the electronics Industry and formed Centennial Communications. Since then, I have founded many companies in the fields of electronics manufacturing and retail and wholesale distribution, opening locations in several states. In 19S2, I formed a building, construction and real estate management company in South Florida. After marrying my wife, Florence, we moved to Rockiand County, NY and raised a family of four: Stacey, Jason, Lisa and Penny. Ten years ago, we moved to Williams Island. We were residents of the 4000 Building for a short time, when I became involved with the the turnover of the building from the developer to the Unit Owners. I functioned in the capacity of Co-Chairman 01 the Engineering Committee, with the responsibility of hiring the most qualified Engineering Contractors available. I determined, oversaw and negotiated all areas of building concerns that dealt with engineering. I was one of the very first residents of the 1000 Building and was involved in negotiations with the developer. I was eiected to the Board 01 Dlrectora 01 the 1000 Island Boulevard Condominium Association during the turnover process, along with Arthur Berger and Harvey Shapley. As President, I was instrumental in secur- ing the same Engineering Contractors who did such a fine job at the 4000 Building. With the help of Arthur Berger, I negotiated with the developer to receive close to $400,000 from them. The 1000 Building was the only condominium on Williams Isiand to receive this type of consideration from the developer. In addition, I have been recognized by Rockland County, NY for devoted service to the community. I am also a past President 01 Temple Emanu-EI in Miami Beach and received the Malmonldes Award, the highest honor the Temple bestows upon Jewish leaders In South Florida. I have also received numerous awards and recognitions from many charities, civic and business organizaitons. I have been involved, have cared about my neighbors and our building, and feel that I have the necessary expertise and experience to make sure that our building continues to be properiy maintained with amenities that will further enhance our lives. I am a strong advocate of money management, am interested in getting the best val- ues and services we can afford, and will continue to be conscientious in keeping the maintenance payments as low as possible. I have been serving on the 1000 Island Boulevard Condominium Board 01 Directors lor the past two yesrs and am looking forward to continuing to contribute my time and energies to this position.

In light of the September 11th terrorist attacks, the theme of this years Founders Day will be "AVENTURA SALUTES AMERICA", and residents are encouraged to wear patriotic colors. Due to heightened security measures, all personal belongings will be subject to search. In addition, we will be providing a bloodmobile and a fundraising booth for the families of police officers and firefighters who lost their lives protecting and rescuing others. We have included a special rendition of the National Anthem with the Police Honor Guard in between the opening act and Roberta Flack. As a grand finale, all concert- goers will be given red, white and blue glow-sticks to wave during a brief close proximity fireworks show. As the concert should be ending during twilight, it should be a moving and patriotic display for all residents. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

In fact efforts to build an arts center began here in the early 19505. The first step in this direction came with the arrival of the Palm Beach Playhouse, now the Royal Poinciana Playhouse. IIIIII -----. ---_._- In 1968, one local arts pioneer, Mary Howes, along with a group of other residents, formed Fin. Art'e c_.......-. . sponsored t would aceol productions lohn Volk t, land was op Auditorium. yet ready to OJ))J ~ ' ~~ ?vd @tODOfD Early Eftl - ---...., Council of the Arts (recently renamed the Palm Beach County Cultural Council) was created, largely as a result of the efforts of Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr., then chairman and president of Photo Electronics Corporation{WPEC TV- 12, and Judith Goodman, an executive with Mr. Dreyfoos' firm. One of the goals of the council was to explore the possibility of building a major performing arts center. By 1980, the Arts Center Committee was actively pursuing the construction of an arts center financed solely with private funds. Although a s~e at Currie Park on Lake Worth in West Palm Beach had already been selected, the community was not yet ready to meet the financial chalienge that the Center presented. Initial efforts to secure public funding focused on a proposed county one cent sales tax referendum. Although the referendum was defeated, results showed that some thirty percent of voters had agreed to tax themselves to build a world-class performing arts center. These results were encouraging. @ too of Daoe Getting It Built By 1983, plans for the location of the Center had changed. Because of neighborhood opposition, Currie Park was no longer an option. Instead, planners switched their focus to a site adjacent to Palm Beach Community College in John Prince Park. The Center gathered $20 million in public commitments, but at this point at least another $5 million needed to be raised to build the center. In 1985, Mr. Dreyfoos kicked off the private fundraising campaign with a $1 million gift from Photo Eleq:ronics Corporation/WPEC TV-12. Then, in 1986, came a multimillion dollar contribution that shifted fund raising efforts into high-gear. A consortium of friends of Oklahoma native Raymond F. Kravis, a prominent geologist and philanthropist who wintered with his wife Bessie in Palm Beach, agreed to raise $5 million in Mr. Kravis' honor. The gift served as a major catalyst to the private fund raising campaign and inspired the Center's official name. By the time the center opened to the public in 1992, contributions in Mr. Kravis' honor totaled over $10 million. ~t: '''P~ . :.c1" ~~ f':''''f.:'----f~. A year long review of architects culminated in 1986 with the selection of world~renowned Canadian architect, Eberhard Zeidler of Toronto~based Zeidler-Roberts Partnership. As the community's support for the Center grew, the scope and function of the facility that was originally envisioned expanded. The estimated cost for this new type of facility was $55 million. The community responded positively to this new plan, with Barnett Bank assembling a consortium of banks to offer a $17 million construction loan, backed by county issued Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. It seemed that all was a go, as a ground breaking ceremony took place at the community college site. However, just one month later, negotiations with the college came to a halt when it was learned that state regulations pro'hibited any debt financing to be used for the construction of facilities on community college campuses. At this juncture, the City of West Palm Beach offered a 5.4 acre parcel of prime downtown real estate as an alternate site. The land was part of Downtown/Uptown, a large~scale private redevelopment project. In addition the city offered a $5 million contribution and long-term financing for the construction of the parking garage. At this time, Blount, Inc., builder of, amongst other major facilities, the New Orleans Superdome, was chosen as the construction company that would build the Center. Blount began the 36 month construction schedule in September of 1989. They were joined by New York-based Artee Consultants' Russell Johnson, who designed the pristine acoustics of the main concert hall. In addition, Robert Metzger Interiors, also based in New York, brought a '405 Mademe motif to everything from the carpeting and furniture to the colors of the marble. Fundraising efforts proceeded beyond everyone's most optimistic hopes, and by the summer of 1991, it was evident the center would likely achieve an unheard of goal--a fully funded opening. The accomplishment, especially in light of the high percentage of private funding, made international headlines. @. too of Dace The Grand Opening In September of 1992, the Kravis Center doors opened to an anxiously awaiting community. The Center's dedication week hosted tens of thousands of patrons for a full week of free performances featuring local arts groups. The Gala Grand Opening took place on November 28, 1992 and featured the following program: Act I: Aorida Philharmon Orchestra, James Judd, Conductor Burt Reynolds, Master of Ceremonie Roberta Peters Isaac Stern Leontyne Price Ella Fitzgerald Act II: Faith Prince Uly Tomlin The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater More than 2,000 guests attended the spectacular event along with one of the largest national and forelgn press corps to ever cover an arts center opening. After the star-studded show, guests proceeded to the magically transformed roof of the Kravis Center parking garage where the dinner dance took place. @. top of page Perforllling Arts Center The Performing Arts Center of Greater Miami will add an architectural landmark and world-class cultural facility to the downtown landscape, enhancing the area's growing reputation as the Capital of the Americas and a major international center for business, sports, tourism and entertainment. .

GRASSROOTS ADVOCACY TIPS MUNICIPAL OFFICIALS Whether your municipality is a city, town or village and the population is 20 or 1 million, Florida's municipal governments srrive each day to deliver rheir services in an effective manner. The Home Rule Powers Act, passed in 1973, provides rhat municipalities in Florida have rhe authoriry to govern rhemselves locally, independent of srare COntrol. Preserving Home Rule, educaring citizens on this valuable authority, and maintaining a focus on rhose issues rhat affecr self governance, service delivery and the qualiry of life of each municipaliry are essential goals of the Florida League of Ciries. The foundarion of the League's legislative activities is rooted in the belief that "All Politics is Local"; recognizing that the best strategy for sustained legislative success is one that engages local participation on a continuous basis. This "year 'round" advocacy concept is a fundamental component to proactively advancing the issues of municipalities to state and federal policymakers. Advocacy Tips It is essential that in order to be effecrive with the members of the state legislature, good relarionships musr be built and maintained with your House and Senate members. Stay Informed on the Issues - The House and Senate convene for the regular legislative session every year. Session officially begins in early March and is scheduled ro last 60 days, usually through the first week of May. During this rime, the Legislature is making important decisions on legislation that may have a direct impact on your city. You can't lobby what you don't know! Stay abreast of the issues through the local media, and the Florida League of Cities. Use the League - Remember that League staff will be informed of the critical issues and can assist you in your advocacy efforrs. They can also assist in tailoring the information to explain what an issue means to your hometown. Read the League's Publications - The League's Legislative Bulletin is published every week during the Legislative Session with timely information on key municipal issues that are being considered by the Legislature. Other annual legislative publications include the League's Legislative Policy Statement, Legislative Action Agenda, and the Legislative Final Report. Sign up for Home Rule Watch - Legislative information can also be accessed online through the League's Home Rule Watch. This service is designed specifically for League members to download bills, issue briefs, and information on your legislator(s), House and Senate calendars and much more. Get Personally Acquainted with your Legislators - Make it your business to become personally acquainted with your senator and representative. Take a sincere interest in them and get to know their political philosophies. If you contact your legislators only when you want their support on a legislative matter, it might be too late. Communicate through your legislator's local office and don't wait until session begins to initiate this dialogue. Invite your Legislators to Special Events - Invite your legislator(s) and staff to local and regional league meetings as a guest or speaker. Also invite them to town festivals or other ciry events as a guest or participant. This will give them an opportuniry to know you and your citizens. Get to Know Your Legislator's Staff - Ir is also helpful to know your legislator's staff. Frequently, you may need to call the legislator to communicate your position on a particular issue. If you are unable to talk directly with your (Cominued on back) legislator, a call to rhe legislator's aide or orher sraff, whom you know and who knows you, is the nexr best thing. Get on your Delegations Mailing List - Then you will receive newsletters and other communique from your legislators office. Express Yourself - Surprisingly few people ever contact their legislators. This reluctance usually results from the belief that legislators have no time or inclination to answer their phones or read their mail, and that one single contact won't make any difference anyway. In most cases, these views are wrong. Thoughtful, factual persuasive contacts can change legislator's minds and cause them to review their positions. Be sure to have accurate facts and good arguments about any issues you discuss wirh your legislators. Make sure you understand the particular bill in question. Write Letters Carefully and Thoughtfully - Each letter you write should cover one bill and should reference the bill number in a separate line at the top of the page. Present your opinion logically and base it on facts. Emotional appeals do not influence votes. The importance of personally contacting a legislator on time cannot be overemphasized. The eloquent letter does no good if it arrives after a vote. You may also e-mail a letter or brief note to your legislator to get your position across in a short time frame. Use me Local Media - Schedule meetings with the editorial board members or staff of your local newspaper to discuss legislative issues and positions. Schedule sessions on local television and radio shows to discuss the legislative issues and the impact to your city. Invite your legislators to participate in this event. Recognize Legislator's Problems - Your legislator represents all of the constituents in your area -liberal and conservative, business and labor. Their duty is to reptesent all of the people to me best of their ability. There may be times when you think your legislators are on the wrong track, but they may have facts that are not available to you. Never threaten political or other consequences if the senator or representative refuses to see an issue your way. Remember that you can disagree without being disagreeable. Say Thanks - Remember to thank legislators regularly and publicly for their time, work, support and votes. Never discount the importance of a thank you; it can really make a difference. Attend Legislative Action Day - The League's Legislative Action Day is held each year in Tallahassee during the legislative session, generally in early April. This is an opportunity for municipal officials to visit with their legislators on key municipal issues that are being considered by the Legislature. Invite your Legislator(sl to League functions - While legislators receive a written invitation to League activities, the personal touch is always nice. Call your legislators and invite them personally to the Legislative Action Day bteakfast and the Legislative Conference in November. Florida League of Cities, Inc. . P.O. Box 1757 .
