Hey <strong>2020</strong>!<br />
We are ready!!!<br />
Usually I hear people say, “this is the year that I…,”<br />
or “this year my resolution is…,” but what I’ve been<br />
hearing lately from my friends and colleagues is more<br />
of a commitment to a decade versus a year. More<br />
people seem to be making long term goals – and it<br />
makes me wonder if it’s because this year ends in an<br />
even round number…Me, well, I don’t believe in resolutions (too easy<br />
to break), so I try to set goals for the year and see how that goes.<br />
This year Super Bowl LIV is hosted in Miami which is exciting!<br />
Along with the big game come big pre-game parties and events! Our<br />
City By The Sea is not to be left out! The 7th annual Delray Beach<br />
Fashion Week is <strong>January</strong> 29th through February 2nd and there are<br />
many events throughout the day and evening to keep you going –<br />
including a Super Bowl watch party! For more information read<br />
Delray Under $50 (some of the events are FREE!) and Locals Only.<br />
Reggie Dobard Sr. is our <strong>January</strong> City Person. Diane Feen calls him a<br />
‘Treasure’ and she couldn’t be more right…He was a teacher at <strong>Atlantic</strong><br />
High School for 37 years, but even more importantly<br />
he has been caring for our community for over<br />
55 years!!! So much so that in 2017 we named<br />
the gym basketball court at Pompey Park after<br />
him. He is a mentor to everyone he meets. Read<br />
Reggie’s story, you’ll be glad you did – and you<br />
probably will want to meet him.<br />
Will you adopt a pet this year? Travel<br />
somewhere exotic? Or maybe try one of our<br />
recipes? Let us know! Send us an email at<br />
info@atlanticavemagazine, include a photo<br />
and a caption and you may find yourself in our<br />
next issue! We love to hear from our readers!<br />
Let yourself be<br />
drawn by the<br />
stronger pull of<br />
that which you<br />
truly love. It will<br />
not lead you<br />
astray.<br />
