The members of the Hollywood Women’s Club are finding inspiration in their pioneer counterparts in their quest to preserve an important piece of their history.
The small wood-frame clubhouse that has been the club’s home since 1927 is in dire need of repair. Members, who have raised funds for numerous causes since the club was established in 1922, are now reaching out to the community for help in raising at least $250,000 to save their historic building.
It may sound like a daunting task, but the group’s 115 members, who range in age from their early 20s to their 90s, are motivated by the powerful example of their female forebears.
President Shelly deMarco said club founders, typical 1920s ladies who were “not particularly liberated back then,” managed to raise $5,000 for their permanent home, which was built on land donated by city founder Joseph W. Young at 501 N. 14th Ave.
“I call it the spirit of sisters past,” said deMarco. “If we can be as strong as they were back then, we can’t lose.”
Original plans for the modest clubhouse had called for an elaborate Mediterranean-style building but were scaled back dramatically in the aftermath of the 1926 Hurricane that “almost blew Hollywood off the map,” deMarco said.
Club members
settled for a charming,
1,700-square-foot Classical Revival-style structure built from Dade County pine that served them well for eight decades, until it met its match in Hurricane Wilma in October 2005. The front wall of the clubhouse was pushed out of alignment and workers making repairs discovered that the building’s foundation is deteriorating.
Members are hoping to be able to restore their clubhouse, which was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in February 1995. DeMarco said the decision over whether to rebuild or repair, which is pending the results of an engineering study, would not be an easy one.
If the building has to be replaced, “We would lose our historic designation, our history and, of course, our beloved clubhouse,” deMarco said. “To not have our clubhouse would be a catastrophe. We’re going to do everything we can not to let that happen.”
And so, like their pioneer sisters
before them, members of the Hollywood Women’s Club are rolling up their sleeves and taking action. Fundraisers have been planned and the community is being urged to
help out a philanthropic organization that has given so much to others in the past 86 years.
The Hollywood Women’s Club, which helped establish Hollywood’s first public library, are active volunteers and have raised money through club activities for numerous charities that include Kids in Distress, Women in Distress, Broward Outreach Shelter, the Salvation Army, the Born to Read Program and Canine Companions. The group also partners with Hollywood Central Elementary School, funds college scholarships for teen-age cancer survivors and contributes, through the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC), to Heifer International, a nonprofit organization that provides livestock, plants and agriculture education to financially disadvantaged families around the globe.
“The history of this club is always that these women will give and give, and they never ask for anything in return,” deMarco said.
She said individual members will continue to contribute to the group’s charities, but the club’s immediate focus will be the restoration project. The next fundraiser, the 1920s-theme “High Heels & High Tea,” will feature teas of the world, petit fours, raffle prizes and ladies in hats and gloves from 2 to 5 p.m. Sun., Sept. 21 at a member’s home. The cost is $25.
The club also will host its second annual bazaar and barbecue Nov. 15. The event, which attracted about 600 people last year, will feature an assortment of new, vintage and antique items.
In addition, SunTrust Bank currently is contributing $100 to the restoration cause for every new checking account opened with a minimum of $25, and the Hollywood Rotary Club has offered the use of its facility for meetings during the clubhouse repairs.
“The more the word gets out that
we need help, the more people are coming forward and saying, ‘How can I help you?’” deMarco said.
The Hollywood Women’s Club meets at 7 p.m. the second Wednesday of the month and also at 10:30 a.m. the first Thursday to accommodate members who prefer daytime meetings. Membership is open to all women, although the majority live in Hollywood. The annual membership fee is $40.

Best Photography: Lloyd Goradesky Photography
If there’s one thing Floridians need (besides good air conditioning), it’s a car that runs. So when a talented mechanic can keep both your car and it’s A/C in good shape at a reasonable price, the business deserves a medal. In this case, that business is Frank Weiss’ Preferred Automotive. By earning glowing reviews
from customers like Jim Williams who says, “I trust them with my momma’s life!” to Cathy Sena-tore who claims they are “the most honest shop around,” it sounds like Preferred Automotive will find out what’s wrong,
tell it like it is, and make it bet-ter than it was. With honesty,
integrity and ser-vice like that, there’s little doubt that Preferred Automotive will keep it’s preferred status with Hollywood customers a long time to come.Preferred Automotive; 954-989-8060

Affectionately known as “Lloyd” by his fans and
followers, this MBA- lawyer-jewelry maker turned photographer can be spotted regularly around town. Although he began his artistic career by photo-graphing high-end parties, weddings, magazines, and family portraits, Goradesky received acclaim for his capture of wild animal life-- both four and two-legged in sometimes uncompro-mising positions.
One cannot help but be moved when experiencing the sight of how close Go-radesky comes to the open mouth of a gator, or the eyes of a tiger. The beauti-
ful blues and greens in his peacock images almost appear to have a painterly quality at first gleam. This series of photographs will surely to provoke smiles as well as a gamut of emo-tions. Adults and children alike appreciate these most captivating pictures.
Gazette reviewers praise Goradesky for bringing portraits to life, but ironically his still-life photos from “Lloydscapes” to architectural and aerial shots to trees may be what earns this local photogra-pher his next awards.

At Café in Bloom, you get two for the price of one -- fresh flow-
ers and fresh gift ideas and products under one roof. Fresh and silk arranged and/or loose flower choices abound from everyday to exotics (Hydran-geas, Calla Lilly’s, Birds of Paradise, etc.). Café in Bloom also sprays their uniquely-scently “floral water” on all flowers thrilling customers to no end. This exclusive product spawned when sister owners Denise Keltz and Michelle Platt realized many flowers do not have a scent, although the first thing people do with flow-ers is smell them! A little dab of floral water and life is sweet. But if flowers can’t heal your
woes, sister-owners say their custom blends of ‘Scent-Sational’ essential oils are the remedy. Personally mixing a “medicinal” compound of undiluted essential oils from their blending bar, Keltz takes her job to heart. Regardless of why you visit, this place is a “must see” according to customer Victor Greene. So stop by, enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee, bask in the peacefulness of their interior garden, admire the blooms, and be glad you don’t have to drive too far to find such a beautiful shop.

Hungarian-born world traveler-college business graduate -professional photographer
turned dog walker and sitter Monika Stefaniak collected stray pets as a child, making sure they were safe and fed. So, when she married and moved to South Florida, and started her pet services, it was a natural fit. Over the past three years, her business boomed from one lone pet walker on bicycle to include four full-time pet sitters on wheels, as well as 17 branch locations from Ken-dall to Jupiter. Accredited by PSI, and certified by NAPP, all sitters are trained in animal first-aid and CPR. Stefaniak was the founder and backbone behind establishing a dog beach in Hollywood, (Dog Beach of Hollywood), and her success is a testament to her drive and determination. Offering everything
from dog sitting to run-ning to sleepovers, pet taxi and boarding, this is a business that’s here to stay. Readers seem to agree, “No bones about it -- in our city of Hol-lywood, dogs have clearly found man’s best friend.”Dogs Go Walking Pet Sitting; 954-260-4304

Best Financial Services: First Southeast Mortgage Corporation
For the past eight years, US photographer Tom Olsen and Venezuelan
photographer Leo Reinfeld have been practically fixtures in downtown Hollywood, known for their excellence in shooting and correcting pictures. These guys are so modest and unassuming but ready, willing and able to take on and perfect any assign-ment that comes their way, it’s nice to see them win the creative category. From creat-ing beautifully stylized black and white photos to catalogue promotions, fashion, special occassion and fashion shoots, to graphic design, digital retouching and enhancements, this duo aims to please. Judging from the contest reader reviews, they do just that.

Practically a fixture in Hollywood, Scott Roberts
opened First Southeast Mortgage Corp in 1985. Well-known in the finance world for his accountabil-ity, Art Vandolay boasts of the cites “excellent service, competitive interest rate pricing, and low closing costs,” on the asset column of First Southeast. Roberts is equally re-puted for his community service. Active in the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Kiwanis, Leadership Hollywood, Leadership Broward, Broward Outreach
Homeless Center and more, Roberts puts his money, time and effort back into the community where he earned it. In fact, it’s rare that one attends a local charitable or community event and does not see Roberts there. Proud to receive the ‘Best Of’ in this category, Roberts offers a free con-
sultation for mortgage loan financing options, and he still encourages investments in this city for which he has worked so diligently.First Southeast Mortgage Corporation;954-920-9799
Hollywood Gazette is join-ing Hollywood photographer Tom Olsen and local author Linda Eve Diamond to docu-ment and honor the rich history of Hollywood’s centenarians in a project called the ‘HOLLYWOOD FLORIDA FAMILY ALBUM: the first 1000 years.’
“Our principal goal is to com-pile a living historical record for the benefit of Hollywood’s youth. With this knowledge at hand we believe there is hope that an
important starting point in bridg-ing the span of time and under-standing between these diverse generations can be achieved and in so doing awaken an understanding of the common bonds that join us all,” explains Olsen.
If you, or someone you know is 100 years of age or older, has a story to share with the com-munity and would be interested in participating, please call Tom Olsen at 954-927-1924.

Best Veterinarian: Animal Medical Center
Tucked away in an obscure location on US 1, this cozy, friendly full ser-vice vet practice is a diamond in the
rough. Sweet, down to earth and gentle, Dr. Robert Schachner DVM is one of the few vets in South Florida trained to treat ‘exotics’ (birds, rabbits, rats, mice, skunks, etc.). His loving attention seems to calm even the most anxious of pets (and own-ers); with his practice feeling more like a family practice clinic than a pet office, and dogs and cats are regular daily visitors for
care or a smile. From diagnosing to treat-ing, and even mixing his own remedies, grooming, and boarding (small space), Schachner caters to long-term clientele but is always open to a pet in need. Just one step into the quaint office and you’ll know you’ve found a place your pet can call home.

Best Legal Services: Law Offices of Militzok & Levy, P.A.
If ‘legal’ and ‘services’ seem like contradictory terms to you, the full- service boutique law firm of Militzok
and Levy might convince you to think otherwise. Specializing in litigation and evictions, as well as real estate deposit recovery, the thirty-something Northeast-erners-turned-Hollywoodians say they’re candid and try to do whatever it takes for their clients. “We’re really honest, we work very hard for our clients and we’re committed to this community. We’re for the common man,” said attorney Matthew Militzok. What’s more, he said, they’ll even usually provide a complimentary ini-tial consultation unless it’s “complicated”
and paperwork heavy. With bankruptcies, gas prices, and inflation up and incomes and house prices down, that means a lot. And, apparently others feel that way too. When a laundry list of reviewers writing such glowing descriptions as “reliable and knowledgeable,” “honest and hard-working,” “purity and dedication,” “true warrior integrity” and “refuse to lose,” it restores your faith in not just attorneys, but mankind as well.

Best Place to Stay, Overall: Ocean InnMost Environmentally-Friendly Superior Small Lodging: DeSoto Oceanview Inn
Honorable Mention: The Waves
Best AAA Diamond Rated: Quality Inn
Every once in a while, you run across a place or a person that sounds almost too good
to be true--such is the case with Ocean Inn. This award-winning immaculate family-run gem is only 120 feet from the ocean, and recipient of the Superior Small Lodging’s Award of Excel-lence, as well as two years running for “White Glove Award” (thanks to longstand-ing housekeeper Pilar). This 24/7 managed (hospitality mavens Cline and Larry) quaint respite offers complimentary coffee and freshly-baked homemade muffins, as well as small guest gatherings. ‘Mom and Pop’ to-the-max, owner Scott Rivelli’s mom, Shirley was the original on-premises manager and continues to help out, while Rivelli’s nephew Joe “can often be found behind the front desk, making muffins, flipping burgers on the BBQ or enjoying a glass of wine or a beer with our guests,” adds Rivelli. Furthermore, when Hurricane Katrina hit, Ocean Inn posted a gratis
web invitation that filled his inn with Katrina evacuees. And, with Ocean

Add a historic site for a bathing beauty shoot, individually decorated rooms, and a favorite spot of former Mayor Giulianti, and it’s a hard sell to think of going anywhere else.

This most-reviewed beach superior small lodging is about as green as you can
get-- from lush green-ery to green options. Meeting all Green Hotel Association standards as well as those of Florida Green Associations, this 100% non-smoking inn uses 100% cotton towels and sheets, and is in the process of replacing the linen with bamboo. Solar panels were lost in Hurricane Wilma, but that’s next on the list. All 15 units (one bedroom, studios, etc) are energy efficient. DeSoto’s goal is to be wholly sustainable inn and continue to reduce their carbon footprint. Footsteps from the beach, guests have WiFi, free bicycles, daily coffee, and breakfast on weekends, as well as monthly get togethers, occa-sional dinners, lunches, homemade foods,
programs, and cooking classes. Beauti-fied by Polynesian gazebos, lush green-ery, the glowing reviews reaffirm why
90% of their clientele are returning guests. If you’re still not convinced, Just listen to Anthony De Angelo who said DeSoto is “so clean you can
eat off the floor” or former guest Larry Gierer who boasts DeSoto is “the best kept secret in Hollywood! Whenever I want to get away from a hectic day or work week I hop into my car and within minutes I am transported into a place of peace and serenity. Pack up all your cares and woes and head to the Desoto.” With the long list of compliments and repeat customers, DeSoto is likely to remain in the green for a very long time.

Rarely does a business jump into a contest with such enthusiasm and this northern-most Hol-
lywood Beach apartment and resort earned kudos for both their effort and praise. Ideal for families or long-term stays, this pet-friendly property is lo-cated close to Publix, Winn Dixie, CVS and Walgreens. Steps from the beach, The Waves offers barbeque areas and accommodations ranging from two twin or queen bed rooms, to fully-loaded one and two bedroom apartments that
provide complete kitchens including a stove, refrigerator, microwave, cable TV, and the works. Receiving high marks for their hospitality and what they provide, if the Waves puts as much effort into their business as their ‘Best of Hollywood’ contest excitement, they’re sure to be winners for many contests to come.

When a business is as active in the community, it’s nice to see them win an award. A frequent
participant in city events, motel’s Triangle Management Vice President Izzy Fintz, said “I’m very pleased we were chosen and we look forward to be-ing a successful, active part in our community.” Since about 40% of their guests include locals who live or work nearby, when in the process of home remodel-ing, moving, or escorting out of town guests, the re-lationship between Holly-wood and Quality Inn is a two-way street. Since buy-ing the property in 2002, the owners have not only fostered a warm relationship with the Chamber (2006 winner of Project Pride of the Year), they generously donate to local charities and fundraisers. Residing close to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Memorial Hospital and near the turnpike that funnels into Dolphin stadium has helped this small property seem like a big one. Of course,
it certainly helped to renovate to the tune of $350,000 and upgrading the entire interior, putting in an Olympic size heated pool, Serta Sleeper Pillow top mattresses, eight Jacuzzi suites with 42” plasma TV’s, quiet electronic A/C’s, ceiling fans, and
all rooms with full ameni-ties including microwave, refrigerator, and free inter-net…well, you get the idea. There’s even a “wish-ing well” on
the lush green land that is said to honor those wishes and prayers of those who
drop a coin. In this case, you don’t need to be careful what you wish for, if it’s a rea-sonably priced top-notch AAA Diamond Superior Small Lodging with easy access to the best of South Florida.

This color-ful Thai eatery
quickly warmed the hearts and stomachs of Asian cuisine-seeking locals shortly after opening down-town. Offering hefty portions of lovingly layered spice (5 levels of “hot”), Thai and Japanese fare, a fresh sushi bar and a relaxing but friendly atmosphere, Red Thai & Sushi appears to be here to
stay. Featuring lunch specials ($7.50), fresh fish daily, Duck basil, steamed fish, and the ever popular Hurricane roll ($15), owner and operator “Yaya” is
jubilant about the restaurant’s success. So warm, friendly
and genuine, the constant flow of visitors look happy that Red Thai room seems to be running in the green,
and not red. If you don’t believe that, just look at the
diners’ reviews or visit to see for yourself.

Best Mediterranean Cuisine: Falafel Fusion
Relative newcomer Falafel Fusion is one of those restaurants that
seem to have filled a void no one knew the city had. Located midpoint between east and west Hollywood, this seasoned falafel shop quickly learned how to reel in the customers. The reason is almost certainly because owner Robert Borday has spent a lifetime perfect-ing and cooking falafels. After working in the fam-ily business—falafels—Borday catered to falafel enthusiasts in Rhode Island before immigrating to Holly-wood where he quickly developed a following. But falafels aren’t the only fare drawing the lunchtime crowd in. Of-fering modestly-priced healthy homemade
Mediterranean specialties like hum-mus, Baba Ganoush, chicken and
beef wraps and gyros, and a juice bar; it’s easy to see why this specialty eatery scored the gold.

When a guy from Chicago and a guy from New York open up a pizza shop, it’s sure
to be a success. That’s what happened in the case of Jo-Jo’s (actually Joe Rambow and Josh Steinman.) Open for more than five years in an obscure Sheridan Street location, this small, unassuming joint scored the gold. Con-sidering this three-table eatery is pretty much a take-out only situation, their first place win is quite a feat. Offering thin and apparently exemplary New York-style pie versions-- especially the meatball, ham, bacon, sausage and pepperoni inclusive Phat pizza ($15)
and the much-sought-after white pizza ($12, ricotta, mozzarella, garlic and olive oil), sub sandwiches and Chicago ‘dogs’ do the trick. Phones ring off the hook and pies stream steadily out the door while music enthusiasts spontaneously jam on the guitar in the dining area.
Frequent customer Walter says it best, “You want good pizza? Go to New York. You wanna good dog... go to Chicago. You want both? Go to Jo-Jo’s,”

If ever the phrase, “A good time was had by all” held true, it’s at Walsh’s Pub. Open only three years after
owners Teri and Dave Walsh moved on from their previous spot, Dry Dock, circa 25 years managing McGowan’s, their clientele follows suit. An old-fashioned Irish pub where, “old souls drink together for 30 years,” said Teri Walsh, this peanuts-and-booze only sports headquarters (8 TV’s) shows what bar camaraderie is all about. Offering
warmth, hospital-ity and of course, “ice cold beer,” new customers become regulars quickly. Just ask Frank and Jill who chanced by on a stop from Ft Lauderdale airport, “This place was great! We met about 6 people that we will stop in and see during our return layover in two weeks.”

Located in the former Primanotte downtown Harrison Street locale near Dixie Highway train tracks,
the trendy eatery is managered by Heath-er Keenly who hails from New York - where they take food very seriously.
Aside from the honorable mention awarded this upscale establishment, we found the Salmon Tartar ($10) to be a winner. Hand-cut Chilean salmon brought to life with lemon vinaigrette, red topiko caviar, black sesame seeds, jalapeno chile oil, and complimented by cassava crackers, this dish is a delight-ful substitute a less pricey version of tuna tartar.

Best Italian Cuisine: Napoli’s
Since 1980, Paul and Sara Napoli have shared their passion
for food with the city of Hollywood, and the sur-rounding area. Together, they built an Italian restaurant to embrace their clientele as family coming over to eat supper. The ambi-ance and décor reminds you of being in a rustic Sicilian home.
The time has come for them to retire and enjoy the fruits of their labor. The twenty-eight year legacy continues with their grand-nephew Donato.
Among some of the traditional menu items available, like spaghetti car-bonara with pancetta. Chef Donato pre-pares ravioli from scratch; stuffed with sea scallops and topped with a mouth-watering roasted red pepper cream sauce. For dessert, try Chef Donator’s
“Italian style,” chocolate espresso cheesecake (again-hand made). Another favorite creation is the ‘Almond Joy cannoli’ with a hand-made chocolate pastry
shell and chocolate, almond, and coconut filling. The “soup du jour,” changes on a
weekly basis in order to enjoy the won-derful varieties of soup that enhance any dining experience.
The Napoli family wishes to express their most humble gratitude to all who have shared their lives with them. It has been an honor, and a pleasure. Occasion-ally you will see Paul and Sara visiting. They are confident that Chef Donato will uphold the family tradition of serving the finest foods he can prepare for you to enjoy.

Best Mexican Cuisine: Mamacita’s
Everyone knows it’s hard to find good Mexican food in South Florida, period. But finding
a high-quality, reasonably-priced Mexican restaurant in Hollywood with authentic tasty Mexican cuisine is a goldmine. Just ask diner Carlos Molina who boasts, “just wait when Mamacitas get bigger, bye bye South Beach. And hello Mamacitas!”
Mamacita’s owner, Marlon Gomez brings us ‘South of the Border’ by way of Texas and a lifetime in Chicago before migrating to Hollywood four years ago to try his luck in a warmer climate. Due to South Floridian tastes, most dishes fall under the category of
“Tex Mex” but Gomez also knows how to cook more traditional Mexican cuisine. Steak, shrimp, or chicken fajitas ($14- $17), and two-pound Red Snapper ($26), garner the most attention. However, Gomez said he’s considering bringing back the mole (chocolate) and other home dishes. Do us all a favor and request it. Full bar, weekday happy hours, music on week-end evenings and the funny statue that greets you make this place a favorite beach haunt.

Healthiest Eatery & Best Juice Bar: Oasix
For an eatery that’s hidden downtown to all but locals just inside the the Arts Academy of
Hollywood, it’s amazing that this health- conscious juice bar and eatery won two awards: Healthiest Eatery and Best Juice Bar. For a neophyte and obscure loca-tion, that’s a lot of initial wallop. Owner Crystal Clark began this quest trying to heal her ailing brother-in-law, and after she saw how her juices improved his quality of life, she became inspired. When you read the glowing testimonials,
“Cured my cold with the ‘flu buster’ (from Lindsey), or “ My [allergy ridden] daughter could drink ALL the smoothies sold at the juice bar, to “the most delicious smoothie and turkey wraps,” you start to understand the love and ingredients Clark infuses in her food and drink.
Mango Tango and Super-man smoothies ,black bean wrap, and Apple Mango Salad score the most customers but with only a 15 seat
eatery and booming deliveries to downtown
businesses, there’s a lot of energizing healthy fare to go around. With school back in session, Oasix Juice sounds like a good place to amp up for whatever lies ahead . Open 11 am – 6 pm. Closed Sundays.

Best Plastic Surgeon: Shuster Plastic Surgery Center
You’ve got to” hand” it to licensed occupational therapist and certified
hand therapist Diana Price for winning this category. Work-ing in her profession for over 16 years, Price purchased this practice two years ago and has been receiving shining reviews ever since. Specializing in accident cases, workers compensation, post surgery and all types of hand injuries of those aged 10 and up, Price utilizes the full of procedures from through evaluations to ultrasound, electric stimulation, wound care, early mobiliza-tion and more.

sional with a magnetic personality that is comforting beyond measure”.
Price doesn’t just work in Hollywood, she practically is Hollywood-- married to Hollywood Fire Dept Lieutenant Tom Price, her kids attend Nativity School, and her mom, Elaine Pardo works in the office. That’s a home-grown business that sounds like it’s here to stay.

This third-generation plastic surgeon comes loaded with credentials and reviews to
match. A Cornell Medical Graduate, Shuster did his medical internship and residency at Stanford Medical Center, before going on to a prestigious private practice on Park Avenue in Manhattan. This acclaimed surgeon said he moved to Hollywood six years ago because he was raised here, and wanted his chil-dren to experience the fine values and lifestyle Hollywood provides. Empha-sizing a natural look, “I never want my patients to look like they’ve had plastic surgery,” Shuster said he specializes in “anything that makes someone look good.” His practice focuses on aes-
thetic surgeries and he treats about a third of facial surgeries, a third of breast enhancements and a third of body contouring, but also provides mini lifts, BOTOX®, Restylane®, and lipo-suction. Initial consultations are com-plimentary and Shuster said he defers about 1/3 of those clients who may not really need plastic surgery at that time. The good doctor said he is thrilled to receive this honor and is grateful for his patients’ responses. “It really means a lot to me because this is what I consider to be my hometown,” he said.

Best Fitness Instruction: Synergize!
Winning for the third year in a row, Shondelle Solomon-Miles’ Synergize obviously
has what it takes to help greater Hol-lywood get in shape. Specializing in weight loss for women ages 35 – 55, this boutique studio combines nutri-tion education with exercise and “the right mind set”. But there’s nothing light about Solomon-Miles ‘approach. The no-nonsense style trainer said she thinks the reason they are so success-ful is because “we sincerely care about our clients results…” Holding clients “accountable”, her semi-private ap-proach provides an affordable option to traditional one on one training. When someone who goes by “The Gladiator” writes, “The Synergize! method works”, and “Katie” adds, “ I never would push myself the way Synergize does, and the proof is in the results - I’m in the best shape of my life!”, Synergize has to be
a possible option. And, since Synergize offers two free workout sessions with no obligation, it’s hard to find an excuse not to try.

They even keep Sunday morning hours and walk ins are encouraged. The physicians, Dr. Alan D. Mendelsohn and Dr. Shareen Green-
baum come with the highest honors and distinctions. Mendelsohn, A 22-year veteran, and Former President of Flor-ida Society of Ophthalmology among other leadership positions, was voted one of South Florida’s “Top Ophthal-mologists.” The younger Greenbaum focuses on ophthalmic plastics, Lasik and eyelid surgery as well as refractory surgery, cataract and intraocular lens implant surgery and general practice.

Catering to men and women, this shop has captured the hearts and skin of sleek skin seekers in Hollywood and beyond.

Hitting the nail on the head for the second year in a row, this mid Hollywood strip mall shop continues

but preferences run the gamut. And, providing special care, Alto le Mani uses individual, pre-
packaged sets of files and buffers on each client. This boutique shop is also one of only a few shops that only use an electric file when doing a back fill process of Pink and White acrylics. Competitively priced at $18 for Spa Manicure,
$35 for a Spa Pedicure, $45 for a full set of Pink & White Acrylics, and $35 for fills, you’ve got to

Best Charter School:Hollywood Academy of Arts & Science
Open since 2004, this tuition free public arts focused charter school
is loved by parents, faculty and students. Opening initially as a K through fifth grade institu-tion, this popular private school alternative increased its grade load each year, stopping at grade 8. Housed in a residential building, warm and fuzzy seems to be the norm while excel-lence, creativity, safety instill-ing confidence, exploration, and success are its mission. Heavily integrated with the local arts community, and located so close to the Arts Park, students have unique opportunities avail-able to them, and judging from the rave reviews, the system works. Offering such sophis-ticated clubs as Ambassadors, Anime, Book, Creative Writing, and Games around the world, Improv, Medieval, Photography
and Yearbook, and Science, it’s easy to see why everyone involved is so excited. Just as any charter school, parents are a frequent presence and can often be seen participating in festi-vals, events, and fundraisers. Perhaps the best way to explain HASA is with a comment by parent Traci Hart, “We have attended HAAS from the very first day it opened its doors in Hollywood. I drive past two very good schools to get to HAAS because it is worth it. We are thankful to have such a wonderful charter school in our neighborhood!”
Hollywood Academy of Arts & Science; 1720 Harrison St. A-1, Hollywood; 954-925-6404 This longstand-
ing institution was created in 1975 by
Hollywood’s Parks and Recs Dept, incorporated 1978 as a private, non-profit,. Moving in 1991 to its current home , former at Kagey mansion on Harrison Street, Art and Culture Center re-opeed in 1992. Since then, the pro-gressive educationally fo-cused facility has spawned diverse arts entertain-ment, visual art and dramatic shows, films, fundrais-ers and provided a steady flow of educational programs for both the public and online arts education. A favorite of county and city officials, and locals, the center treats locals ith free family arts days. Visitors are always eager to share their love for this non profit. The recent Art of The Brick Lego exhibit helped thrust the local arts center into national repute, and make Hollywood a destination spot. Just ask Jorge & Andy Rodriguez Hernandez, “The center with its amazing Lego based show from Nathan Sawaya-Art of The Brick made our Florida
vacation a blast.”“We’re delighted to be the winner in the
Arts Education category and take great pride in offering high quality arts education pro-gramming that follows the State’s Sunshine Standards,” added executive director Joy Saterlee.

Sometimes someone says something so well, it’s hard to
improve upon it. Such is the case with Karen Ammar’s remarks about this pillar of the community: “The Arts Academy of Hollywood is the place to be for kids and adults of all ages. Offer-ing classes in dance, theater, music, sewing and art. The hardest part is picking just one or two classes per session. Instructors and administra-tive staff are excellent; my children learn new things, make new friends and are in a caring, safe environment. I have enjoyed sewing and tap class-es, and noticed that many couples and singles enjoy dance classes in the evenings. If we ever try to sell our house, we will use its proximity to the AAOH as a big selling point. We
love it!” Ammar is not alone. All anyone has to do is pass by the large, filled facil-ity and look at the happy
faces of children and parents, bright colorful classrooms,
spacious ballet and dance rooms, art studios, retail dance accessories and juice bar, and it’s easy to see why this non-profit is the center of the city’s universe.
Luckily it’s a two way street. In the words of founder Linda Strutz, “The Arts Academy of Hollywood is committed to ‘cultivating creativity’ and developing the artist in every-one. We’re here for you seven days a week, thank you!”

When a public school draws families to a neighborhood, you
know it has to be good. Such is the case with this “A” rated elementary school that helped swell downtown swell with young families. In fact, the at-traction was so strong, numer-ous private schools cropped up to meet the competition, and cash in on the surplus. Serving about 650 children in grades kindergarten through fifth can’t be easy but this school seems to make it seem so simple. If you don’t believe the kudos, just see what parent Astrrid wrote about her kids school, “ Inviting, challenging, friendly,
artistic and forward thinking, this school makes me happy to get up in the morning and take my child to school! “ Awards must be in this year for Hol-lywood Central because they also met the Federal Standards of much aspired to status of Adequate Yearly Progress. For such a large and diverse student population, that’s a big deal. Offering a plethora of extras, students can partake in student council, safety patrol, and li-brary assistance. Ten times each academic year, students also participate in “Xcel” [ enrich-ment extracurricular experi-ences} in which they learn and develop skills such as calligra-
phy, sports, photography, and computers, Principal Frances Merenstein has been on board at the school in many capaci-ties for more than a decade and the enthusiastic and well loved administrator says she’s here to stay. The reason according to Merenstein? “Hollywood Central is the best place to be because we have the most car-ing community, staff, teach-ers, parents, students. We’re a family.”

Every month, Hollywood Gazette teams up with local charities and Dave & Buster’s to ‘Party with a Purpose.’ Free and open to the public, the events showcase a different local charity for the community to get involved with.
While networking with other like-minded people who come from all over the tri-county
area to be a part of the unique event, sponsored in part by the Broward County Chamber of Com-merce, selected charities are on hand to fund and friend-raise. Raffle tickets are sold for prizes donated
by local businesses such as D&B, Synergize! and At-lantic Sands Beach Resort.
Unlike most network-ing events, this fun-filled event is free and 100% of the proceeds raised from the raffle are donated to the charity of the month.
“As you know, it is always difficult to raise money for non-profits,” explains Erica Shea, co-president of the Hol-lywood Florida Scholar-ship Foundation after being the recipient of the raffle proceeds. “This was relatively painless for the participants [to donate].”
The next event is Wednesday, September 24 at Dave & Buster’s showcasing Family for Humanity, a local non-profit that provides free after school care and services for families and children in the Liberia and other local communities.
To RSVP, call 954-926-6662.
Hollywood-based comedy magician Avi Frier has been entertaining audiences all over the world since 1985. This is not your eight-
year-old’s birthday party magic--Avi’s show moves from rip-roaring-funny, to edge-of-your-seat-danger-ous, to you’ll-be-awake-all-night-trying-to-figure-out-how-he-did-that, and back again, in nothing flat.
Beginning in October, you’ll be able to see Avi the first Tuesday night of every month at the Holly-wood Improv (at the Seminole Paradise Live), hosting The Magic Spotlight, a new show featuring some of
Florida’s and the world’s top magicians. For information, visit www.magicspotlight.com Avi Frier - The Magical Comedy of Aviwww.avimagic.com - (888) 92-MAGIC
