A heartfelt “Welcome back!” to one of BTP’s historically prolific contributors, Andy Weiner! He first put pen to paper writing a BTP column called The Mind Game in February, 2012. He faithfully wrote many, many articles providing valuable insights into cerebral, emotional, and sports psychology topics until October, 2019. Happily, he’s decided to come out of “retirement,” and, once again, share his insights. See his article How Using Emotional Intelligence Can Improve Your Performance in Sports on page 13.

Volunteerism seems to be at the heart of Heritage Palms. Many thanks to the members who have spent endless hours this past year serving on our HP Committees. They were honored at a Volunteer Recognition event on February 25. Please see photos starting on page 8. Other members are Mentors (see Boys2Men 5th Graders Visit Six Mile Cypress Fire Station on page 18. Others help raise money for local non-profits. The HPTA and HPPA joined forces to raise $7,615 for the Ray V. Pottorf Elementary School to purchase a fan for their PE pavilion. In addition, the LNHGA raised another $9,000 for the Ray V. Pottorf Elementary School; the MGA raised $5,700 for the Harry Chapin Food Bank; and WGA volunteers worked hard to create a successful Charity Event on March 26. The proceeds from that event were given to the Dubin Center of Ft. Myers. All members are to be commended for their contributions!

It bears repeating: please know there’s an option for you to download this issue (or any prior issue) of BTP as a PDF (Adobe) for viewing, rather than using a web browser. Simply click the downward arrow icon (#3 at right) to download the magazine as a PDF on your laptop, iPad, or cell phone. The PDF version shows one page at a time (vs the two pages you see side by side “on line”). Plus, if you download the issue, you can print any page you like, and also store any current or prior issue on your laptop. It’s easy-peasy!
