Ronit at the Brio restaurant in Palm Beach Gardens on January 5, 2010.
I have always been a person that cared about other people and did my best to assist them, before I came
to the United States and since then.
I am a dedicated and responsible person and will do my very best to continue to work for the betterment of
the residents of Century Village.
Not a day goes by that I do not receive at least five “Thank Yous” from residents that I have helped in various
ways. My “shoe box” overflows with letters of appreciation and my voice mail is full with messages of gratitude.
In the next issue of the UCO Reporter, I will list all that I have accomplished for the residents of Century
Village over the last 12 years.
I ask for your support in voting for me to be the next UCO President. Thank you.
