West Boca Chamber Urges Road
Name Change for Winikoff
Press Release
At the suggestion of Loggers Run President and West
Boca Chamber member Frank Barbieri, the board of
directors of the West Boca Chamber of Commerce is
urging the County Commission to rename Oriole
Country Road in West Boca Jeff Winikoff Boulevard in
honor of the jurist who passed away this week. Known
as the unofficial Mayor of West Boca, Winikoff
served as president of the West Boca Community
Council for many years.
There is no other tribute fitting this outstanding
community leader than to have a well-known and
traveled street named after Jeff, said West Boca
Chamber chair Tom Kruse. Oriole Country Road runs
from 441 to Glades Road, with little or no
businesses or residents to be affected by the name
change.
The Chamber will send a letter to the County
Commission urging the designation be made along with
other community organizations expected to sign on to
the proposal.
The West Boca Chamber of Commerce is
the fastest growing Chamber in the area with 165
members in the first 11 months of its existence. The
board also approved raising the minimum membership
to $180 annually, effective July 1. In addition, the
board welcomed Armand Guynup, vice president and
General Manager of Al Hendrickson Toyota to the
board, along with Jason Toland, manager of Lowes
Building Supplies and Bob Geller, Met Life. In other
business, the board approved the creation of a political action committee to be able
to endorse candidates and elected Wendy Rosano,
owner of Cucina Mio and Kathryn Van Brocklin,
manager of Mercantile Bank, as Vice Chairs of the
Chamber. Guynup also volunteered to chair a Chamber
golf tournament to raise funds for the PAC.
