Last year’s Crystal Ball, the NOTABLES black tie gala, honored BlueCross BlueShield of Florida, and was held at the Miami Beach Resort & Spa. NOTABLES president Mickey Dworkin presented Cyrus M. Jollivette, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs of BlueCross BlueShield of Florida, with special recognition. He surprised guests by announcing a very generous gift to the NOTABLES that will endow a state-of-the-art Alzheimer’s program at Douglas Gardens.

The Honorable Norman Edelcup, Mayor of Sunny Isles Beach, served as Gala Chairman. Bella Goldstein, founder and chairman of the NOTABLES, co-hosted the evening with guest emcee Dr. Sean Keniff, Health Specialist WFOR-TV. The gala cocktail party was underwritten by Isabel May, and Martha Crown underwrote the gala dinner. The fabulous Tova Leidesdorf chaired the gala underwriting committee.
