“We wanted to provide this service to our Boca Pointe Community as we are all in this

situation together, and our entire Board and Management wanted to share this ability with
all of the Boca Pointe family once we were able to be properly prepared.” said Nelles.
Both Helen and Kathleen have been in constant contact to make sure that residents
receive guideline instructions and updated menu emails along with working out the
logistics of resident access from all quadrants of Boca Pointe to the Club valet pickup.
Our Club members have been overwhelming in their support of this program and
welcome this arrangement. We are also fortunate that many of our Club staff have agreed
to be available to provide this valuable service to all of us. Hopefully this situation will
not be with us too much longer but the Club is here not only for our members but in this
instance for our Boca Pointe community as well.
Our wish is for safety, well-being and health for all of us. 
