Featured on our cover this issue are Nikki Stinson and Maria Fernanda Cruz, president-elect and president, respectively, of the Rotary Club of Wellington. The club is the focus of our Wellington Philanthropy feature this month, which details how local Rotarians have put “service above self” for the past 45 years, supporting the Wellington community.

Also this month, we profile Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Nichole Addazio, the law enforcement official in charge of the PBSO’s District 8 in Wellington. Once a teenager growing up in Wellington, Addazio was recently awarded a Community Impact Award from the Women’s Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County. Next, we visit with the Wellington Picklettes, a group of pickleball enthusiasts who have added a fun social dimension to their favorite sporting activity.

In the equestrian arena this issue, we visit with the master bootmakers at LM Boots, who have developed a new boot-fitting technology — the world’s first digital laser scanner of the foot and leg. We also profile Canadian rider Sofia Popescu, who has moved to Wellington to continue her training with dreams of Olympic glory in the future.

As part of our series profiling regional cultural institutions, we explore the current exhibitions on display at the Norton Museum of Art. Finally, Wellington Table visits Kura Revolving Sushi Bar, now open in Lotis Wellington. If you love sushi and crave unique experiences, this is the place for you.

As the school year draws to a close, all of us at Wellington The Magazine wish to congratulate the Class of 2026. We are excited to see where the future takes you. And when you get there, don’t forget all of your friends here in Wellington.
