On our cover this month are twins Aiden and Owen Finocchietti of Wellington, who left in May on a 50-state tennis tour. They are traveling in an RV with their grandfather, serving as tennis ambassadors and playing in tournaments in every state over the next year. Read about them in this month’s issue.
July is our annual health-themed issue, and in this edition, you can learn more about the award-winning care provided by the Advanced Breast Center at Wellington Regional Medical Center, as well as how the Wellington-based NRI Institute of Health Sciences is helping educate the nurses of tomorrow. If you are considering a healthcare career, look no further than the Family Care Training Center, also featured this month, which offers courses to prepare you for entry-level positions in the healthcare industry.
Our Wellington Family series continues with a profile of Chuck and Linda Grove, founders of Horizon Pool & Patio, and their extended family, who have been keeping Wellington-area pools in perfect shape for 40 years. In Wellington Today, Village Manager Jim Barnes urges all residents to stay vigilant when it comes to preparing for a hurricane. Finally, Wellington Table visits SoBol, which recently moved to a new location in the Wellington Marketplace. If you’re looking for a treat that is both tasty and healthy, check out one of the bowls or smoothies from SoBol.
Elsewhere this month, we have an update on some summer improvements at the Wellington International showgrounds, as well as social photography from Flavors 2025, Wellington’s Memorial Day observance and more.
