Dr Marrotte, left, and Jon Saluk

The 2011 Toys in the Sun Run was a huge success as usual despite the
weather. Over $325,000 was collected for the Joe Dimaggio Children's
Hospital and nearly 40,000 toys were also collected. 

John Saluk and Dr. Rick Marrotte, two members of the Boca Business Exchange
Chapter of BNI, rode in the event and delivered over a dozen toys on behalf of the
Chapter.

The ride began a little late from the staging area at the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallendale
Beach, FL.  Just as the ride began, around 10am, a nasty rain storm hit the area with
 driving rain and gusty winds.  Many riders who were not prepared for the weather,
dropped out of the ride before it really got started. "We had boots full of water and soaked
clothes, but it was for a great cause.", said Dr. Marrotte.

The ride terminated, as in years past,  at Markham Park in Weston where there was music, food, an antique motorcycle show and many vendors.   "Many thanks to those who donated unwrapped toys from our Chapter," said Jon Saluk.

Gary Broidis' Second Retail Bus Tour a Success

  The Retail Bus Tour, Inc. (www.retailbustour.com), a new marketing and networking event specifically designed for the shopping center industry made its’ way throughout Miami-Dade County last Thursday with over 150 real estate and retail professionals on three chartered buses.  With the assistance of three Dade County police escorts, the Tour covered over 35 major shopping centers while making stops throughout the day at Main Street in Miami Lakes, The Shops at Midtown Miami and Miracle Marketplace in Coral Gables.

During this full-day event, property owners, brokers and retail tenants learned about the market, properties, vacancies, expanding retailers and networked with each other all day.  According to BNI member Gary Broidis and Larry Brooks, Founders of the Retail Bus Tour, there were people in attendance from as far as Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.  While the moderators on each bus provided detailed information on each property featured on the Tour, the property owners and/or representatives also provided further details about future plans for the properties along with incentives being offered to the brokerage and retail community. 

According to Aaron Fox, Director of Real Estate for Southeast Florida for Subway who was in attendance and also attended the first Retail Bus Tour in Broward County last October, “we had discussions that led to store openings in Broward and Palm Beach counties” and added “it’s great to network and would take months to get all this information.”

Registration for the next Tour scheduled for July 28 and covering Palm Beach County has started and can be completed at: www.retailbustour.com.  Additional Bus Tours have been scheduled for other markets in Florida and a nationwide rollout is in the works, per Gary Broidis, who is also the Founder of Atlantic Commercial Group, based in Boca Raton, FL.
