Dear JABBERS:
Last week, Team JAB went to the Surf Club in Surfside for our

|
annual meeting. In addition to simply enjoying the beautiful view, we thought about all of the stories this place could tell. After all, this architectural gem has had quite an impressive guest list - the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Elizabeth Taylor and Winston Churchill, among others.  | |
The Surf Club's main hallway.
|
Although the irony of such a traditional setting for a discussion of all things digital did not escape us, we realized that in many ways, this was the perfect place for Team JAB to meet. After all, just like the venerable Surf Club has been for more than eight decades, JAB is an exclusive (but very friendly) community in which its members can connect.
This famous building will undergo renovations soon, which will restore some of its original façade and grand opulence, as well as surround it with hotel and condo towers. So, the next time you want to go back to the era of the "Magic City," swing by the Surf Club before its transformation.Team JAB

Ring in the New Year With a Ring My boyfriend and I are planning on getting engaged soon and I want to make the process as easy as possible for him. He is not from this country so the American custom of buying rings from a jeweler is unfamiliar to him. He would love to be able to buy just the diamond or the entire set (engagement ring and wedding band) from someone, rather than a store or dealer. If you are selling a ring, stone or set, I would love to hear from you! I really have no preference in style or cut. Thank you! |

Memory Keeper
From Angie Puentes-Leon: REPLY
JABBERS, I need your advice. I want to preserve my daughter's baptism gown and other family heirlooms, but I don't want to do it the way wedding gowns are saved.
