The Boca Raton Republican Club is opening a “GOP Victory” office in the Boca Greens plaza, with the express purpose “to get Mitt Romney elected.”
Grand opening is scheduled for Friday, July 27th, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. The event includes music, food, door prizes, and “Meet the Candidates”. But we don’t think Mitt will be on hand. It will probably be other local GOP candidates.
If anyone hears of a Democratic event in West Boca, please send us details so we can spread the word for them too.

Area Members of Congress Show Hypocrisy
Two area members of Congress are in the news demonstrating hypocrisy and a lack of principle.
First, on the Democratic side of the aisle, Debbie Wasserman Schultz refuses to release any of her tax returns after criticizing Mitt Romney for not releasing more than two years of his own.
And on the GOP side, Allen West flip-flops on federal regulation of farms that produce eggs. If he was really a Tea Party guy he’d understand that this is not a federal issue. Instead he’s blowing in the wind of whatever district he represents and who’s giving him campaign contributions.
Not much from West Boca’s own Ted Deutch, but he did take part in the very important congressional resolution congratulating the Miami Heat. And one of his opponents criticized him for a website mistake.
July 19th: 5K at South County Park
The West Boca JCC is holding a Run Sweat & Beers event this coming Thursday in South County Regional Park.
Check-in starts at 5:30 pm at the Sunset Pavilion. The race starts at 7 and there will be food and awards around 8 pm. Get packets at the JCC for the next couple days or at the race on Thursday.
The event benefits a scholarship fund.
East Boca and West Boca
Sometimes West Boca feels like the black sheep of The Boca family. Here’s a cute example. The Greater Boca Chamber has a page about its West Boca Initiative. it hasn’t been updated since 2007.
Ethan Allen Closed
Today we noticed that the Ethan Allen store in Boca Lyons Plaza is closed. A sign indicates there will be a new kosher market soon. Apparently Ethan Allen is opening a new “design center” in East Boca.
There’s a building going up in the Boca Lyons parking lot. It will apparently house a Wendy’s and a mattress store.
