Yesterday, Raymond lee jewelers had the pleasure of attending the Junior League of Boca Raton’s 24th Annual Woman Volunteer of the Year Lunchoen.

The luncheon, sponsored by both individual league members and local Boca Raton businesses, was a gorgeous affair that honored 22 women who consistently go above and beyond their duties to volunteer.
The ladies who were being honored had their photos displayed prominently in the entrance to the Boca Resort’s Mizner Center.
Lu-Lu Thomas, of the Boca Raton Historical society, was honored with this year’s award, after more than 30 years of service to the Boca Raton community.

The entrance to the fete held displays of Boca Magazine (this issue features a profile on Igor, our watch expert and CW21!), lots of red rose floral arrangements, and the Ruby Wall.
Guests could purchase a “ruby” on the wall, and if that ruby held a prize on the back of it, then the purchaser was a lucky winner!
Raffle tickets also garnered entrance to win some of the Ruby Wall’s biggest prizes, including the 7.78 carat white gold Diamonds by the Yard necklace donated by Raymond Lee Jewelers!
The lucky winner was thrilled about her new jewels, values at over $7,500.
The day was full of fun prize announcements, including the winners of the many goodies up for grabs in the silent auction.
Saks Fifth Avenue of Boca Raton Town Center put on a stunning fall fashion show, and hosted a VIP reception area for members of the JLBR’s 1971 society.
