Celebrations: Retirement Announcement Boca Raton

Eric Shaw, Boca Helping Hands’ longest-serving board member, stepped down after 18 years of service, 14 as vice president. Shaw, described by staffers as ‘the perfect gentleman,’ personified the nonprofit’s mission of providing food, medical and financial assistance to people in need. ‘I stayed so long because it has been a phenomenal trip,’ he said. ‘It has been my personal pleasure and a professional privilege to be a small part of this great organization doing so much good for so many in our caring and compassionate community.’
