Event Description:
YPOP is celebrating the first year Anniversary of our new 2019 Mentor - Mentee Program between our Board Members as Mentors and YPOP Members as their Mentees, started by our 2019 Board Chair, Evelyn Hopkins. We had 28 Mentor-Mentee successful pairings that met on a monthly basis, that we will celebrate for acheiving their program completion goals. For YPOP members interested in applying to join this program for 2020 - we invite you to join us  for a night of networking, cocktails, and appetizers.  Also, please join us to learn more about local Palm Beach County turn-of-the-century millionaires who built this town via interesting stories told by Jeremy Johnson, the President and CEO of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. He will share stories of little known legends and stories of the characters who had a vision, starting in the 1880's, to put this town on the map, as a destination for the "rich and famous" and to bring trade via railroads from South America to the entire United States. We will take a tour of the Historical Society and see behind the scenes to see their inventory of historical museum photos and items, donated by founding families, of the Palm Beach Island and local area.
