The Junior Orange Bowl recently celebrated its new downtown Coral Gables office with an open house reception and ribbon cutting ceremony.

Coral Gables Mayor Jim Cason joined Junior Orange Bowl President Don Slesnick III, President-elect Robert Bueso, Ph.D., and Junior Orange Bowl Executive Director Barbara Norland in cutting the orange ribbon on Tuesday, Feb. 26.

Members, volunteers and friends of the Junior Orange Bowl, including leaders of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, Coral Gables Commissioner Ralph Cabrera, Miami-Dade School Board member Dr. Larry Feldman, former Mayor Don Slesnick II and representatives of the Coral Gables Community Foundation, toured the new offices at 3001 Ponce de Leon Blvd. The organization was previously based on South Dixie Highway.

“We are delighted to move into downtown Coral Gables,” Mr. Slesnick III said. “We are very proud and grateful of the support that the city of Coral Gables and the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce gives the Junior Orange Bowl, and our new location can only strengthen our community relationships.”

The Junior Orange Bowl is celebrating its 65^th anniversary in 2013-2014. “This is a great start to what promises to be a very special anniversary season for the Junior Orange Bowl,” Mr. Slesnick added.

The Coral Gables Chamber, represented by Chair Darla Thompson and President & CEO Mark Trowbridge, presented a proclamation to the Junior Orange Bowl honoring the longstanding tradition of community enhancement and corporate citizenship in Coral Gables. Mayor Cason presented the Junior Orange Bowl with an official city seal.
