May 20, 2016 Welcome back, my friends, to the 15th Annual Robert F. Novins Memorial Golf Tournament & Reception being held again this year at Carsons Tavern and Stuart Yacht & Country Club in lovely Stuart, Florida. The proceeds from this event will benefit the Volunteers in Medicine Clinic in Stuart, so I ask you to please contribute in whatever way you can. Every little bit helps. Whether here volunteering your time, making a monetary or gift donation, attending the evening reception or coming out to enjoy a day of golf, your efforts are greatly appreciated and will benefit many medically indigent residents of our area. Although we are not too serious about the level of play, we are extremely serious about the benefits this tournament confers upon our community. Today, I ask that you embrace the spirit of my dad. Play your best, keep up with the pace and observe proper etiquette, but most importantly enjoy the day! Enjoy being outside, enjoy conversation with old friends and enjoy meeting new ones. As always, you have my sincere appreciation. Carson Novins PS: Please come and enjoy the Preakness Stakes, Helicopter Ball Drop and Award Ceremony immediately following the golf.

The proceeds from this tournament will benefit Volunteers in Medicine Clinic in Stuart. Since 1995, the VIM Clinic has been treating medically indigent adult residents of Martin County who have no access to health care and are without government assistance. These residents have income under 200 percent of the federal poverty level which is equivalent to $23,760 for a single person, $32,040 for a family of two, or $40,320 for families of three. The funds raised at this event will pay for primary and specialty care for patients who qualify. The volunteer medical professionals encompass a wide array of specialties that include allergy, dermatology, family practice, internal medicine, gastroenterology, gynecology, mental health, opthal- mology, optometry, orthopedic, otolaryngology, podiatry, urology, and more. With the help of generous volunteers and supporters, VIM Clinic is able to care for almost 1,000 adult residents at any given time, with an average of 50 patient visits a day. While VIM Clinic does not charge for its services, it is not a walk-in clinic. Patients must pre-qualify by showing proof of income, legal residency and lack of any other health care prospects. In essence, VIM Clinic is Martin health care safety net, where the medically indigent are treated with care, compassion and dignity. At VIM Clinic, volunteers are able to practice the art of medicine, not the business of health care. 98 cents of every dollar donated goes directly to patient care. This is possible because of the generosity of the entire community from Martin Health System and Diagnostic Imaging Services which absorbs over 4 million dollars a year in diagnostic and laboratory services, its volunteers and to individuals like yourselves who donate each year. Thanks to supporters and donors like YOU, VIM Clinic is able to provide quality medical care to these without access to healthcare right here in Martin County.

ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS TOURNAMENT WILL SUPPORT VIM CLINIC.

The 15th Annual ROBERT F. NOVINS MEMORIAL

GOLF TOURNAMENT

Robert F. Novins was born on September 9, 1926, in Spring Lake, N.J. He lived the rest of his life in Toms River, N.J., where he married Irene Walsh in 1951. They had four children of whom Robert was very proud: Jeffrey Hartt, Landscape Architect; Beth Novins, Restauranteur; Allison Novins, Naturopathic Doctor; and Carson Novins, Tavern Tycoon.

Educated at the University of North Carolina and Rutgers Law School, Mr. Novins was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in

prestigious lawyers. In June 1962, at the age of 35, Mr. Novins was appointed to the Bench by Gov. Richard J. Hughes, becoming the youngest judge in state history at the time. After distinguishing himself on the Bench, Mr. Novins decided to return to his true passion the practice of law as a trial attorney.

Mr. Novins litigated a myriad of complex cases, appearing many times in the Appellate Division of the Superior Court and in the Supreme Court of New Jersey. Among the many cases he handled over the course of a 50-year career was Rova Farms v. Investors Insurance Company. This case resulted in a landmark decision creating a new concept in the relationship between the insured and their carriers, now widely adopted throughout the United States.

During his career, Mr. Novins was widely regarded as one of the top three trial attorneys in New Jersey. His professional and civic accomplishments are too numerous to list. His reputation as a fine lawyer and a gentleman was never questioned. His munificence to his friends and family was his greatest legacy.

Robert F. Novins was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on January 31, 2002, at his home in Stuart, Florida.
