Where the Trees ARe !
Our 2019 conference artwork inspiration is the Fort
Lauderdale Rain Tree (Albizie saman). The tree was
declared a Florida Champion in 1982 by the Florida
Division of Forestry, currently measuring in at 61
feet tall, 127 feet wide, 19 feet in circumference,
and is around 100 years old. The Fort Lauder-
dale City Commission officially designated the
tree as protected which means it can only be
moved upon the commission’s specific approval.
A Commission Protected Tree is a tree, which
due to its size, shape, character, age, aesthetic
value, species, historical value or any combina-
tion thereof declared by the city commission to
be a locally unique example of the species. The
Rain Tree is so named because its leaves curl during
precipitation. An even larger Rain Tree served as the
site where castaways built an elaborate tree house in
the Disney film Swiss Family Robinson, the highest
grossing movie of 1960. The Fort Lauderdale Rain
Tree commands a 6-acre plot located at the 400 block Original photo © Cal Deal
of SW 4th Avenue along the New River.
DID YOU KNOW?
Our 2019 conference inspiration comes from the 1960 comedy film ‘Where the Boys Are’ (based on the 1960 novel of the same
name by Glendon Swarthout) about spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The title song “Where the Boys Are” was sung by
Connie Francis who also co-starred in a supporting role. The film featured sun, sand and romance. Released in the wintertime,
it inspired many American college students to head to Fort Lauderdale for their annual spring break. Visit the iconic Elbo Room
Dive Bar that was established in 1938 at 241 South Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, and became a landmark
for Fort Lauderdale Beach. The bar was prominently featured in the 1960 film Where the Boys Are.You can also read
