TRNA ELECTIONS - I wanted to let everyone know that the Tropical Ridge Neighborhood Association has a brand new President, Robert Elliott & Vice-President, Steffanie Mayo. Both Bob & Steffanie have been active members of the Association, participating in numerous clean-ups and fundraisers. We greatly appreciate them stepping up to serve as Officers for the Association. Congratulations to you both! We would also like to thank Ryan Anderson for his past three years of service as a TRNA Officer. Due to a scheduling conflict, Ryan Anderson will continue to serve as the TRNA liaison to the Neighborhood Association Presidents' Council (NAPC).
SHUFFLEBOARD COURTS - This upcoming Wednesday, January 25th from 6 - 8pm there will be a Community Meeting at the Lake Worth Shuffleboard Court. The City's Recreation Department will be soliciting feedback from residents on what they envision as the future of the Shuffleboard Courts. At our last meeting, their was unanimous consent among the membership present to support the following:
1. The preservation of some of the existing shuffleboard courts.
2. For the City to relocate the Lake Worth Museum to the building, with volunteers and oversight conducted by the Recreation Advisory Board.
We urge all of you to attend the meeting and to voice your opinion on the future of the building & the courts.
CRA/NSP II UPDATE - On January 10th, President Bob attended the CRA meeting for an update on the NSP II grant. Here is his report: "Total expenditures thus far $8.2 million, 35% of total, need to spend 50% by 2/11. They are prepaying expenditures that are known on current projects, pre-buying materials known to be needed for construction, with future delivery orders, and they are investigating boundaries on pre-purchasing items for the lofts. Lofts are approved, permits are the next step, hoping to break ground by summer at the latest. 88 parcels have been purchased to date which represent 92 residential properties. There are 10 land purchases that will be banked to use later. 8 rehabs are completed at this time, 2 families have moved in, there are 21 properties assigned. They expect to have three additional properties completed this week. 30 properties will be substantially completed within 60 days. There are a total of 58 units in progress at this time."
TRNA CLEANUP - The next TRNA meeting is on Monday, February 6th @ 7pm at Compass. We would like to schedule a clean-up for the following Saturday, February 11th. The Association is going to target empty, abandoned lots for mowing. If you have suggestions on lots to target, please email me the location - jessica@tropicalridge.org. FYI, the Association has a mower and weedeater, but would greatly appreciate if anyone could volunteer some additional equipment for a few hours. We look forward to a record-setting turnout :)

Thank you Wes!
There has not been 1 person from Lake Worth that has played on the shuffleboard in years. The leagues have a new place to play and would never come back to Lake Worth.
I spoke to the head of the Lake Worth Shuffleboard Club - it's still their name. They are shuffling at some courts in Boynton now after our former City Manager treated them like the nasty word for excrement and made them unwelcome during the time the day labor center operated out of the building. They will not come back, but others could take their place. It would take a commitment. Would you like to learn to play?
NO
My brother and I used to play when we first moved to Florida. We were just kids, but it was still a lot of fun.
We just need to find a bunch of hipsters. ;)
I would like to learn. My tennis days are over and after my recent clavicle break my movements are limited so after a life of hot air ballooning, race car driving, shuffleboard might be a nice change of pace. I love the idea of trying a new sport.
Congratulations and Thank You to Robert, Steffanie and Jessica for serving the TRNA and a huge Thanks to Ryan for his past service. So happy Ryan will continue on the NAPC.
Ryan should run for Mcoy's seat. Another intelligent normal person on the dais would help the city alot.
How right you are. To have a commissioner like Ryan would be a huge help to our city.
I'm thinking the entire Anderson/Plotkin household is simply bursting with viable, intelligent, informed, engaged, highly electable candidates, either of whom would make excellent Commissioners.
