What Prince Charles and his organization are doing for local community sustainability...


Some of the issues addressed by the Prince's organization came up in a recent conversation about the importance of our cottages here in Lake Worth. Many of the techniques used to build those structures and what turned out to be historic characteristics has been lost in the current labor market. There was a suggestion that we look to establish an apprentice program so that current-day carpenters are available who have the skills to rebuild wooden sash windows, for example. The notion of our cottage community could be celebrated in a future festival of some sort where there could be workshops on these techniques. This could happen right here in Lake Worth.
