Raft Race Committee and Garden Meeting

Mango Groves Neighborhood Association Update

Mango Groves is participating in the Lake Worth Grunge Raft Race held over the Independence Day weekend in Bryant Park.   This year's theme is Broadway Musicals.   Our choice (so far) is Priscilla Queen of the Desert.   We are looking for people who would like to participate in building and planning the float, participating in the race, or just the crew, or the cheering section.   This event is a fun highlight of the neighborhood activities in my book, and I look forward to see what we produce (and if it floats!!)  There will be a planning meeting next week (most likely Monday eveningMay 14th).   Please email us if you would like to take part. More details to follow.

For many of our residents, hurrican season is a worry, and as we plan ahead,
