The Lake Worth Herald: Mary Lindsey reports on incredibly successful grant effort for City

In this week's Lake Worth Herald is a detailed account of all the work that was done and the huge success regarding the recent Resident Education to Action Program (REAP) grants awarded to the little City of Lake Worth. The NAPC received many grants as well as other volunteer efforts in the City. Later will publish more excerpts, but for now here is one:

     The REAP series and grant opportunity is open to all neighbors in Palm Beach County, not only Neighborhood Associations. Individuals and non-profit organizations are also encouraged to participate.
     In Lake Worth, two such groups were successful in their grant applications. The recently formed Cottages of Lake Worth non-profit volunteer organization received a grant in the maximum amount of $5,000 to fund new maps, brochures and bike card postcards promoting the cottages of Lake Worth as another great reason to invest and make Lake Worth home to even more families.
     The new Lake Worth Visitor and Information Center, located in the old City Hall annex building at the Cultural Plaza downtown was conceived, organized and is completely staffed by volunteers. Susan Ona and Teresa Miller, who attended the REAP series on behalf of the Visitors Center, successfully wrote a grant requesting $2,000 for brochure racks, information boards and event calendars to share even more information with visitors and residents alike who frequent the Center. The Visitor Center is open Monday thru Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. As more volunteers from the Neighborhoods sign up to serve, the hours of operation will be expanded.
